2020 February Report by Management Representative

Board of Directors

Sun City Grand Community Association, Inc.

March 9, 2020

Kenneth Olson CMCA, AMS General Manager This report covers the following items:

1. Resident Communication 2. Landscape Maintenance & Inspections 3. Common Area Water Management Report 4. Golf Course Water Management Report 5. MWD Golf Course Water Reconciliation Report 6. Special Projects:

a. Maintained Homes b. Granite Improvements (Trails) c. Report on Congressional Water Summit

RESIDENT COMMUNICATION CAM received 211 workorders in January. All workorders for irrigation leaks or fallen trees get immediate attention. The other work orders are prioritized and scheduled for completion. Our goal is to communicate with residents about their concerns and try to accommodate as many of their requests as possible. There are workorders that we cannot complete without Board approval and that is explained to the resident.

If a work order needs special attention, I will personally visit the resident at their home. In February, I visited 5 properties to speak directly with the resident about their concerns.

It is important that all residents be directed to the SCG website to fill out a work order and submit it from this portal. When a work order is submitted via the website, we can track it and make sure it gets done.

We received a complaint from a resident that a landscaper from Arizona Traditions was trimming trees in our common area. A resident from Arizona Traditions had his landscaper come into our common area and trim four trees that were dropping leaves on his property. If any resident sees someone other than Gothic trimming anything in our common areas, please contact CAM immediately.

LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE Gothic Landscape maintains over 550 acres of landscaping each month. The maintenance of Sun City Grand is divided into several categories. Each of these maintenance categories are then separated into 60 different geographical areas. Each month Gothic provides us a detailed spreadsheet of where their crews will be working.

WEEDS! The recent rains we received has saved the community $1,800 per day in water costs, but now there are an abundance of weeds covering the (569) acres of landscaping in the common areas and on the golf courses. Most of the work orders received in February were about weeds. Gothic has over (40) people working here full time. They normally have (3) fulltime licensed spray technicians just spraying for weeds. That number has been increased to (18).

Gothic had planned to spray a preemergent everywhere, but only got the Maintained Homes done when it began to rain again. Preemergent will stop weeds from growing but won’t kill the existing ones. Gothic will resume spraying the preemergent after they have treated the existing weeds. All the weeds should be treated by Wednesday March 11th, but now more rains are forecasted this week. After this next rain ends, Gothic will once again begin treating the new weeds that pop up and then begin spraying preemergent.

These Spray Techs are spraying the weed killer Diquat and the color of weed killer is blue.

of 22

This Spray Tech below is spraying Preemergent. The color is brown.

Trimming: Trimming crews also removed dead shrubs. Gothic will try to revive a shrub using a product called “Superthrive”. If this doesn’t work within a few weeks they will remove the shrubs.

The Desert Spoon below didn’t make it and is being removed.

of 22

The crew below is working on trimming the lantana.

There are many flower beds throughout the property, and these flowers need “dead-heading” or removal of the dead flowers every month.

of 22

INSPECTIONS: Below are some pictures taken by our inspectors. We take over a hundred pictures a week and share them with Gothic Management. We also take videos of problems for future training purposes.

Below is an inspection photo showing “weeds” that need attention.

We send Gothic emails daily regarding issues that need their attention. We inspect the same areas again after Gothic has told us they have completed the work.

Below is a photo of an area that Gothic has completed.

GOLF COURSE WATER RECONCILIATION REPORT SCG receives its water from Maricopa Water District (MWD). Each month we compare the deliveries to the actual amounts pumped through the system and used for irrigation and filling the lakes. The purpose of this reconciliation is to make sure we received what we are paying for and what MWD reports to ADWR as our usage. February’s pump station readings were a little under the invoiced usage by MWD.

SPECIAL PROJECTS MAINTAINED HOMES: We have begun planting again in the Maintained Homes. We stopped due to the frost. We lost some plants from frost and therefore held off moving forward with planting. The new irrigation system is completed at Tranquil Canyon and the Falls. The pictures below show the trees being removed and stump grinded.

GRANITE IMPROVEMENT FOR THE TRAILS: Beardsley Canal and El Capitan is finished. All the damaged concrete at El Capitan has been replaced.

They have almost completed McMicken Dam. And will be moving on to Calistoga Trail. Below is a picture of the completed installation of granite.

CONGRESSIONAL WATER SUMMIT: The 2020 Congressional Water Summit was sponsored by the Irrigation Association, the National Ground Water Association, and the Water Quality Association. The Irrigation Association was founded in 1949 and is a trade association of about 1800 companies in the agriculture and landscape industries. They have over 10,000 members. The National Ground Water Association, founded in 1948, is composed of United States and international groundwater professionals in four membership divisions: water well contractors, scientists and engineers, manufacturers, and suppliers. The Water Quality Association is the leading voice of the residential, commercial, industrial and small community water treatment industry, representing more than 2,500 manufacturers, suppliers and dealers worldwide. There were two representatives from Arizona, me and Paul Lierheimer, Director of Rain Bird Corporation. Paul and I were an effective team working on the “Hill” together.

The main issues discussed at the Summit were:

1. Aquifer Testing and Managed Recharge

of 22

2. PFAS: New laboratory tests have for the first time found the toxic fluorinated chemicals known as PFAS in the drinking water of dozens of U.S. cities, including major metropolitan areas.

3. WATERSENSE. Funding for Watersense including rebates for the installation of “Smart” Irrigation Controllers.

I met with several members of congress to request they act on the above issues. I explained there are 28 States that use aquifers for their drinking water and only two States know for certain how much water is available in their aquifers. Arizona is not one of them. I emphasized the importance of Federal Testing and Recharging of these aquifers so that states can be assured of a future water supply. Now some of these aquifers have tested positive for toxic chemicals and will need Federal help to remove the toxins.

I told members of the house and senate that Arizona Department of Water Resources was under a mandate to reduce ground water and had already reduced the amount of water that could be used on golf course turf grass. I explained that these reductions were going to adversely harm several communities like Sun City Grand. I explained that Sun City Grand had invested over 1.5 million dollars in the last five years in irrigation technology to reduce their water consumption. Also, that SCG has taken the lead to conserve water, but now the ADWR is mandating more cutbacks that could severely hurt the 300+ golf courses and communities in Arizona. I asked them to come to SCG and see for themselves everything we are doing to conserve water.

Most of my time was spent with the staff of senators and representatives. My hope is that they would use me as a resource knowing I have the Irrigation Association, National Ground Water Association and the Water Quality Association behind me. I have received emails from both House and Senate staffers requesting, I meet with their people in Arizona about ADWR and other water issues.
