I thank the 34 units in attendance. I hope to meet and see many more in the future.

General Summary

ROC NW Process Overview

Timeline of Events:

May 3: ROC NW listed Alonda Villa as Not Feasible and Canyon Terrace (our sister park) as Offer Accepted.
May 8–12: Both parks moved into the Active Discussions stage.
May 13: Both reverted back to Not Feasible.

Committee Efforts (May 5–9)

During this time, the committee worked extensively to understand:

Why Alonda Villa was marked “Not Feasible” while Canyon Terrace was “Offer Accepted.”
What issues or factors caused our project to be considered not feasible.

This involved numerous calls, emails, and meetings—but we received minimal response.
Only a brief one-paragraph email was received from Greyson Cooper (ROC NW) explaining that the feasibility decision had been made by other staff while he was on vacation.

Communication Challenges

ROC NW lists only a P.O. Box—no physical address.
All calls are answered by “John,” who promises a callback, but no one calls back.
Emails go unanswered.

Political Outreach

Out of frustration, we contacted state and local politicians before May 8.
Only one reply was received, referring us back to the same ROC NW resources—resources that loop back to ROC NW itself.

Insights from Other Parks

After discussions with residents of other parks (including Canyon Terrace), we learned:

ROC NW is a closed process.
Their client is the State of Washington and its counties, not individual parks.
They will proceed with their own evaluations regardless of direct resident contact.
Their mission is to preserve affordable housing within budget constraints.
No details of negotiations, property valuations, or feasibility findings are shared with communities due to liability restrictions.

Committee Action Plan

Do not rely solely on ROC NW.
Continue contacting elected officials to advocate for us.
- Politician names and contact info are posted on the community board.
Determine true market value:
- Contact the Assessor’s Office and review available appraisals.
Seek alternative funding sources or negotiate with Joe (property owner) for a lower price.
Find legal counsel (pro bono if possible) to clarify legal requirements and our rights.

Determining Market Value

We believe Joe (owner) did not obtain an independent appraisal.
It remains unclear how he set his price for either park.

Current County Tax Assessment:

Property Component	Value	Description
Land	$8,571,700	23.76 acres
Buildings	$4,198,000	Mobile Home Park (1969) – 129 parcelsClubhouse (1960) – 3,476 sq. ft.Garage (1975) – 660 sq. ft.Storage Shed (1980) – 5,541 sq. ft.Asphalt Paving (1969) – 120,000 sq. ft.

Note: Alonda Villa does not have a 5,541 sq. ft. structure. The committee will contact the Assessor’s Office for clarification.

Facts Established

According to Ryan Erickson (Joe Hammond’s representative),
Joe has no other buyers and intends to sell only to us.
ROC NW remains a closed process.
If deemed “Not Feasible,” we will receive no additional details until re-evaluated after any price reduction.
Timeline (RCW 59.20.325):
- Unclear current position in the 70-day process.
- Seeking pro bono legal advice for clarification.
Legal obligations under RCW 59.20.325:
- Also under review with legal assistance.
