6 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | SEPTEMBER 2018 | GM Report By Christopher Mitchell Member Questions from previous meeting: Q: A member inquired about the calendar in the Lifestyles Magazine being incorrect and suggested utilizing the cable TV channel to keep people updated. A: At this time, due to the publishing schedule of the Lifestyles, dates and information may change. We will look at ways to utilize the TV channel. But even that may be an issue as the information is on a loop and may be missed by someone watching. Lastly, we will also be investigating options for utilizing social media to assist with updates. Q: A Member inquired about the recent activity on the golf course with drawing lines and placing markers in the turf. A: The activity was done to measure areas within the golf course that had been identified in 2015 Golf Course Turf reduction plan. The measurements were needed in order to procure proposals from vendors. The proposed project is on tonight's Board Action Item agenda. Turf reduction has been discussed back to 2014; there have been several projects since 2016 that have been discussed: • 2018 – Lake on Executive Course Hole #12. (completed) • 2018- Championship Course Holes 14,15, & 16 drainage, irrigation, & cart path project (ongoing) • 2017- Championship Course Holes 9, 10 & driving range turf reduction. (canceled due to cost) The championship course turf reduction plan was developed during 2014/2015; this included development of plans for turf area to remove, irrigation replacement, and plant palette. During 2017, the Board displayed the concept boards during their open session board meetings. Q: A member inquired about the gazebo that used to be by the Main Clubhouse pool. Could it be replaced? A: The gazebo was removed last year. At this time there are no plans to have it replaced. Q: A member inquired about why the Association is locking the public restrooms when we have Securitas. A: Though we have two patrol vehicles, Securitas cannot be everywhere at one time. By locking the restrooms, we remove one of the incentives that has been attracting trespassers on the North Side. Q: A Member had several questions related to Rule Change #18-05. They are: a. Who developed the Rule Change #18-05? A: The Board developed the Rule Change proposal. b. If it was the Master Board, why was the Safety & Security Advisory Committee excluded? A: I'm not sure they have been excluded, but the rule change was led by the Board of Directors based on member input to them. c. Is the Master Board open to conducting a residential survey to confirm and/or refine needed changes to the Rule Change? A: That would be up to the Board to decide.
