Great News from Board of Directors of Paa-Ko Communities Sewer Association

VITAL/TIMELY MESSAGE FOR ALL PCSA MEMBERS - $1,181,000 AWARDED TO PCSA IN GRANT/LOAN FUNDING
Note from Michael Boice - President of PCSA Board of Directors (This is important and exciting!)

As you may already know, last year we received funding from NMED to begin the process of obtaining continued grant/loan funding for needed repairs and upgrades to our fifteen (15) year old Wastewater Treatment Plant and Sewage Collection System.

This included funding for the engineering firm of Molzen Corbin & Assoc. to produce a Preliminary Engineering Report to identify the projected needs over the next ten to fifteen years.

The report was completed last fall which included direction to complete paperwork required to submit our request to the legislature (through the NM legislative capital outlay process) for the 2026 legislative session.

Last week we received the amazing news of not only one, but two award notices: one from the State of New Mexico, and the second from NMED (New Mexico Environmental Department), who funded the PER (professional engineering report). The legislature awarded a Grant of $461,000 and NMED/DFA offered a loan of $576,000 and a grant of $144,000. The loan is at 1% for 20 years.

I am tremendously grateful for the effort made by our board members, our consulting engineer, and especially our district legislative representatives who all worked diligently and tirelessly toward this momentous achievement for the Paa-Ko Sewer Association membership.

Note from East Mountain Wildfire Preparedness Association

From EMWPA:

The National Weather Service published a weather briefing this past Thursday that all of us need to be aware of and prepared for. This next week is going to be a turbulent set of days, maybe not every day, but certainly this could be a time we all need to be aquainted with and ready for. The link to this weather briefing is here: https://emifpa.org/emifpawp/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/SWB_WindSigFireWxPattern_2026March26.pdf

We highly recommend that you take the time to read this weather briefing. As everyone is aware, we are moving into the most dangerous few months for wildfire risk for our EM region.

Passing of Bruce Franks

 

FROM CHRISTIAN MCMAHON, PRESIDENT, PAA-KO COMMUNITIES HOA

It is with great sadness that I share the passing of Mr Bruce Franks. Bruce was the leader of this community from its inception for 20+ years, and the head of Mountain Ranch, our initial Developer. Bruce worked tirelessly to implement Roger Cox' vision for this wonderful spot in the East Mountains. He held positions of President and Treasurer for the Paa-Ko Communities HOA, Amenities, and Sewer Association. His dedication to this community is felt in every positive aspect of Paa-Ko. Please keep Bruce and his personal and extended families in your thoughts. He will be sorely missed, but remembered with a great fondness.

From EMPAC Regarding the Solar Farm

FROM  E M P A C:

A favorite saying of one of our team members is "raindrops make rivers." Thanks to our community's generosity in response to our recent call to match a $10,000 donation, our river is halfway up its bank!  Just $5,000 more, and the $10,000 donation will be matched! Can you help us? Marie Haycock, an East Mountains resident and longtime supporter of EMPAC, generously donated $10,000 to EMPAC to help cover legal fees related to the court case against PCR Energy and Sandoval County, which aims to prevent the development of Diamond Tail Ranch into a large-scale solar power plant.

A reminder that EMPAC is a very small non-profit, all-volunteer, grass-roots organization. Your donation is 100% tax-deductible and will be 1,000,000+% appreciated!"Order Granting Plaintiffs - Appellants "Motion to Stay Zoning Decision" What this means:  The court has approved EMPAC's and other interested parties' request to temporarily halt the enforcement of a zoning decision while the appeal is being considered.  Essentially, Sandoval County and PCR cannot commence with ANY work on the site until the entire appeal process is adjudicated (completed). In summary - this is NOT over! We haven't lost, and we haven't won, either. There will still be a need for legal counsel to prepare for upcoming proceedings. Please click here to donate DONATE

Recent Court Hearing Update

At a recent hearing, the Judge made two significant rulings that we consider positive for EMPAC and other interested parties. 
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS-APPELLANTS MOTIO TO STAY ZONING DECISION
ORDER DENYING SANDOVAL COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MOTION TO DISMISS

Important Reminder to Drive Slowly

Please exercise caution when driving on the north end of Paa-Ko.  The Wild Horses of San Pedro Creek have become frequent visitors to that side of our neighborhood  This past week, they were meandering up Raindance in the middle of the road.  The resident who saw them had to step out into the road to slow down several vehicles coming around a blind curve.  

A few weeks ago in San Pedro Creek, two horses were killed by vehicles going too fast.

Please be extra careful in this area.

I have attached the video the resident took of the horses.  Go to READ MORE and then to DOCUMENTS

FOR AMENITIES MEMBERS

From Barb Morrison - HOA TREASURER and AMENITIES

Attention Amenities Members:  Amenities Access Check

Please take a moment to confirm that your Amenities security card is still working.

We implemented a new security system a few months ago, and we know that some cards may no longer be active. These will need to be updated before pool season. Since the sales office is not open every day, access may not be restored immediately if there’s an issue. To help avoid delays and a rush when the pool opens, we ask that you check your card in advance.

Test your card: Stop by the Amenities at any time and use your card to access the restrooms outside the pool. If your card works, no further action is needed.

If your card does not work: Please contact paakoamenities@gmail.com with your name and the card number printed on the back.
I can quickly get your access restored.

Prefer to stop by in person? Charlotte can also assist you in the office.

Thank you for helping us ensure a smooth start to pool season!
