ATTENTION ARTEMINA HOMEOWNERS This year the Board of Directors has decided not to over seed for 2023, seed this year Has increased again and with Arizona having to give up it’s right to the Colorado River the Board of Directors has decided after consulting with the Landscaper and the Town of Gilbert, it would be healthier for the Bermuda and save water. They do realize they didn’t do it last year but decided not to spend $18,234.00 to overseed to let the Bermuda go dormant and by March it will begin to come in thicker and soon like we had it this year. The Board felt they could do more granite replacement and plant replacement with that money. This will mean the lawn areas will stay greener a little longer in the year and in late November or December they will cut it very low and let it come back in the Spring sooner. What this means is, the turf areas will be brown this year, and in the Spring, it will start coming in greener and healthier than previous years. In the Spring, the Bermuda will not be mowed immediately, they will let the sprouts which will naturally have seedlings on them mature then cut it with all the seedlings naturally re-seeding itself into the ground and spread throughout the lawn. They will come in and mow, which will spread all the seedlings throughout the lawn, this will help produce a thicker and healthier lawn in the parks and common areas. With this said, homeowners will be allowed to make their own choice if they want to over-seed this year. So homeowners will benefit from a healthier lawn and save on their water bill as well. Thank you. The Artemina Board of Directors Please see attached document: Top Ten Reasons Why Not to Over Seed

TO ARTEMINA HOMEOWNERS There has been a delay in getting the basketball court completed, due to the rain days and the very cold mornings and days. They could not put the paint down because it would not stick properly to the concrete when the temperatures are that cold. With the weather now warming up, they have begun to catch up on their projects and Artemina could be this week, or early next week to finish up. We apologize for the delay but we want this done correctly so it will last. Thank you for your patience. Kevin Heywood Management

Please see attached from your Board of Directors!  We are excited to see all the Holiday decorations throughout Artemina!

ARTEMINA HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATION  Hello Artemina Residents, There has been a recent increase of “Organized” sports teams using our parks with many participates from outside the community. This needs to stop! Unfortunately, Artemina parks were not made to handle “Organized Sports”, with that said, there is also liability to the Association if someone were to get hurt while on Artemina property. People will sue the association, but also the individual homeowner that allowed that team to practice on Private property. If you are a homeowner and are allowing a team to practice in the parks, this needs to stop, or you will be subject to a fine starting at $100.00. Liability claims will affect all homeowners in Artemina if someone gets hurt in your parks. The Association Insurance Company “will not” cover people that were hurt that are not residents in the community when a Artemina homeowner allowed this to happen. The Board of Directors and the Management Company are here to protect “All” homeowners in Artemina, that is why the “No Trespassing” signs were installed, so the ARS “No Trespassing” statute can be enforced. The parks are for Artemina Residents only with their guests for a party, family gatherings, playdates, etc.   Organized Sports are “NOT” considered guests and will not be accepted as so. Thank you all for your cooperation, not only for the safety of everyone but respecting all the residents that live in Artemina. Sincerely, The Board of Directors and Heywood Management.

Please see attached letter from the Town of Gilbert with regard to overseeding this season. The HOA is not requiring homeowners to overseed, however, you are still required to keep your property maintained and all other foilage manicured. Thank you.  

ATTENTION ARTEMINA HOMEOWNERS   Fall Grass Overseeding Approach A good practice to healthier summer grass is to not overseed every fall, but to allow a year for the summer, Bermuda grass to remain dormant in the winter and by March it will come in thicker and sooner. The winter Rye grass depletes the soil of nutrients, making it harder for the summer Bermuda to regenerate.  The lawn areas will stay greener longer in the year and in late November or December will be cut very low and let it come back in the Spring sooner.  Thus, the turf areas will be brown this year, and in the Spring, start coming in greener and healthier than previous years. In the Spring, the Bermuda will not be mowed immediately, but will sprout with seedlings which naturally reseeds spreading throughout and producing a thicker and healthier lawn in the parks and common areas.  See Waterwise article for a full list of benefits:   https://wateruseitwisely.com/blog/do-you-need-to-overseed-10-reasons-to-skip-that-winter-lawn/ With this said, homeowners will be allowed to do the same and not be required to overseed this year benefiting from a healthier lawn and save on their water bill. Grass Area Reduction We will also selectively begin to convert several strategic grass areas to rock.  These are areas where the Bermuda struggles (under trees) and steep ditches (water run off).   As you may have seen in the news, the impact of AZ water reductions will only drive up the cost of water over the coming years - some cities have already taken a “Drought One” action. Thank you for your understanding.  The Artemina Board of Directors
