Parking Enforcement on Public Roadways
In the annual meeting mailing a ballot will be included for members to cast their vote to authorize the association to continue to enforce street parking on public streets. Legislation requires the association to hold a membership vote to retain this authority. Many of the public roadways within the community were not designed for overnight parking.
A “YES” vote is to have the association retain the authority to continue regulating the use of the public roadways within the Rancho Vistoso.
