WHERE TO GO FROM HERE
Tom Patzke’s letter to the board stated perfectly where we should go from here. Mr. Patzke wrote, “Standard private community operating practices are in order at LCAP, nothing less, nothing improvised and unproven!! Demand it.”
The Ferrin complaint actually offers a great opportunity to resolve our problems. The attorneys for both parties, Penny Koepke with Maxwell & Morgan and Chad Miesen at Carpenter & Hazelwood, are both experts in community law. Their knowledge and expertise is exactly what we need to craft a rewrite of Section 19 (assessments) of our CC&R’s to bring them in line with current standards and practices.
In order to “Demand It” I suggest you show your support for my board resolution titled “A Plan To Move The Airpark Forward” by signing this online petition. This resolution directs the Board to begin settlement talks. It gives specific directions and goals needed to fix our funding problems and resolve the Ferrin complaint. This common sense solution should be unanimously supported by the board. The entire text of the resolution is below:
CORPORATE RESOLUTION OF LA CHOLLA AIRPARK, INC
A PLAN TO MOVE THE AIRPARK FORWARD
We, the undersigned, being all the Directors of La Cholla Airpark, Inc., organized and existing under the laws of Arizona, and having its principal place of business at 1777 West Cessna Way,
Tucson, AZ 85755 (the “Corporation”), hereby certify that the following is a true and correct copy of a resolution duly adopted at a meeting of the Directors of the Corporation duly held and convened on _____________________, at which a quorum of the Board of Directors was present and voting throughout, and that such resolution has not been modified, rescinded or revoked, and is at present in full force and effect:
WHEREAS the Shareholders of La Cholla Airpark have been hamstrung by ineffective and outdated CC&R’s that have severely limited their ability to fund ongoing maintenance and repairs:
WHEREAS numerous ballots have failed to modify assessments amounts or change the Super Majority voting requirement:
WHEREAS shareholder Lonny Ferrin has filed a legal complaint in an effort to repair our roads and voting governance:
WHEREAS the board desires to align it’s CC&R’s with current accepted norms used in most common interest communities, bring our roads up to standard, and resolve the Ferrin complaint:
THEREFORE, it is resolved, that the Corporation shall:
- Executive Meeting - Schedule a Executive Session Board Meeting with attorneys Penny Koepke with Maxwell & Morgan and Chad Miesen with Carpenter & Hazelwood for the purpose of delivering this resolution and setting up a framework to carry out the instructions below.
- Attorney Instructions - Instruct Attorney Penny Koepke with Maxwell & Morgan to:
- Drop efforts to dismiss the Ferrin complaint.
- Schedule meetings with Chad Miesen, at Carpenter & Hazelwood, to rewrite Section 19 of the CC&R’s. This rewrite should use CC&R’s typical at other airparks and communities as a guide. This new Section 19 should:
- Address Mr. Ferrin’s concerns as stated in his complaint
- Create a mechanism for setting continuing assessments, that do not require Shareholder vote.
- Determine a one time assessment to bring the roads up to standard
- Implement a Reserve Funding mechanism
- Require professional management
2) Settlement Agreement - Once the Board, and attorneys from both parties have completed a settlement agreement, such agreement shall be presented to the shareholders, in Petition form, to be voted on.
3) Failure of Settlement Agreement Petition - If the settlement petition fails to receive a 2/3 vote by shareholders then attorneys from both parties will request the court implement the agreement.
The officers of this corporation are authorized to perform the acts to carry out this corporate resolution.

I really did not think we would see this kind of movement so quickly because honestly I was just worried about how to even start fixing these old rules. My head is spinning a bit but seeing the support coming in makes it feel like we might actually get those lawyers talking and stop the fighting. We finally have some real energy behind the resolution and I am going to keep pushing on this until the board listens.

Our terrible roads need to be replaced Our aging water system buried under those roads needs to be updated.
This "good ol' boy" mentality needs to get over themselves and put their efforts into standard community practices. Lets get the show on the road! (pun intended)
Moving toward a settlement by meeting to look for common ground makes complete sense. If the suit is allowed to go to court, the "winners" will be the attorneys, not the LCAP shareholders. Clearly the roads must be addressed. There may be several paths to this, and all should be explored, but this approach may in fact be the most expeditious--especially given the number of attempts in the past that have failed.
I’ve been a shareholder/resident for more than thirty years and am fed-up with the continual parade of mismanagement, the “good ole boy” system, fraught with misfeasance, nonfeasance and lately malfeasance, that has suppressed property values in a raising market and kept this uncut and unpolished jewel from becoming an amazing community.
In addition to the rewrite of CC&Rs, Settlement Agree of the suit to the satisfaction of Lonnie Ferrin, a timeline is established of no more than 24 months for paving, professional management in place and enforcement of those CC&Rs for those who are in noncompliance such as junky properties or unfinished structures.
We need to fix the roads and have professional management.
We favor settling the Ferrin Lawsuit. Supermajority for financial matters is not working.

I own two La Cholla Airpark properties, and our biggest issues is the condition of our roads which is horrendous! These are long past life expectancy and need to be replaced now. With professional community management, and acceptable HOA dues to fund our needs and build reserves, our community can become an excellent place to proud of and awesome neighborhood.
