COVID-19 Community Update

Our top priority is to keep our community safe and healthy. We've been closely monitoring the recommendations and actions taken to help decrease the potential spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the state of Arizona.  After careful consideration and much discussion between the Board of Directors and the Association management team, The Tortosa Homeowners Association will be working remotely effective immediately for the next two weeks. Tortosa residents will still be able to contact the management office via email and phone. Voice messages will be checked periodically throughout the day (520)-423-9706. Staff emails: Christy Hashisaki, Community Manager: chashisaki@ccmcnet.com Lucia Rodriguez, Administrative Coordinator: lrodriguez@ccmcnet.com Shana Smith, Covenants Coordinator: ssmith@ccmcnet.com Christine Garcia, Lifestyle Director: cgarcia@ccmcnet.com Association dues can still be made via online or dropped off at the dropbox located at the association office, 36340 W. Picasso Street. This disruption is extremely disappointing to our residents and staff, so your continued patience and cooperation are greatly appreciated.
