FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JULY 2023 5 Message From The Board Summer is in full swing and our community is in full bloom as well. Please get out and check out the amazing community we all call home. In addition to the beauty, there are so many events throughout the summer. Please check your Daily Report/Activities Blast so you don't miss anything. If you are not already signed up to receive the Daily Report/Activities Blast, visit the Four Seasons website, or contact the management office. Speaking of keeping in the know, do you remember the survey we took last year? Well, the committees and the Board of Directors listened to you and have been working to address some of your suggestions. We received suggestions for safety and facility use. Here is the update of what we have been working on: 1. Amphitheater – expansion is complete and we now have capacity for nearly 500. As a safety precaution, we did have the Fire Marshall inspect the area to clear it for use, so please come out and enjoy our summer concert series! 2. Amphitheater – rails were installed at the stairs for safer access when arriving and leaving 3. Amphitheater – request for a dance floor. We looked at this and determined there was not enough room to safely install a dance floor, however, we have added five dances this year to the Loggia area where everyone can spread out and dance the night away! 4. Golf cart parking at The Lodge – several parking spaces were restriped to enable use by one car or two golf carts. We were able to accomplish this without losing any spaces by simply utilizing the space we already have. This is a win win! 5. Solar – we are currently working to install solar under a power purchase agreement (PPA) at all three of our facilities. This will ensure we can better budget power usage in years to come by knowing what to expect in terms of rate increases over the next 20 years 6. Ballroom sound – we are currently working on a trial to enable residents to listen to events in the Ballroom via their own Bluetooth headsets by downloading an app to their smart phone. Boy, are we moving into the future! 7. Update Lodge – seating area by the fireplace was updated with new furniture and rugs and a new color scheme 8. Game Room chairs – new chairs were ordered and placed in the room with casters for ease of use 9. Movie Theater – all chairs were restuffed and recovered with leather to make it a more comfortable experience while enjoying the many movies shown each week 10. Access to the pool, salon, and RCN areas via the locked gates - while we did explore this suggestion, we determined it would pose several safety concerns. However, we are trying trial access to the RCN for card games only, whereby FirstService staff will open the gate, lock it, and reopen it for exit. This is being done in a controlled environment, and we will continue to look at other gate access to our facilities in the future 11. Resolve issues with builder – while we can't comment too much on this issue due to current litigation, on June 5 the Board President, Vice President and CFO attended a mediation meeting in San Diego. At this point there was no resolution with a court date set for July. 12. Music at the courts pool – speakers have been installed and you can now enjoy a variety of SiriusXM music stations These are just a few of the suggestions we received and our hard- working committees will continue to explore many more. We will keep you posted throughout the year as we continue to make Four Seasons Beaumont the best and most beautiful community to live in. The Board of Directors board meeting is held the second Thursday of each month at 1 pm in the Ballroom. Per civil code, we are unable to engage in conversation in this setting; however, if you would like to meet with Board members in an environment where dialog is allowed, our monthly Meet with the Board takes place the third Wednesday of each month in the Ballroom at 2 pm. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at kathycravenbod@yahoo.com or at (714) 722-1301. By Kathy Craven, Board Vice-President
