Font suggestion for Board report in newsletter
In the Board report published in the monthly newsletter, it would be helpful to utilize bold and underline features to highlight committee names, dollar amounts, issues, etc of particular interest. As the reports currently appear, it is difficult to skim for specific information, it all just runs together. Perhaps a larger font would be helpful as well, though certainly space considerations dictate font size.
dog park
As a responsible pet owner and also a homeowner who observes the daily life cycle at CR Community Park, I would support CR HOA working with ToM to develop a dog park in the area. If at CR Community Park, the far southeast corner would be great – many people play there with their dogs and it would seem not to interfere with the ball fields (baseball or soccer.) The dog park at the far north end of James Kreig (sp?) Park in Oro Valley is an excellent example. ToM “ownership” of a dog park would hopefully alleviate HOA liability issues. This suggestion was previously submitted to the Long Range Planning Committee but never heard anything back.
Thanks for your consideration – the Suggestion Box is a great idea!

Sample Suggestions
Ideas that are clearly expressed will have a better chance of being understood and embraced by the community. The below suggestions are examples of well written ideas.
Suggestion Title: Dog Park
Suggestion Description: Add a dog park or running are for the community.
Suggestion Reasoning: We all love our animals and I think they deserve to have a place to run and play.
Suggestion Title: Pancake Breakfast
Suggestion Description: Put together an annual pancake breakfast
Suggestion Reasoning: The community I grew up in had an annual pancake breakfast, complete with wagon rides, fire departmet displays and music. It would be a fun way to get the community together and raise money for the food bank.
Updated 2007 Design Guidelines
Make the full 2007 Design Guidelines available online instead of a single sheet of changes that do not include the full changes.
Approved plant list
It would be far easier to write a list of prohibited plants which would be much shorter. A list of invasive species would be sufficient.
It makes sense to use plants that are adapted to an arid climate instead of using imported water guzzling varieties.
In addition homeowners should be allowed to have annual wildflowers in their front yards. The Sonoran desert enjoys a stunning display of ephemerals only about once every five years or so. This fleeting display of natural beauty lasts for a couple of weeks and then is gone until the next time that winter rains provide the right conditions. The homeowners who have them remove the spent plants as soon as they are done blooming.
