Homeowner’s discussions:
• Use of the easement areas: bag toss and other uses
• Handicapped parking is at the Office only
* Additional landscaping to be added to the entrance
* Finish plumbing issues discovered in January
* Lower storage area walls will be built up. (as the hillside is sliding)
* Ongoing dog waste stations and ashtrays
* HOA Monthly Dues Raise: We have raised the HOA payments to 209.00 per month, which can be paid annually or monthly. RVB has been fortunate for the past 6 years to not have had an HOA raise, but this was necessary. We have incurred a lot of expenses over the past years due to the age of the condos, Including, water damage, Building upgrades and property damage, the majority of this is from people flushing no disposals items down the toilet and garbage disposal that created flooding in other units.
* Storage Lot
Starting in March, any vehicle, any trailer or vehicle that has not been moved or showed signs of use within 4 months, will be charged a $60 fee. This area is a short-term use storage.
* All vehicles on premises, including the storage site must have current tags, and registration displayed.
• Fire place use: Terry said everyone can use their fireplace, and to be sure that the chimney and Dryer vents have been cleaned.
* Discussed the development on Merrill Ave and Highway 95, this is a city project, there is nothing we can do to stop this other than attend Council meeting to discuss. Hopefully an addition of a traffic light is in their plans.

2024 President’s Message - Terry Work President Riverview Bluffs HOA

Happy New Year, Thank you all for attending.

I would like to introduce Faith Work our new office Manager Faith Work, Faith is also an owner here at Riverview and has a background in Mortgage lending here in Arizona and California. She is in the office Monday through Friday 8 am to 12pm. I also want to thank Helen Nagjin for all here work over the year and we all wish her a great and enjoyable retirement.

 I want to thank our office staff Faith Work and Gary Batson for all that they do keeping everything up and running here at Riverview Bluffs.

2023 Has been an active year for all of us at the Bluffs, from changing our Landscaping service to Painting the trim on our buildings. And as you know we did have to increase the HOA dues, we held off on this for many years, but after 3 years of major issues it was time, we worked to keep it low and we still are the lowest of most of the major condos in the area.

As we have had in the past we have had drain issues, and I want to remind everyone that the only this that should go down a toilet is human waste and toilet paper, no other paper products this includes wipes, and Kleenex!  Please do not put grease or items like Rice or Spaghetti down your garbage disposal as it will cause a clog in our sewer system. If you need more information please go to the Bullhead City web page and scroll to the bottom of the page for the TV link. This is also handy for updates in the city.

If you notice a leak or standing water please report it to the office ASAP! And if you have renter tell them the same as we have had tenants not reporting leaks causing a mold issue.

I hope that you have noticed the orange tubes in the easement areas behind the complex, this are the TWN Fiber Optic install that will allow us to have the option of TWN or Optimum for your internet carrier.

If leaving a vehicle onsite for any length of time please be sure that the registration is current that the vehicle is clean and tires inflated. If you have any concerns about your vehicle please contact the office.

Remember when leaving your unit unoccupied for more than 2 days to be sure to turn off your water heater, the Water (at the outside valve), and during the summer that AC be set for 80 – 90. If turning off all power to your unit (and only your unit) to empty your refrigerator.

Old Business Agenda:

• TWN Fiber Optic installation will be completed in early 2024.
• Skylight repairs and Roofing tiles replaced. We now have a supply of replacement tiles on site to be used as needed.
• Sewer repairs,  this will be a yearly service of having all the building cleanout drains snaked and cleared, in an effort to stop clogged line (we ask your help in this)
• Plumbing and building repairs done on several buildings due to pipe leakage, all piping in question has been replaced and upgraded.
• Lower storage lot soil has been reorganized for better use of the lot, all vehicles and trailers must have current registration and if left in place for more that 4 to 6 months there will be a monthly storage charge. This area has also been checked and cleared of insects.
• Widening of walkways along with adding crushed granite.
• Yellow safety painting on stairwells and walkways for safety with increased lighting.
• Routine landscaping, we have changed Landscaper due to service issues, the new Landscaper will be onsite 2 times a week. Pool Service has remained the same with the installation of a new Spa Hear and the main Pool heater being repaired.
• Lighting along the entrance driveway the dog run and easements has been improved
• Hour to the Clubhouse have been expanded for HOA use, the new hours are Monday, Weds day and Friday 8 am to 6 pm.
• Clubhouse events – in 2023 we have had several events and party’s ranging from Halloween Costume party, Christmas Party, Bingo Night and a wedding! We look forward to more in 2024. Reminder that we now have Fire pits located around the complex.

New Business Upcoming in 2024:

• Additional landscaping to be added to the entrance.
• Completion of plumbing issues discovered in January.
• Lower storage area walls will be built up. (As the hillside is sliding).
• Ongoing Dog Waste stations & ashtrays – Ideas for improvement?

As always, we would like to hear your thoughts on how we have been doing, and what improvements you would like to see. Please feel free to contact any of the Board with your concerns.

President's Message and Annual Members Meeting January 2023

2023 President’s Message - Terry Work President Riverview Bluffs HOA

Happy New Year, Thank you all for attending.

I want to thank our office staff (Helen and Gary) for all that they have done. The 2022 BOD for their support for all that we have done here at the complex in 2022. As you may have noticed this has been a very active year here in the complex, we hope that you have noticed some of the repairs and improvements around the complex.

But some of our repairs could have been avoided if all of us had taken the following steps:

• Only put Toilet paper down your toilet!
• Do not put any Paper, or cleaning wipes
• Do not flush gauge or bandages into the toilet
• Please do not put grease of any kind or food Items down the drain. (see the Bullhead City webpage for a video)

It has been found that most of the sewer issues that occurred in the complex was due to the pipes being clogged with foreign material. If a unit is found the cause of such an issue they will be responsible for the costs for repairs (we suggest that everyone get a home owners warranty). Please think before disposing of waste.

Remember that when leaving your unit unoccupied for any amount of time beyond 2 days to be sure to turn off your water heater, and close your Water Valve (at the outside valve), turning off all power to your unit (and only your unit) that your refrigerator is clean and empty. Please always verify that your unit and vehicles are locked.

Please do not feed the coyotes, even though they will avoid humans they still may go after small animals. If they are fed they will become too relaxed around humans, remember that they are wild animals.

Please use the dog run or walking areas and please cleanup after your dogs with the supplied plastic bags.

If you see a stranger in the complex ASK who they are and if they are a resident here, if they are not an owner or tenant let us or better yet contact the police, the same goes for if you haven’t seen a neighbor for a while.

If there is a disturbance in the complex please contact the police, as members of the HOA are not trained or equipped for this.

Here are our accomplishments in 2022:

• Riverview Bluffs Main sign repainted and plants added to entrance.
• More sewage repairs done to buildings due to clogged lines.
• Structure repairs to Northside of  building 4
• Rerouting of irrigation lines in the complex.
• Landscaping in complex (Ongoing)
• Upgrading the software and database for the security system.
• New PC and monitor for the office.
• Upgrade gate entry installation of user friendly touch screen and upgrade entrance/exit cameras, new motion sensors now at exit gate.
• Addition of Fire pits throughout the complex. (located at the pool, behind Building 12 and building 3&4)
• Addition lighting along walkways and parking areas
• Addition of signage throughout the complex (parking, trash, dogs)
• Structure repairs to the outside of Building 4

Upcoming in 2023:

• Pigeon removal will start again beginning in Feburary.
• Lounge chairs for pool area.
• More lighting in certain areas.
• We will be taking Bids for the next building painting (if needed) and for touchup.
• Lower storage area walls will be built up. (As the hillside is sliding).
• Planned cost for extended storage of vehicles in lower storage area.
• Palm tree removal and replacement
• Ongoing Dog Waste stations & ashtrays – Ideas for improvement?

Finally, that even though we have had many expenses this year we are hoping that there will not be an increase in HOA dues or Garage rentals for 2023 but for this not to happen we need everyone help, we will be reevaluating mid-year HOA costs.

As always, we would like to hear your thoughts on how we have been doing, and what improvements you would like to see. Please feel free to contact any of the Board with your concerns.
