Nearly $30,000 in Valley Voice postage expenditures

I helped identify approximately $30,000 in erroneous postage spending over five years that raised questions under the publisher's distribution contract and a limited COVID-era authorization. We are being told that postage payments are still being made, despite contract wording that I believe places that cost on the publisher. Homeowners deserve confirmation of those reports, a clear accounting, and supporting approvals.

Makes one wonder, why do these people want to keep the money flowing?

Management agreements should be understandable

I've examined the CMC management agreement, its 2023 addendum, and the DVOA bylaws. Important questions remain about renewals, approvals, contract terms, and value. Management companies should not have effectively lifelong contracts. Their agreements and performance should be reviewed, and management services should be competitively rebid periodically.

Better options for gate access

We were told that the clickers were obsolete and wouldn't work with the new system, and we had to switch. This simply was not true.

My review found documentation indicating the access system can support RFID and existing fob/clicker methods together. Modernization should expand convenience and choices—not unnecessarily replace workable options.

Protect our gates and appropriate staffing

I oppose proposals to remove our gates or eliminate gate security personnel. I personally heard a CMC member say we should get rid of the gates altogether. Residents deserve clarity about what was proposed and why. Technology can strengthen access control, but staffing and security decisions deserve careful evaluation, not shortcuts.
