May signals the annualexodus of our neighborsheaded for cooler climesand visits with kids and grandchildren. May-June also marks the timeto form a new Govern-ing Board. The transi-tion period for the Board starts in March with the elec-tion of three new Directors.This year, Marion Mosley,

Nolan Reed and David Wilsonwill take the Oath of Office

and join their colleagues on theBoard starting July 1st. At thattime, three of us - Lake West-

phal, Pat Canfield and I - willtake our leave. So beforeeveryone becomes too en-

grossed in making sum-mer plans, I would liketo spend a few minutesreflecting on the lastthree years.

While there are a number of possible impor-tant discussion points,the election will un-

doubtedly be remembered asthe critical event in our history.So let’s look at what made theelection significant and the les-sons that we can we take away

from it to help our Association benefit from the experience.

Many of those who took partin the election point to the factthat it was a community-wideeffort that engaged owner

members in working togoals for the commonthe community. Whwere differing views rwhat those goals shoul

President reflects on election’s lesso

Bylaw changes fail in landmark electAlthough most everyone in

the community has alreadyheard the news, we are pub-lishing the results of the com-munity’s landmark election

because the Rec Center Newsis our official publication.

So, for posterity’s sake:The three proposed Bylaw

amendments that would havefundamentally changed SunCity West were roundly de-feated in the March 27 electionthat drew more voters than anyin the community’s 33-year history.

“This is a great day for SunCity West, and we want tothank each of our memberswho voted and assured our community of a bright future,”

said General Manager MikeWhiting. “The overwhelmingturnout and the failure of thesemisguided changes indicateour residents support the way

we’ve been operating for 33years, and they want to pre-serve this community the wayit is.”

With 15,522 total votes cast,the first Bylaw, regarding a 2

percent cap on dues, wentdown 12,424 to 2,946. Thesecond, regarding the three di-visions being self-supporting,was defeated 13,351 to 2,023.The third, regarding capital ex-

penditures over $100,000,failed 12,869 to 2,601.

Governing Board PresidentDave Moeller stated, “Our res-

idents don’t want a what-you-use systemsults are confirmationare a community foadults who support so

for everyone. Where you find a community chartered clubs, sevcourses, a private librlane bowling center anless other amenities wfee gives you accessabout everything yowant?”

Marion Mosley (12,428 votes), NolanReed (12,418) and David Wilson(11,675). Chuck Reott with 3,769 votesand Ernie Prindle with 2,343 votes wereunsuccessful in gaining a seat on theBoard. The three newcomers will re-

place outgoing Directors Dave Moeller,Pat Canfield and Lake Westphal.

Had the proposed Bylaw amend-ments passed, they would have resulted in monumental changes to the Associa-tion’s structure and operations. Onechange would have required the Recre-ation, Golf and Bowling Divisions to beself-supporting. That would have meantup to $1 million in cuts from golf, and

– depending on a legal interpretation – up to $5.8 million in cuts from theRecreation Division.

The legal interpretation regardingRecreation would have been required

because the failed Bylaw language re-quired all direct operational and main-tenance costs of each division to be

covered by operating revenues. Al-though Recreation uses membershipdues to operate clubs and facilities,those dues are not generated by that di-vision. Rather, dues are generated through a Facilities Use Agreement thatall members sign when they move intothe community. Dues are currently$370 per member, per year, and provideaccess to all the amenities and clubs.Only golf and bowling, due to their higher costs of operations, require extrafees.

One of the other changes votersturned down was a requirement that an-nual dues increases be limited to nomore than the Social Security increasefrom the preceding year, plus 2 percent,not to exceed 8 percent greater than the

preceding fiscal year.“In the last couple of years, we’ve

held our dues increases to 5.3 percentor lower, and we’re planning no morethan a 5 percent increase next year, sowe didn’t see this as a major stumbling

block right now,” said Whiting. “How-

ever, it could have had profound effectsin the future because the Social Securityindex does not take our local needs intoaccount. We’re already fiscally conser-vative, but this provision would havetied our hands with an artificial ceilingthat doesn’t look at the age of our facil-ities, nor the needs and wants of our members.”

The final provision that failed Tues-day would have required the GoverningBoard to seek membership approval on

any capital improvement$100,000 that change or modifity.

“We welcome, encourage vide for public input on our capects,” said Whiting. “The GoBoard votes on these projects session, and the Board represmembers. In addition, all of thects are discussed multiple

public sessions, with frequent nity for public input.”


bers to be actively involved inand informed about the issuesaffecting the Association. If this level of participation con-tinues on a monthly basisrather than occurring just oncea year, this election will truly

be a significant event in thehistory of our community.

Another benefit gained fromthis election was the opportu-nity to apply lessons learned toimprove understanding withinthe community.

This election provided nu-merous insights, so let’s focuson just one of the issues

brought up during the election:communications. There wasagreement from all perspec-tives regarding the importanceof good communications, how-ever, many of our members

pointed out that they thoughtthat the Staff and Board could do a lot more to keep members

informed. Another view held that the information was avail-able, but members did not takethe time to access it. Both per-spectives proved to be partiallyaccurate.

The fact is, the Association puts out tons of informationthrough news releases,monthly and weekly meetingagendas and minutes, the RecCenter News, RCSCW Web-site, E-News, Blogs, Twitter,Facebook and even YouTube

videos. Unfortunately bers polled after the indicated that many rnewspapers, the RCN

SUN CITY WEST FOUNDATION

Party thanks SCW residents for support

Sun City West Foundation had a party to thank the community for its support of the Foundation and the programs the Foundation runs,such as Helping Hands and the community bus service. The Foun-dation’s March 10 party included melodious Dixieland Jazz per-formed by the Sun City Stomperz, above. About 480 guests enjoyedhot dogs, soda and chips served on the mall. Inside the Foundation’snew Grand Canyon Room, Cactus Country duo played country clas-sics and rock and roll oldies while guests enjoyed coffee and cookies.The Foundation hopes to make “The Party” an annual event.

Sun City West Foundation is at 14465 R.H. Johnson Blvd.Information: 623-584-6851.

In a new pilot program, theSheriff’s Posse of Sun CityWest’s efforts to locate missingor wandering residents is beingtaken to a new level using thelatest in GPS locator technol-ogy. The new program is beingfinancially supported by a$5,000 grant from the Commu-nity Fund of Sun City West.

Using money from the Com-munity Fund, the Posse re-cently purchased some newGPS personal locator devices.The devices are being madeavailable to residents wishinga faster method of finding a

missing spouse, relative or friend for an initial six-monthtrial run. The new device isabout the size of a small moneyclip and weighs 1.4 ounces.

Roy Pieffer heads up the

Posse’s WAY (Where AreYou?) program, which aids the

public in finding missingAlzheimer’s patients. Accord-ing to Pieffer, the new system,working off a satellite, can pin-

point the subject’s locationwithin six feet anywhere on thecontinent, and the subject’s lo-cation can be monitored by thePosse or by a caretaker using acomputer.

Sun City West CommunityFund President Jerry Overtonsaid, “The Community Fund saw the potential of using GPSlocators to help Sun City West

caregivers keep track of their wandering loved ones.”

The Spring Arts and Crafts fair was held March 24. The skywas sunny and blue,without any wind or

dust. The crowds werethick and in a spend-ing mood.

The Village Storehad noticed an uptick in sales for the monthof March prior to the fair. Thatis quite typical as March is the

busiest month for us. ThisSpring Fair was held one week later than last year. It did notconflict with the Sun CityGrand Arts and Crafts fair,

which I think is a ben-efit to us. Taking intoaccount that fact, theinflux of Spring Train-ing, Spring Break and

our winter residents -the crowds were largeand shoppers reallyseemed to enjoy theday.

The final totals fromthe fair showed an increase insales in all but four of the 22clubs participating. There wasa 14 percent increase over theSpring Fair of 2011. Our creditcard sales were over by 22 per-cent. The overall attendance

was markedly greater between10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Hot dogsand hamburgers were flyingoff the grill. Record sales of food were achieved. When all

was said and done, it was avery successful day.I want to thank the folks that

participated in making thingsrun so smoothly. The Rec Cen-ter employees manning thecredit card stations, most of who had been working tire-lessly in the Member Servicesoffice during the election, did awonderful job. I know theywould have rather been homeresting, so a very special

“Thank you!” goes out tothem.

The Recreation staff that putup, tore down, ran credit card forms, cooked, served and

cleaned up did a marvelous job. The Village Store volun-teers who worked in the storekept things moving. The Vil-lage Store staff members whowork like a finely tuned clock again made me very proud.

My sincere thanks go out toall of the clubs that participated in selling items - without youwe would not have a need for a fair. All of you again proved that Sun City West is the best

place to live in the coIn summation, this

best Spring Arts anFair that we have evehas grown over the y

participation has grwell. I am so proud to of this wonderful comand help make this successful. My hat goyou, the residents of West, and to your tale

For those of you wfor cooler areas for tmer, have a safe triwonderful summer. Fof you who stay, keep keep creating.

Men’s beginning class, on-the-course class startingI am looking forward to contin-

uing learning programs throughthe summer months. I am hoping“Mother Nature” is kinder thanshe was last summer.

I have had requests for begin-ning golf programs for men, so Iwill be adding a four-week pro-gram just for men. We will cover

putting, chipping, pitching and iron/dri-vers.

I have also heard the statement: “I can’tseem to take it from the driving range tothe golf course,” so I am going to offer anon-course lesson with a maximum of four

people covering how to approach the tee

shot, uphill/downhill lies, club se-lection and many other questionsthat may arise during the course of

play.I have had many of my students

have a “break through” after takinga playing lesson. For the beginninggolfer, it is extremely helpful get-ting over the intimidation factor of

going onto the course.Please keep your eyes open for upcom-

ing clinics and if there are any areas of thegame you would like to see addressed,

please let me know.One thing we can all work on is our flex-

ibility! It will help you feel better and play

better golf when you stretch and Everything in balance!
