Re: Request for Authorizations


 

Ken,
We are a?board with members. We were formed to represent the will of the property owners in regards to the "Roads".? During the last meeting, it was decided that site #1 (the best site) would be investigated until it had been determined it was unusable. I do not understand why you consider this site a "long shot", ?and I respectfully disagree!? it appears to me that you are following your own agenda.? ?I will openly admit that I am troubled by some of your?actions.? We just received a statement from the attorney for $200 for just talking to you the first time. I expect we will receive another bill for the letter of intent you requested him write to the Ellers and School Board without first discussing this with the board. FYI, I sent an email to the attorney instructing that any requests of any kind regarding legal matters will come from the Board,?not any single individual.??
In regards to your meeting with the VDO?President Lynn, I had a meeting with Ross Miller, the former President of FRMID?and discussed the agreement with VDO that you mentioned in a previous email, that we possibly overlooked. Since we were both present during the paving of Fairfield, neither of us were aware of any such agreement to pave the unused chained off exit from Palisades. Again I ask, did you see any such agreement in writing?? ?Hopefully you did not commit the district to fulfill such a request without discussing and presenting facts to the board.
Why may I ask are you so focused with whether there is or is not an easement bordering the school property for Site#1?? We have never approached the school board and asked them to consider allowing us to place mail boxes on a small portion of their property prior to now. If we obtain permission, and I have confidence that we will, we do not need to pursue?any other actions. In my experience the school board will need to see drawings showing exact dimensions of the area we are requesting to use. Do we have the exact dimensions or requirements signed off by the Postmaster??
On a personal note, I feel the need to remind you that this is Cochise County, Arizona and we are currently in the middle of an inflated economy. Everyone that has anything to do with home services, home improvement, construction or land development etc. (which includes our surveyor) are extremely busy. There are shortages on products and materials as well as prices escalating at unimaginal rates. ?
I spoke to the?surveyor yesterday, he apologized and said he will do the best he can considering his current?backlog of work. He is unable to predict just when he will be able to get out to Fairfield but hopes it might be within the next two weeks. When he is able to survey our District for the 4th time, rest assured that he will have all the current legal documents to go on. I am curious as to why you?feel the need to speak to him personally, and would like to know your intentions prior to his arrival, especially if it concerns the district.
In closing, I want to make it known that I personally have not chimed in on your continuous emails for a reason.? As the Board President, I would like to remain politically correct and feel it's better that I say nothing than to add my personal input which might be considered rather negative.
Your personal timeline doesn't matter as much as doing the right thing concerning the District does.?
It is apparent?that you disagree with the way the district is being managed, then I suggest you plan to?attend the last meeting of the year and elect a new board.?

I¡¯ve been working on finding a site for the mailboxes since the Board Meeting last September.? On September 17, 2020, I sent the Chair of the 3 Canyons Master Design Committee a ¡°heads-up¡± email about our plans to install mailboxes. There was little progress in the fall because I was waiting for a Board meeting to be called to discuss the mailboxes. The meeting in March was the first since September.

I must admit that I¡¯m a little frustrated with the slow pace of progress, especially the past few months. Frankly, I feel it has been me, who has wanted to explore all the potential sites simultaneously, against the Road District that focused solely on site #1 east, which I¡¯ve always thought was a very long shot.

Why is the Road District so set on site #1 east? This is what Jimmy said in his email of March 21.

¡°We think #1 is the best option for these reasons.
1. The mailboxes would be located on the east side of the road which is convenient.?
2. The pull out is on private property. If we lose access to the pull out, where will we park?¡±?

That¡¯s it. Why have the other potential sites, #3 west and #1 west, been ignored?

As I¡¯ve said numerous times, I have no favorite site. I just want to have mailboxes. At least three factors need to be considered in evaluating potential sites: legality, spaciousness, and convenience, with legality by far the most important. ?Legality involves contacting the property owners and spaciousness involves knowing the location of the property line.

They surveyors were originally scheduled to come out in early February, but they haven¡¯t been here yet. They haven¡¯t been given the priority that they deserve. We don¡¯t need much information. Only the location of the property line at site #1 west and site #3 west.

I request authorization from Jim to contact the surveyors ASAP and to meet with them when they are here.

We also need to contact the property owners of site #3 west.?

I request authorization from Jim to contact the property owners of site #3 west. I believe that he has their contact information.

Unfortunately, we¡¯re not going to make my goal of having mailboxes installed before Sharon and I leave for the summer at the end of May. (I didn¡¯t expect it to take eight months just to find a site along Fairfield Cir!) Nevertheless, I will continue putting my best effort into the project, and hopefully someone will take over when we leave.
