From the Paa-Ko Board of Directors:

Spurred by the arrival of spring and with a few residents discovering their amenity gate keys no longer work, we’ve realized there has been a hitch with some homeowner good-faith assessment payments or, more rarely, with the processing of the payments. Since our second half assessments will be due on July 1st for those who chose to split their remissions, it is appropriate to remind Paa-Ko residents and lot owners that they may receive two community bills from HOAMCO: one for the HOA (which includes the annual assessment and, if applicable, the amenities assessment) and one for sewer.     

Despite a letter describing the importance of payment care, some issues are recurring:

1)  It has happened that a couple of online payments were sent to our previous community management company, Associa
2)  Some homeowners apparently disregarded the second HOAMCO mailed invoice assuming their assessment/s had already been paid.   

Admittedly, a very few payments were misapplied by HOAMCO. This usually happened when both payments were sent in the same envelope or, worse, when only one check was written for both bills. Sometimes, the different account numbers were not on the checks. The sewer and HOA financials are completely separate, but (confusingly) payments for both entities are directed to the same PO Box in Nevada

On Thursday December 15, the New Mexico Court of Appeals upheld the New Mexico District 2 Court’s ruling that the Aquifer Science development (Campbell Ranch) could adversely impair as many as 100 wells in the Sandia Basin, that this determination was supported by substantial evidence in the record, and that the application to use water in the Sandia Basin for their development was contrary to the conservation of water. The application to pump water from the Sandia Basin for the Campbell Ranch development, therefore, has been denied for the third time.  Aquifer Science has 30 days to appeal and request that the case be heard by the New Mexico Supreme Court.

This ruling is a strong and essential element supporting the opposition by EMPAC and others to Campbell Ranch development and its adverse impacts on our East Mountain community and resources.

EMPAC is grateful to the all the Deep Well Protesters, the many individuals who joined as Appellees, and Bernalillo County for their combined determination to prevent this irresponsible development.

In particular, we are grateful to our outgoing District 5 Commissioner Pyskoty, who has been a strong supporter of EMPAC and protection of the East Mountains from the serious consequences of Campbell Ranch development.”

Please stop by the Paa-Ko office to get your vehicle sticker, if you do not already have one.  This request has been made by the Paa-Ko-Ko Security person, Fred, in order to help him identify people who do and do not live in Paa-Ko.
