Savoy of Josie Ranch Neighborhood Perimeter Walls and Maintenance

Explained the operational and legal differences between mandatory and voluntary HOAs, noting that voluntary associations cannot own common property or get insurance and depend on the city for code enforcement and wall repairs.

Highlighted the modest budget of the voluntary neighborhood association and the recurring problem of cars hitting perimeter walls along Keller Springs.

Described an accident during the ice storm where a car crashed into the brick wall behind her alley, leaving a dangerous gap and debris.

Former councilmember and mayor urged the city to find a solution for neighborhood walls, noting that road widening on Keller Springs created narrow safety buffers.

Expressed safety concerns about dangerous, trash-filled creeks in the city and asked the city not to rely solely on volunteers to clean them up.

Stated that maintaining Keller Springs frontage property would be a financial hardship and that homeowner surveys do not cover the wall area.

President of the Savoy of Josie Ranch Neighborhood Association asked council to help fund wall repairs, noting that two years of discussions with city staff have yielded no solutions.
