SCOV - Vote NO on all 3

Initiative 1 authorizes the board to spend up to $3M for renovations to Copper Center, the Artisan Center and The Welcome Center. Initiative 2 seeks authorization for a Special Assessment (SA) of $2.49M ($1,000/household) for future amenity needs “such as” the Artisan Center, Copper Center, Welcome Center, Pickleball and Pools.

Here is what to know:

1. IMPACT ON RESIDENTS:

The Board has had over 2 years to plan for the Copper renovation costs, but no plan was adopted let alone even discussed until just recently...

2. THERE IS NO PLAN B IF VOTES FAIL:

Despite being asked, the board has no plan and no idea what it will do if the votes are NO...

3. INITIATIVE 1’S LANGUAGE MISLEADS VOTERS:

Initiative 1 authorizes spending of $3M on Copper, Artisan Center and Welcome Center together, implying all 3 can be done for $3M...

4. INITIATIVE 2 GIVES COMPLETE DISCRETION TO BOARD:

Initiative 2 allows the board to spend the $1,000/household SA as it sees fit with vague references to other amenities...

5. RESIDENT PREFERENCES IGNORED:

Top amenities desired by residents were aquatics and hard courts — the board has disregarded this...

6. INITIATIVES ARE PREMATURE:

We still lack approvals from Oro Valley for renovation plans and zoning changes. Cost estimates are not finalized...

TAKEAWAY: The case for a NO vote on Initiatives 1 & 2 is compelling.

🛑 Say NO to Higher Capital Contribution Fees!

Thinking of selling your home? This increase won’t hit you — but it will hit your buyer. And that hurts all of us.

Here’s why increasing the Capital Contribution Fee (paid by buyers at closing) is a bad idea for our community:

🚫 Makes Homes Harder to Sell

Higher move-in costs push buyers away — especially retirees. That means fewer offers, slower sales, and lower home values for all of us.

💰 Hidden Fee, No Clear Benefit

Where will the money go? Without a clear, transparent plan, this fee becomes just another HOA slush fund.

        📣 Let’s protect home values and keep our neighborhood welcoming.

        Vote NO on the increase in the Capital Contribution Fee.
