| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | APRIL 2016 | 9 From the General Manager Member questions from the February Open Session Board Meeting: 1. A member questioned the availability of the restaurant and lounge consultant's report. The report is available to all members on the Sun Lakes website. Hard copies can be obtained at the Administration Office for a nominal fee. 2. A member commented on the proposed photo speed unit trailer and enforcement policy. The member voiced his concerns and asked that the board review the ASE Handbook. This matter is on the agenda tonight and the board will consider the members concerns. 3. A member expressed her concerns with the frequency of wrought iron painting, schedule for this year. This item is known as a "component" within the reserve study. Due to the expansive length of the wrought iron around Sun Lakes, the community's wrought iron is broken down into a couple smaller projects. Because of this, it can appear that we are repainting wrought iron every year, when in fact we are rotating through the expected life of this component. The association, under the advisement of the reserve analyst, currently repaints the wrought iron every three years. This is the recommended useful life of paint on wrought iron in an outdoor setting. For further information please visit sunlakescc.com, then click on the governing documents, then reserve study. 4. A member commented on the capital allocation for solar and landscape work. This was approved by the board, in open session, and is made a part of the monthly assessment. The member further went on to question a response from a letter and email sent some time ago. The board has received your inquiries and has attempted to answer them in the previously established open workshops on the topic. Please review the recorded meeting for a detailed report. 5. A member commented on the recent reserve activities; specifically what the board can do to have the reserve project be more transparent. The member further commented on the drainage on championship golf course hole number 16. The board conducts the solicitation of bids and proposal review in executive session to discourage unethical bidding by vendors. For further information please visit sunlakescc.com, then click on the governing documents, then reserve study for a list of the components. 6. A member questioned traffic patterns and hazards at the intersection of Ramsey and Sunset. The association has no direct control over this matter. The association encourages you to attend the upcoming city council meeting to express your thoughts and concerns.
