May 30th Board Agenda – Things to watch.

(First names are used for purposes of brevity)

Four big items are not on the agenda – the Five-Year plan, Mountainview, the Thunderbird Property and the Library leases. These will likely be covered in Matthew, Kat, Tom, or Preston’s LRP report.

Motions

Insurance (Tom) – Accept the committee’s recommendation to continue coverage at increased rates and decline terrorist insurance. (Costs are going up folks)

Election (Karen) – Common sense motion to make the election process a little more friendly.

Golf (Preston) – Motion to assure gender equality on the greens committee.

PIF (Jim) – Motion to stop flippers from gaming the system and to allow widowers and widows not on title who inherit house to live in the home without paying a PIF.

New

Golf (Preston) – Approve (PIF Funds) +/- 350k for design work for turf reduction on South Golf Course. This work was anticipated in the old PIF schedule for 2025.

Golf (Preston) – Approve (PIF funds) +/- $6M to start the Quail Run Golf course renovation project. With very limited exception this motion is but an acceleration of items planned to meet regulatory requirements of ADWR.

Membership Privileges (Jim) – Motion appears to be directed at folks that buy property, rent it out and then ask for membership cards as if they occupy the property. Probably not a big financial issue but certainly has a big equity component.

Records (Jim) – Prior approval required to take copies (by camera) of corporate records. Sorry, but this one rubs me the wrong way – Transparency if approved by the censors… This is a huge step backwards!

Overall, the meeting appears to be routine business and much of what is really happening behind the scenes (the PIF budget) is either not being discussed or (I hope) is being put into slow motion until the new board comes in and an expert is engaged.

Hope this helps.

Regarding the attempts to squash flippers from purchasing properties in SC, I was just pondering..... would we still have the 1,500 - 2,000 homes turnover (be sold) every year if flippers don't remodel them? Could that backfire for the coffers of RCSC?

Jean Totten as One Day at a Time

 

I pondered the same thing and wondered how much a flipper uses RCSC facilities. Probably very little. Intuitively, I would think flippers are not interested in using the facilities but use the existence of the facilities as a marketing tool to make a profit on the home. So, this may be a case of cutting off your nose to spite your face but won't likely be a huge deal financially.

 

Attendance may be ultra-light with no hot topic motions, many residents already escaping our sizzling summer and recent mixed messaging as to whether or not this board meeting is scheduled!!
Sun City AZ e/blast incorrectly said NO!

 

Ooops happen in our communication...

 

oops—- where did that $3,000,000 go?

 

Oops - don't know do you?

 

I was just trying to highlight how important communication and transparency are in getting timely, correct information to the members. Even a major mistake might go unnoticed. Thanks for your efforts John! And no I don’t believe $3,000,000 was lost or stolen.

 

But perhaps half of that went to the dog training facilities?

 

Does anyone keep a record of attendance at these meetings? I know the Library meeting was jammed, as it should have been. Is there a sign in sheet? Just curious.

 

I believe the RCSC knows. Typically there's an employee sitting just inside the auditorium, at Sun Dial, with a hand held clicker counting those entering the room.

 

Thx

ALL head counts (Board meetings, Exchanges, and any meeting where there is expected to be attendance) should be done ELECTRONICALLY (Techonology).
Can someone (anyone) explain how flippers are gaming the system? Who cares if they use the facilities (how many months do they spend here is Sun City
renovating/remodeling a home). The big question is are they paying the PIF?

 

Even a sign in sheet including member number which could be manually entered later would be better than a visual. Chris so glad you are following Dave's request on font size.

 

Here is the information re: the Technology Committee. I've also added the Outreach & Communication Committee because they are also looking for volunteers.
