LAS CASITAS CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC.

2026 ANNUAL MEETING

 

President Gwenn Everett called the Annual Meeting of the Association held at Picacho Hills Country Club to order at 6:31 p.m. MST on February 10, 2026. 

 

Secretary Donald Black reported that there were 13 Unit Owners present in person and three Units which were represented by Proxy making a total of 16.  The By-Laws of the Association require 1/3rd of the Unit Owners (or 13) be present in person or by proxy in order to establish a Quorum.  Therefore, a Quorum was established.

 

After noting that the minutes of the 2025 Annual Meeting have been posted to the Association’s website and had also been sent with the Notice of this meeting, President Everett asked if they needed to be read or if there a motion to waive the reading.  A motion to waive the reading and approve the minutes was made, seconded and approved by the membership.

 

President Everett then welcomed all and asked those present to introduce themselves before addressing the state of affairs of the Association.  She first reminding the membership of the 2025 maintenance fee increase which allowed the Association to handle the ever increasing costs of insurance, landscaping, pool maintenance and utilities and informed those present that, while no decision has been made, an additional increase may be needed in 2027.  She thanked everyone for keeping their maintenance fees current and assured the Unit Owners that the Board is doing what it can to control costs and renegotiate with vendors when possible.  She reported that the pool will receive a new filter in the spring which will hopefully resolve the poor water condition experienced in late 2025 and the sun shade, which was removed to protect it from sun rot and wind damage, will be reinstalled when the weather improves.

 

She then called upon Director Allen Potter to report on ownership transfers since the last meeting of Unit Owners.  He advised that ownership of Units 3, 4 and 28 have changed since the last meeting of members and that Unit 29 was sold this week.  He also reported that to the best of his knowledge four Units are currently rentals and two Units are anticipated to be listed for sale in the coming months.  There are no known short term rentals.

 

Director Toby Kopsa next reported on grounds maintenance and landscaping and his meetings with the Extreme Landscaping supervisor to address several minor issues such as landscaping rocks blown in the streets and their failure to address all Units each week from time to time last year. 

 

The next order of business was the election of Directors.  Donald Black, Megan Boelter, Gwenn Everett and Toby Topsa were nominated by the Nominating Committee for the 2026 to 2028 term.  All four nominees were elected by acclimation.

 

A general discussion among the members then ensued after which, there being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:05 p.m. MST.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Donald Black, Secretary
