4 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | JULY 2017 | GM Report By Christopher Mitchell, General Manager Member Questions from previous meeting: Q: A member had a statement on a Facebook poll they conducted on a project. They provided the Board with the results. Lastly the member asked how a vote would occur, as they felt Facebook was not a good vehicle for this. A: There are several vehicles that a member can use to offer an opinion on a topic. One is the Board meeting under a member's comments. This is a great opportunity to address the Board directly. Another is through email communications to the Board. The Board's email addresses are located on the Sun Lakes website under the "Board Members" tab. A good example of when these communication vehicles have been utilized were during times when there are proposed rules that are under consideration by the Board. The public is allowed to voice their comments by contacting the Board or Management. The Board then takes the comments under consideration when they prepare to vote on the Rule Change. Q: Next, a member brought a concern that there is not an automatic door for disabled people at the South Club House. A: I would like to thank the member for the comment. This is something that needs to be addressed. Staff will be discussing this issue with the Board. The Board will provide direction on actions to be taken. Q: Lastly, a member is concerned with the changing of the restroom signage on the Golf Course. A: Staff determined that the restrooms on the golf course did not require a signage change. After advising the Board, staff placed the original signage back.
