163 [2007/08/22]Board Retreat and Workshop: August 9, 2007
Annually the SCHH Board of Directors holds a retreat at which they determine the goals and objectives for the coming year. This year it was held on August 9th. This was intentionally earlier then most prior years to allow the goals and objectives to be reflected in the budget planning process.
Forty-five objectives or sub-objectives were developed to address the six goals of:
-
Improve the Board’s ability to oversee financial operations, communicate the financial condition to the community, and prepare the community for financial independence by developing policies, planning processes and models, operating procedures and relevant reports.
-
Maintain and improve the necessary models, systems, and procedures to assure sustainable financial performance and security for golf operations up to and beyond transition.
-
Enhance community governance by strengthening the systems, procedures and organizations that support it.
-
Improve Board communication by expanding communication venues, embracing technological advances, more fully integrating resident input into Board initiatives, and by continuously improving current communication’s vehicles.
-
Preserve, protect and enhance the active adult community lifestyle.
-
Develop and implement strategic initiatives for the community that assure its long-term success.
The 2008 goals and objectives will be presented to the community at the annual meeting on November 16.
Following the development of the Goals and objectives, the Board addressed a number of other items.
Cisco Garcia updated the Board on the work planned to address the concern with the Hidden Cypress 17th hole embankment. Bids are being received by the developer to add tiebacks to the wall. Work is expected to begin this Fall.
Dave Meseroll, the Executive Director was asked to investigate the opportunities offered by having a single trash service for the entire community. Cisco Garcia will assist in the initial research.
On the recommendation of the Property & Grounds Committee and the Modifications Committee, a resolution will be developed regarding the replacement of “street trees”. This resolution will be brought to the October Board of Directors meeting.
The developer has suggested that the Community Association accept responsibility for the Riverbend Architectural Review Board (ARB). Dave Meseroll was asked to evaluate the costs and liabilities associated with assuming this responsibility.
The concerns raised by the Public Safety Committee regarding the traffic implications at the new Route 170 gate were presented to the Board. Cisco Garcia, the developer Board member, informed the Board that no changes were planned.
Cisco Garcia updated the Board on the status of the Sun City Blvd. repair work. This expected to be completed in September and the top layer of paving will be laid through Aster Fields by the end of September.
The question of obtaining additional property for currently unplanned, additional amenities was discussed. This will be further investigated.
Dave Meseroll updated the Board on the status of our intent to acquire a line of credit for the Community Association. The requirement for the line of credit is to cover Community Association expenses in case of a natural disaster. These expenses could include such items as covering the storm insurance deductible and debris removal.
Alternatives were discussed to address the shortage of parking space for the Riverbend Lodge and pool.
A resolution will be developed to enforce correcting the problem of modification projects exceeding the 120-day approval. The resolution will be presented at the October Board meeting and the 2008 fee schedule will then be updated.
