The Sun City Hilton Head Community Association Board of Directors
conducted its first quarterly meeting of 2005 on Thursday, January
27.

A. Resolutions calling for the election
of Neighborhood Committees for three new
neighborhoods--Hummingbird Haven, Oak
Woods and Pine Lakes.

Representatives and Committees in May 2005's
community wide election. The
Committee is composed of the following members:

II. FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
A summary of the two primary financial segments of the Community
Association
follows:
1. The
Homeowners Association segment of the Community Association
produced
an
operating surplus of $163,000 which was favorable to the
budget by $612,000.
This
favorable variance is due primarily to an increase in
assessment revenue from
higher than
planned closings ($110k); developer reimbursement for capital
expenditures
($119k); and lower insurance and tax expense ($148k).
2. Results
from Golf operations were slightly lower than the planned deficit
of
$168,000 by
$11,000. Lower property taxes and other operating expenses
were
offset by lower
than planned revenue from non-resident play. The cash
advance by
the developer was
$48,000, or $15,000 lower than budgeted.
III. EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS REPORT
Community Association Vice President and Executive Director Bob
Mahnke presented his quarterly report to the residents.
The entire report will be available in the Wall Street Room of
Pinckney Hall, but below are some of the highlights:
1. The Sun City ommunity
Association now employs a total of 131 individuals, of which
73 are
full-time and 58 are part-time.
2. In the fourth quarter of 2004,
nearly 5,000 residents participated in seminars,
special events
and community wide club events. Room rental revenue for the
quarter
was just under
$12,000.
3. As of December, SunSations
circulation rose to 4,200 copies.
4. Resident use of the fitness
center for the year was 156,000 visits, with guests
accounting for an
additional 9,000 visits.
5. A new sound system has been
installed in the Fitness Center's aerobics room,
and a new stage
lighting package--purchased by the Theater Club--was installed in
Pinckney Hall.
6. The RV/Boat Storage Facility has
been turned over to the Association.
IV. OLD BUSINESS
Previously appointed to the Association Board by the developer,
Mr. James L. Mauck, Jr. was elected to serve as Board Treasurer.
V. NEW BUSINESS
A. The initial agenda for the meeting included revisions to Sun City's Pool
Policy. Those were predicated on revisions to recommendations
submitted to the Board of Directors by the Fitness Advisory
Committee, following a request from the Fitness Director. The
Board's Workshop earlier in January provided a venue for
further discussions and the development of a proposed Pool Policy
that was made available to the residents via Board Update
#104 and other means including a posting of the proposed Policy at
Pinckney Hall.
Based on feedback from the community regarding specific sections
of the proposed Pool Policy it was removed from the agenda,
although discussion of the issue was permitted.
Those speaking in favor during the discussions, but
with some requests for changes were:
Clint
Young
Dick
Swader
Hugh
Dinwiddie
Those speaking against during discussions were:
Armand Klinger
Bob
Hooper
Toni
Larose-Gerken
Board President Ken Hull announced that further revisions would be
made to the Policy and that once the issues raised in the
discussions were addressed it will be handled in a timely manner
and by Unanimous Written Consent. The community will be
notified of the final Pool Policy at that time.
B. During a Board Retreat held earlier in January, the Board
created a set of Goals and Objectives for 2005, and these were
presented to the community. The setting of Goals and
Objectives is an internal administrative matter and as a result no
formal vote is necessary. An abridged version of the
Goals and Objectives previously were forwarded to the community as
Board Update #105. The full text of the Board's Goals and
Objectives will be available in the Wall Street Room of Pinckney
Hall. The four major sections include details
relevant to the following areas:
FINANCIAL
COMMUNITY
GOVERNANCE
PRESERVATION OF LIFESTYLE
STRATEGIC
PLANNING
Following adjournment the floor was opened to the residents for
further comments and questions.
