Hi All,
Here's info on the new gate code for phone numbers. I've tested
it and it works perfectly. I've edited the message and put in Xs

Ken,
Visitors can enter XXX and press the CALL button. That will call
phone number 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX? (the number in our records). After
the connection is made and you confirm the identity of the person
calling from the gate, simply press the 9 button to open the gate
and disconnect the call. If you do not want to provide access to
the caller, simply disconnect the call on your phone--the gate
will not open.
If the phone number needs updating or you have problems with using
this feature, let me know.

Hi All,
Napoleon called mud the fifth element, after
water, air,
earth and fire, because his army, like many others before and
since, frequently
got bogged down in it. In most parts of the country unpaved roads
commonly turn
into knee-deep mud during periods of heavy rain, and in these
areas, developers
must pave roads in new housing developments.
Most areas of southeastern Arizona don¡¯t have
deep mud even
after monsoon downpours, and developers can get away with leaving
roads unpaved
as happened here in Fairfield Estates.? Why
is this? It¡¯s because in the desert southwest
there is a layer of cemented soil just below the surface called
caliche hardpan. As long as the hardpan is intact,
it is almost like pavement. However, if it¡¯s breached, then the
soil beneath
the hardpan is susceptible to relatively rapid erosion.
The attached Figure 1 shows an excellent
example of breached
hardpan that can be seen in the cow pasture at the east end of
Paseo Venado. The
breached track can be followed about 800 feet north from the gate
along the
fence line. The photo shows that once the hardpan is breached, the
underlying
soil can be gullied.
I don¡¯t know how thick the original hardpan was
in the cow
pasture, but Figure 2 shows that the remaining hardpan is less
than 5 inches
thick.
Figure 3 was taken on Sexton Pl near the
entrance to our
driveway. Last time the road was graded, it was ¡°crowned¡± with the
edges cut several
inches lower than the center. The material shown in the photo
between the road
surface and the top of the hardpan is gravel and dirt that was
pushed there in
the grading.
At least 10 inches of hardpan has been removed
between the
top of the hardpan and the present road surface on Sexton Pl near
our home. I
don¡¯t know how much hardpan remains below the present road surface
at the edges,
but my guess is not much.?
I don¡¯t know how common the problem is of ¡°thin
remaining hardpan¡±
on other unpaved roads in Fairfield Estates, but it should be
considered in any
decision regarding future grading. We don¡¯t want our roads gullied
like the
breached track in the cow pasture.

Morning Matthew,
I haven¡¯t seen the agenda for the FERMID
Board meeting on
April 20, but I hope there is information at the meeting on
project costs and possible
timetables for paving (or not paving) the remaining unpaved
roads, what the
options are, and how these options will affect our property
taxes.
Also, I want to thank you for forwarding the
agenda for the
3 Canons Board meeting. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have known about
the new gate
codes that can be used at the call box to ring a phone to let
visitors in. That¡¯s
a big improvement from looking up names at the call box.
Thanks,
Ken

Re: Fairfield Estates Mailboxes and Speeding
Works for me. I propose we revisit the item ¡°Regrading/gravel for unpaved roads.¡±, as that is something
I¡¯ve very
concerned about. I¡¯m afraid that one more grading of our part
of Sexton will
cut through the hard pan, and then we¡¯ll have a serious
erosion problem. In a
few days I¡¯ll send pictures taken immediately adjacent to
Fairfield Estates
that illustrate this potential problem.
Does the Board have an
estimate of how
much it will cost to pave the remaining unpaved roads and an
estimate of how
long at our present tax rate it will take to have sufficient
funds? If the Board
doesn¡¯t have those figures, I¡¯ll volunteer to research them.

Hey all,?
The board is required to provide a 24 hour notice and post
the notice in 3 locations.?
This regulation was followed to my knowledge as I posted 2
of the notices and sent Hal another to distribute via email.?
I would like to remind everyone that we are neighbors, not
politicians. You seem to treat us as though we work for you, I
can assure you we don't. We work for the neighborhood
volunteering our time.?
If you continue to be adversarial, we will only offer
what is required to protect ourselves from further
accusations. This will surely promote more accusations and
divide the neighborhood as we have seen in the past.?
Or, we can try and work together as a community, recognize
when improvement is needed, and work in a direction to promote
a stronger bond and promote the free flow of information.?
Let me know how?you would like to proceed.?
Thanks,
Jimmy
Ken,
I am not on the board and do not know the details.? They have
already admitted that it could have been handled better and
have apologized.? There is no need to continue to hound them
for something they can¡¯t undo.? Instead offer suggestions of
what you would prefer to see in the future.? Me personally -
an email notification and a posting on the mailboxes at least
one week prior would be sufficient notice.? Any other
thoughts?

In the future we will be attaching a sign to the mailbox barriers to post future notices. Additionally, we will be sending out notices over the email group as a back up to the physical notice. With that being said, I wanted to say thank you to all that helped get the mailboxes installed. It was a significant accomplishment, and though it certainly took longer than any one wanted, in the end we were successful.
Regarding the mailboxes, there is already evidence that some individuals are driving up onto the concrete pad to attempt to check their mail from inside their vehicle. The board is respectfully asking individuals to park their cars and exit their vehicles to check their mail. There is to great a potential for a car to hit the mail boxes if you attempt to pull up close enough to check your mail without exiting your vehicle. We feel to much effort and money has been spent to have our new mailboxes damaged in this fashion.
Secondly, there has been a few concerns with vehicles speeding down Fairfield and Paseo Venado. Again, the board is respectfully asking that residents of the district as well as their guests please obey the posted speed limit. As an added incentive, the board is exploring installing speed humps to encourage vehicles to slow down. This will be a discussion at the next board meeting.
As always thank you all for the support this neighborhood shows each other and we look forward to continuing to improve our district.
Respectfully, Matthew Paddock

Re: Fairfield Estates Mailboxes and Speeding
I can understand the frustration that is being felt. I do believe the board realizes that there was not enough communication about the meeting. I myself, did see the notice on the mailboxes but can understand how it could have been missed. It may be beneficial to poll the best way to post meetings and how much notice will be given. I am confident this poor communication of a meeting was an oversight.
I do encourage us all to not place mal-intent without evidence, to give our neighbors benefit of the doubt, and work together to find viable solutions.

?Was this meeting just called tonight, at maybe 5:30? What kind of planning is that?
Hal says, "We missed an opportunity to advertise using this email group account." How could an opportunity been missed? How long does it take to send an email?
Matthew says, " We sincerely apologize if not everyone saw the notice." Was it posted on the clipboard the Board installed at the corner of Fairfield Circle and Paseo Venando? I watch that clipboard and didn't see it.
An obvious interpretation could be that the Board wanted to limited the attendance at the meeting, but I'm sure the Board will have a reasonable explanation showing it wasn't their intent.
The Board is one of our most important governmental agencies that affects us. It collect 21.98% of our property tax. For our house, that ~$1000/year. What do we expect of them? Efficacy and economy?
As Amanda has said several times on these emails, the Board are volunteers and busy, which is absolutely true. But have they spurn others in the community who have volunteered to help and reduce costs on the mailboxes? Was that in the best interest of the community and the best way to spend our tax dollars?

Re: Fairfield Estates Mailboxes and Speeding
Good evening,
I am very saddened that I wasn¡¯t alerted of this meeting nor did I see one sign posted anywhere. I truly wanted to attend this meeting and I¡¯m appalled that this took place without the community knowing. This should have been posted at least a week ago and an email should have gone out as well. I find this very unprofessional and would like to know the dates for the next meetings for the upcoming year. Respectfully, Sharon Landon
