The Woodland Valley Ranch Property Owners Association has posted notice that its Board of Directors will hold a public meeting on Saturday, November 8, 2025 at 10:30 a.m. The session will take place in the St. Johns Public Library community room, and property owners may request Zoom credentials by emailing the board before Nov. 7. The POA notice outlines an agenda that includes administrative items, a financial update, a road report, well status and an open question and answer period for property owners.
Woodland Valley Ranch is a private road community located north of St. Johns along Highway 191. Though roads inside the community are privately maintained, residents rely on Apache County services for 911 addressing, coordination with county road maintenance when needed and emergency response. The POA notice explicitly references the Apache County 911 application form and provides the County Annex address and phone for 911 related services. The POA page also provides contact details for the board.
The meeting offers local residents an opportunity to seek clarity on practical issues that affect safety and daily life. Road maintenance on private roads influences access for emergency vehicles, school transportation and delivery services. Updates on well status are particularly consequential for remote households that depend on individual wells for drinking water and firefighting access. The financial update will shed light on the association's capacity to fund road repairs and water infrastructure work, and the open question and answer period gives property owners a forum to raise concerns and request specific follow up.
For Apache County residents the agenda items underscore the intersection of private governance and public services. 911 addressing is administered through county procedures, and accurate addresses are essential for timely emergency response in rural areas. Coordination between the POA and county offices therefore affects how quickly first responders locate residents during an emergency. Residents who have not yet completed the county 911 address application were reminded by the POA to use the county form and contact the County Annex for assistance.
The POA meeting is part of routine governance for Woodland Valley Ranch, but its timing and topics are notable given ongoing challenges facing remote communities across the county. Property owners seeking to participate should email the POA for Zoom access before Nov. 7 or attend in person at the library community room. The association page contains the published agenda and board contact information for follow up on specific concerns. End of meeting outcomes could influence upcoming work plans, budget priorities and coordination with county services that directly affect safety and service delivery for residents in the area.
