LINK Magazine, (misleading report to the Membership)

David Steinman, President SCSCAI Board of Directors

David, a LINK article titled, From the Executive Director, is incorrect and misleading to our community. The ED alludes that SCSCAI is financially sound, due to Planning, Staff and Management being the key, this is far from accurate. If we focus on the Summary of 10/23/14 meeting-Highland Falls G.C. Maintenance Project/4th fairway perimeter letter sent to the Board, it demonstrates the Wack-A-Mole approach to Management. This would be plain to see if the w/orders are reviewed. There doesn't seem to be an end in sight. Completion date unknown! 

We as Home-Owner's are not allowed rebuttal of articles posted in the LINK Magazine. If the Membership was allowed open and timely rebuttal this community would be more efficiently operated. 

 I am expecting a written reply, Thanks for your attention,

Summary of 10/23/14 meeting-Highland Falls G.C. Maintenance Project/4th fairway perimeter

Attendance, 
Sue Papillon, ED/ HOA management, 
Brian Bagwell/Steve, G.C maintenance dept/staff
Charlotte Kuklin, homeowner/member
Dwain Kramzar, homeowner/member

Summary:
  • Frame & focus the issue, uniformity & maintenance outlined in original governing documents.
  • maintenance & landscape design are separate projects.
  • History of project, deterioration is due to the lack of normal maintenance for years without a written job plan creating a whack-a-mole situation
  • Uniformity and erosion was stressed, Completion date put off to Dec/Jan 2015??,
Conclusion:
Highland Falls G.C. Maintenance Project/4th fairway perimeter was initiated April 2014 completion date is now moved to December/January 2015, ten months if completed. Frankly, I don't have much confidence that the ED (management) can reverse a sixteen year deterioration due to a lack of a written job plan. Staff without a written job/project plan are being subjected to a whack-a-mole situation that  causes pressures from residents, this makes an impossible situation for staff to do their job efficiently. Hopefully, the ED can solicit support of BoD's to eliminate this costly condition.

Del Webb Corporation started fazing out their involvement in 1995 leaving the home-owner a written contract that the following paragraph summarizes. 

The community is organized into a community association, Sun City Summerlin Community Association, Inc.  The Association's purpose is, with reasonable governance and rules, to provide for the care andmaintenance of the facilities in a cost effective manner, and to create an atmosphere which encourages new and old residents to maintain the active lifestyle they have sought by moving to the community.

We all owe Sue Papilion-ED a word of thanks for finally addressing this eyesore.
