What Cottonwood S Quare & Commons Homeowners Association's governing documents say

This document is a set of board meeting minutes for the Cottonwood Square & Commons Homeowners Association (Tempe, AZ), not the full governing documents (CC&Rs or bylaws). It covers discussions and decisions made at the October 23, 2019 board meeting. While it reveals some operational details, the complete rules for the community are found elsewhere.

• Monthly assessments: The board discussed a dues increase for 2020. Monthly dues were $105 in 2008, briefly $115, then back to $105, and will rise to $120 in 2020. The increase is partly due to rising minimum wage and vendor costs.
• Parking & vehicles: A resident requested a designated handicap parking space near the pool, but the board declined due to limited parking overall, fearing that a designated spot would further restrict parking for others. One pool monitor offered to allow the person to park behind them when visiting the pool.
• Pool rules & maintenance: The board implemented new pool rules during summer for family-friendly use. Planned repairs include draining, acid washing, pressure washing, painting the deck, and changing sand filters in the pool and hot tub. Work is scheduled for spring 2020.
• Architectural & paint compliance: The board enforces CC&Rs requiring homeowners to maintain paint on their homes and use approved colors. An official design review committee (also called 'Agricultural committee') has been formed and is recruiting volunteers. A separate social committee is also being created.
• Website & communications: The association's website (cschoa.com) was redesigned to offer updated information and a portal where homeowners can submit requests that are automatically sent to two board members and the management representative, improving response times.
• Legal & regulatory compliance: The management company explained Senate Bill 1531, effective January 2020, requiring monthly notification of HOA fees (replacing coupon books). Homeowners can opt for electronic notifications to reduce costs.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document is not the full rulebook. It does not include complete pet policies, lease restrictions, architectural guidelines, or other standard HOA rules. Those are found in the community's CC&Rs and bylaws.
