Residents of Palermo Palm Springs are confused about which entity controls or maintains all or parts of the undeveloped Phase 2 of our community. The developer Enterprise is in default on its loan and apparently is in talks with MB Financial about a settlement. The matter of maintenance has come into focus in the past week because of two events. The first is that the part of the green construction fencing has been vandalized with graffiti. (See the top picture.) It is unfortunate that the victim of this crime is the one responsible for cleaning it up, but that is the case, so who will do it and when? The second event has been the coming and going of a larger truck and a pick-up truck with a tank type of trailer. Some the activity according to reader comments here possibly could involve taking water. (See the reader comments under the Dec. 15 posting involving the heating of the swimming pools.) It has been stated in the past that all of Palermo's water is paid for by the HOA. This question needs answering so the matter can be put to rest. What Positively Palermo finds noteworthy is where some of the trucks are going. They seem be ending up at Murano Palm Springs as part of a dust-control operation under the direction of a local representative of the developer. (See the second picture above of the trucks at Murano.) Murano is an uncompleted single-family home subdivision built by the same developer as Palermo. One notion is that the activity between the two sites may suggest that the developer will be back with ownership despite the loan default. Miss Penny Lane says: She weeps when she sees the graffiti marring our lovely Palermo, so much so that her tears could fill those tanks.

Where's our board of directors?
Does the City of Palm Springs have a graffiti hotline? They did elsewhere I lived. We have to get this stuff stopped immediately or it just proliferates and gets worse. Michael Heath of Village Property Management says he's in charge of the 34 Enterprise rental units, and so is that the case about the vacant lot with the fence? Please take care of this, whomever is in charge because it brings us all down. Perhaps he can explain the trucks and any water usage. Thanks in advance. Thanks everyone for caring.
Hello everyone, this is Perry. As you all know I was starting the Neighborhood watch program but due to the comming up holiday, the elections and a low responce it kind of took a back seat. I would be willing to help with a clean up team if we can get some volenteers. They maybe able to deface property but our resolve should go on. AS far as the water is concerned, I will help look at what is going on since I am the one pushing for the NWP I should be the most active. Anyone willing to help on either front please email me at pstamas@live.com I darn sure can't do this by my self I will need some help.
Perry thanks. It would be nice to have some of the issues above resolved. People I talk to here are indeed confused about what is going on back there and the water, etc., and most people wold just like to have it all cleared up so it's not unsettled and people are wondering what is happening, and who owns what and who pays for what, and all that. Happy Holidays everyone - we love it here too!!!!!
The city of Palm Springs does have a grafitti removal program. just call and leave a message and they will get it taken care of. try city hall for the correct number
Regarding the trucks, one question is the use of water since the HOA board has discussed suing Enterprise over utilities and other things that the homeowners may have paid for but weren't supposed to have. A lawyer came to one of the HOA meetings to talk about these things.
Is it just me or did the rain dull down the tagging just a bit?
The rains did tone the graffiti down but it IS STILL there. Is MB Financial or Village Property Management responsible for the clean-up?
