WALL NOTICE (CONTINUED) REQ’D: DOGS ON A LEASH Residents should know that wall repair is the MOST EXPENSIVE ITEM WE SPEND YOUR HOA DUES ON (besides the contribution we make to maintain the Finley Farms North Park on Mesquite, next to the elementary school). This equals tens of thousands of dollars a year, and even though we just finished repairs and repainting, already there are properties showing damage, huge water stains, plaster falling off and more. If you have a question about your wall or your responsibility, DO NOT WAIT until you get a letter or bill. Call Vision and let’s work together to fix the problem early before the damage gets worse. Finley Farms South, c/o Vision Community Management, 16625 S. DesertFoothills Parkway, Phoenix, AZ 85048 If you have questions, call (480) 759-4945.
We are once again having some issues with dogs running free, scaring families by not being on a leash in the parks, and owners not picking up after their dogs. Please be mindful to clean up after your dog. We have placed numerous doggie clean-up stations throughout Finley Farms South to make it convenient to do so. Found dogs can be posted on our Facebook page to help owners be reunited with their pets quickly.
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!
