Al Duff's resignation

4/30/2014

To:  All POA Members

       I am resigning today for health reasons.  First, I want to thank all of you who elected me twice and apologize for being unable to finish my term.  Secondly, I would like to thank all the other board members for their help in getting things done.

       I would also like to share with you some of my observations on our POA.  Our POA is actually two POAs, Cedar Springs and Eureka Springs Phase II.  Originally these were separate and then they were combined by AZ Land and Ranches.  This should never have been done.  The members who live in Cedar Springs have different needs than those in Eureka Springs II.  The method of meeting those needs was the cause of some of the conflicts in our organization.  I had hoped that these difficulties would have gone away after the last election, unfortunately, they did not.  If, in the future there is any way of dividing the POA back into the original parts I strongly encourage you to support the effort.

        The second issue I would like to address is the rewriting of the Declaration of Covenants and the Bylaws of the Association.  This is our organization and we have the right to re-make it to suit our needs.  The Declaration which was provided by AZ Land and Ranches is a cut and paste work from other developments and sub-divisions, with a few minor things thrown in for our specific developments.  We need to reform these to what suits us.  We are a very diverse group but I believe that there will be some items on which we can all agree.  I hope to be well enough to assist with the rewriting and if I can I will ask for your suggestions at the appropriate time.  If I am unable to assist please remember that the rights of the Ranchers may not be altered without a legal battle.  The Ranchers paid for the grazing and water access rights.  Please do not try to sever them.  In closing, I wish you the best of luck with your properties and your personal endeavors.

Sincerely,

Al Duff

Grazing Lease

I was asked to investigate the possibility of lowering taxes on unoccupied parcels by way of leasing them to the Ranchers for grazing purposes. . It took me a while to locate the person in the Assessor's office (I'm not in Safford that often). The answer is that it would be very complex to do so. The Rancher  already has grazing rights to the unfenced properties. You would need to fence your property to establish your own rights and then convince the Rancher that he should lease them. In short you have nothing to lease until the property is fenced.
