C, Beaumont • www.huntresssalon.com Hair Cuts & Design • Hair Coloring • Perms • Weaves • Brazilian Blowouts • Extensions • Manicures & Spa Pedicures • Beauty Makeup • Permanent Cosmetic • Organic Facials Medical Massage Therapy My wife Teri and I have lived in Sun Lakes since October 2005. We think this is the greatest place for active seniors to live. We are active in many clubs and groups, and wish we had the time for more. I have both a BS in Business and an MBA. I have been a small manufacturing business owner (65 employees). I retired from the Federal Government/Dept of Defense, as a financial analyst on multi-million dollar aerospace programs. I taught Small Business Management courses at the Community College level. I have been a district delegate (two years), Finance Advisory Committee (FAC) member (six years) and a Master Board Director (five and a half years/Treasurer three years). Sun Lakes Country Club is a $14 million operation. Our monthly assessments fund the majority of all activities, and we deserve timely and accurate information on how our money is spent. Currently we don't have much visibility into our financial situation. We need to understand Reserve balances, expenditures, percent funded, operational costs, cash flows (ability to pay our bills), and upcoming budget issues. The present Board doesn't discuss major financial issues at the Open Sessions. The reviews are done in executive session which violates our CC&Rs and current law. To make matters worse, the Board has eliminated the Finance Advisory Committee. I recommend reinstating the FAC. The Board will need help for issues like turf remediation funding and costs, up-coming inflation and rising labor costs, and the potential warehouse problems. The FAC would also perform monthly financial statement reviews. I believe the Board should present the financial status at the Open Sessions, and allow resident comments. I would host resident meetings to go over the financial reports. I also feel the Board should aggressively pursue ways to control costs with FSR. We have great amenities, but both the Board and FSR must recognize limitations in raising assessments. I feel that my experience would provide much needed insight into the financial and management situation here at Sun Lakes. I ask for your vote for the Master Board. Thank you! 1049 Oakland Hills Dr. Daniel R. Comerford - Candidate Statement
