ACC INFORMATION
It is with regret that I inform the Kayenta community that Wendy Bradley submitted her resignation from the Kayenta Architecture Control Committee (ACC) effective December 31, 2016. Wendy served as chair of the ACC for the past two years, and co-chair for the years previous. During that time, as the building activity increased, she managed an increase in the number of new construction plan reviews, as well as members’ requests for solar installation, landscape plans and other applications. Under her leadership, the ACC instituted a number of improvements in the application submittal process and new construction review. Kayenta will miss her dedication and management skill.
With Wendy’s impending resignation, I would like to encourage Kayenta residents interested in serving on the ACC or chairing the ACC, to contact me. The Board is seeking individuals that have an interest in the ACC to implement the Kayenta concept as it applies to new construction, remodels, landscaping or other exterior modification to homes. We are seeking an individual with good interpersonal skills, problem-solving capabilities and organizational skills. A background in viewing construction plans is helpful.
If you would like to discuss serving on the ACC please let me know. I can be reached at 435-275-4274 or JeffHartman@gmail.com
The Kayenta ACC meetings are held the third Tuesday of each month, 2:00 pm in the Kayenta Community Room. A hard copy of the agenda is posted in the Kayenta Homes & Properties office the Thursday before the meeting. Questions? Wendy Bradley • Phone: 435-705-4784 • email: wendy.bradley@gmail.com
