New Podcast: An Interview with Brown Community Management
Last week we got to sit down with Bob Brown, Jonathan Brown, and Tim Macica from Brown Community Management (BCM) to record a new podcast. BCM is the new community management company for Lyon’s Gate. They assumed that role on November 1st, 2020, following the sudden resignation of our previous management company. This conversation took place on Wednesday, January 13th at BCM’s offices in Mesa.
This interview contains important information for the residents of Lyon’s Gate and it’s a good opportunity to get acquainted with BCM and learn more about them and what their partnership with the Lyon’s Gate Community means for all of us.

HOA News Portal Migration Postponed
Hello Lyon’s Gate. The migration of HOA News to the resident portal as previously mentioned, has been postponed. That means that HOA News, here on the Lyon’s Gate website is remaining fully functional and those subscribed here will continue to receive updates via email as news related to the HOA is posted here.
If you haven’t already subscribed to HOA News, use the email subscription form. If you’re viewing this post in a web browser, the form is to the right in the sidebar. If you’re on a mobile device, the subscription form is near the bottom of the screen. If you received this via email, you’re already subscribed. Thank you for your patience as we move forward.
HOA News Is Moving To The Resident Portal
NOTICE: The migration of HOA News to the resident portal has been postponed indefinitely. Read more [HERE]
Hello Lyon’s Gate and Happy New Year! Now that Brown Community Management is firmly in place here at Lyon’s Gate, future HOA News posts that would previously have been posted here, will now be posted on the Lyon’s Gate Resident Portal only. During the transition to Brown Management, information to residents has been conveyed by both the new Resident Portal (which includes email notifications) and here, via HOA News, resulting in duplication of emails to residents. This was done intentionally to ensure information was communicated to residents without interruption during the transition.
Now that Brown Community Management is established in Lyon’s Gate and doing such a good job of communicating with us, it’s no longer necessary to post news and event items in both locations. Moving to the Resident Portal exclusively will eliminate duplicate postings at separate locations as well as duplicate email notifications being sent to residents with each new post. It will also give us one location for reading and reviewing HOA news and events.
If you need assistance in accessing the Resident Portal, Marlen will be happy to help you. She can be reached during normal business hours via email at marlen.rasmussen@brownmanagement.com or by phone at 480-339-8832.

The Association has 1936 members. According to the Association Bylaws, 10% of those eligible to vote constitutes a quorum in order for the meeting to be held. Therefore, 194 Homeowners (if all 1936 members are in good standing) must be represented, in person or by absentee ballot, at this Annual Meeting in order for it to be officially recognized. So, if you are unable to attend the meeting please return your signed absentee ballot (linked below) to one of the addresses (physical or email ) noted on the ballot to be used for quorum. You may even consider snapping an image of it with your phone or tablet and sending it via email. It’s very easy and as long as it is legible and a clear image, we can use it and make it count.
Let’s Do a Raffle
The Association will be starting a series of raffles soon to help generate some excitement and competition on who can get their ballots into the Association first. You can expect more information to come your way soon. In the meantime, let’s start with this….
