April - Recreation Centers of Sun City

Transcription

ISSUE # 138 • APRIL 2013 • A PUBLICATION OF THE RECREATION CENTERS OF SUN CITY, INC.
Del Webb Days
The first days for Del Webb were much like the first Del Webb
Days. Back in 1960, Del Webb’s vision for a different type of retirement community was about to become a reality. And while many
scoffed at his idea, the Del Webb Development Company (DEVCO)
had five model homes, a recreation center, 9-hole golf course and
a shopping center ready for the January 1st opening. As they
anxiously awaited opening day, they wondered “would anyone
show up?” Over 100,000 people toured Sun City that weekend and
DEVCO sold 237 houses. And as they say, the rest is history.
Fast forward to 2013, and as preparations were finalized for the
first Del Webb Days, many expressed similar concerns. If there was
an all-day event offering free top-notch entertainment, gourmet
food trucks and the opportunity to meet and mingle with likeminded individuals – “would anybody show up?”
During the short intermission, some of the audience headed home
– but then more people came – just as they did that memorable
New Year’s Weekend back in 1960.
Next up on the program came hall of fame speaker LaDonna Gatlin, who shared with the audience her humble church beginnings
and love of gospel music. She reminisced about the big career
that could have been singing with her siblings, The Gatlin Brothers. But as she has been quoted as saying, “My brothers went on to
produce hit records…I went on to produce two kids! My brothers
Seating in the Sundial Auditorium quickly filled with many enjoying their lunches and liquid refreshments when promptly at 2
o’clock, the lights dimmed and the first of three live entertainment acts took to the stage. The talented Guy Pennacchio and his
band’s tribute to Frank Sinatra had the audience snapping, tapping
and dancing. Guy has previously performed at the Sun Bowl, and
his following was evident by those in the crowd singing along to
each and every song.

News
On Saturday, March 2nd at Sundial, not only did Sun Citians and
their guests show up, they arrived with enthusiasm and pride in
celebrating the first Del Webb Days. And once again, as they say,
history has repeated itself.
Though lines quickly formed and wait times increased, everyone
rejoiced in the beautiful afternoon sunshine that has lured many
to call our community home. Gourmet food vendors set up shop
and immediately began selling their wares. Burgers Amore offered
a variety of sandwiches including customized burgers, chicken
and sausages together with fries – or sweet potato fries. The aroma
filled the open-air plaza luring more and more folks to endure
the wait. On the adjacent side, vendor DGP Gourmet Fry Bread
churned out platefuls of piping hot deliciousness served up by
Chef J. Gabriel Pompa himself. For a sweet and refreshing desert
treat, LuLu’s Italian Ice dished out heavenly scoops of coolness
made from fresh seasonal fruits such as strawberry, lemon and
passion fruit blended with 100% juices. Everyone remembers the
pure joy of creamsicles. Yum!

got famous…I got stretch marks! But very simply put…I had a different song to sing!” LaDonna connected with those attending by
being one of us – she too lives in a Del Webb community in Texas
and understands the joys of active senior retirement.
As the sun began setting, turning the sky from awesome shades of
orange and blue and finally to dark, the ever-popular Real Tones
took to the stage, performing to a packed house eager to rock Sun
City with the great hits from the 50s and 60s. Space on the dance
floor was shared with old and young alike (including groups of
line dancers and those doing the stroll) as the Real Tones played
the great music of yesteryear including many requests from the
audience.
For many, this was the end of another gorgeous day in Sun City!
Some even said this was the best event they’d ever attended. And
just like folks have been doing since 1960, people will continue to
move here for the way of life. But the best news of all if you missed
out on all of the fun, next year’s celebration of our residents should
be even bigger and better. You won’t want to miss it!

Financial Report
Financial Report:
Period Ending - January 2013 - Please see Pre-Billed Assessments line item to explain variance in Accounts Receivable. For a
more detailed financial statement, visit www.sunaz.com/financials.
While we have started out 2013 well
within our operating budget, total
revenue for the corporation was $20,161
less than budget and $28,979 less than
last year. Golf revenue, and likewise, food
and beverage revenue took a significant
hit in January 2013, primarily due to
our cold temps. Nonetheless, expense
reduction in general operating expenses,
wages, taxes and benefits resulted in an
overall positive variance from budget for
January 2013.
Bowling Centers:
The bowling division has begun a more
aggressive approach to recruiting and
retaining bowlers; Di Tormanen, League
Coordinator, and Randy Johnson, Director of Bowling Operations, have been
visiting leagues and handing out surveys
to evaluate what the leagues strengths
and weaknesses are. The survey also asks
each bowler if they are returning next
season.
Beginning in late March 2013, the bowling division will begin the process of
replacing the lower automatic scoring
monitors (which are currently 13”) with
15” flat panel monitors. The current
monitors are fourteen years old and have
become cost prohibitive to maintain due
to replacement availability and repair
costs.

Cardholder Services:
Payments made by property owners
in outside collections totaled $2,840 in
January with payments from 13 property
owners. This reduction in payments is
related to the transition to a new outside
collections firm.
The payments on past due assessments
in January bounced back from the previous 3 month lows and were 10% above
the monthly average for the past year.
December billings went past due at a
7.5% rate and the rate for November balances going over 60 days past due was
down at 4.4%. As a result of the greater
payment rates in January, past due balances decreased for the first time in 3
months.
At the end of January, outstanding
balances related to property transfers
increased just over 6% and represent
54% of receivables due and 52% of past
due balances. This increase related to
property transfers offset the increased
payments and resulted in a net increase
in receivables of 2.4% this month.

A Moment with President Brasher
Many years ago when I was youngster
living in the “country” in rural Alabama
my brother and I generally walked to
school along a rural road. We were
taught to always walk on the side of the
road facing traffic, and avoid wearing
dark clothes.
The feeling was we could thus have fair
warning and avoid approaching danger.
Even now in the generally wide streets
of Sun City such practices help us stay
safe and by being able to see oncoming
traffic we can as a matter of courtesy to
drivers move farther to the side of the
street of sidewalk.
How about the residents who enjoy
the great opportunities to walk on our
golf courses outside the hours of play?
The key here is to know only golfers
are allowed on the courses during play.
Golfers should not have to be concerned
with non-golfers during their games,
and a flying golf ball can do serious or
even deadly harm to a person if they are
hit by an errant shot. Golf cars should
also only be driven on courses when the
driver is playing (not just going to the
clubhouse), or after hours.
Safety and courtesy should be practiced
together also when riding a bicycle in
Sun City. Bicycle riding on sidewalks is
illegal under Arizona state law and is
potentially dangerous to pedestrians
as well as vehicle drivers. Of particular
concern is the cyclist who charges off
the sidewalk into an intersection with or
without a Stop Sign.
Such action can result in a collision with
a moving vehicle whose driver was not
prepared for the illegal cyclist. Such
accidents can ruin the day for both the
cyclist and the driver of the 4-wheel
vehicle. Our state law requires bicycle
riders to obey the same laws as do the
drivers of all motorized vehicles, including riding in the street in the direction of
traffic flow. The safest way for a bicyclist
to cross an intersection with a traffic
light is to walk the cycle across in the
pedestrian crossing lane.
During periods of reduced visibility such
as near dawn and nightfall, the use of
Dog Park at Sun Bowl Plans Unveiled
Two meetings were held recently to discuss the development plans for a second Sun
City dog park at the Sun Bowl Amphitheater property. Those attending included
neighboring property owners, interested parties, dog owners/park users and members
of the RCSC Board of Directors.
Assistant General Manager Jim Wellman presented plans that addressed the area of the
existing water retention area just north of the ball fields, adjacent to properties along
Peoria and 108th Avenues, Deanne Circle and Clair Drive. Improvements would include
additional fencing, surface refurbishing, tree planting, water lines and seating with
tables.
headlights are a necessity. So many
times early in the morning we see vehicles being driven with no headlights.
The driver may be able to see due to
streetlights, but other drivers should not
be taken by surprise by an approaching
vehicle. It is no big cost to turn on our
lights when driving.
The use of vehicle turn signals is as
much a courtesy to others as it is a safety
practice. The driver must not assume
other drivers know he is slowing down
to turn.
Give advance warning with the turn
signal! Most of us were taught “defensive driving”, and those practices usually
produce safe trips.
Be safe; be courteous. And remember,
there are no Stop Signs in Sun City
intersections that are placed there only
for Snowbirds!

Farmers Market Makes
Sun City Debut
Shop for some of the freshest food stuff
that Arizona has to offer at Sun City’s
very own Farmers Market now located
at the Bell Center on Thursdays from 8
a.m. until noon in the east parking lot
adjacent to 99th Avenue.
The initial cost estimates for the project are $112,000; however the actual cost may be
less and will be paid for using monies from the Preservation & Improvement (PIF) Fund.
Discussions also included how to address aggressive animals, toys and treats being
brought on site, waste removal and park maintenance. Users of the current Duffeeland park assured everyone that users of both parks would be self-governing and
responsible pet owners as has been the norm. Minimal RCSC staff will be necessary for
maintenance other than routine trash removal keeping long-term costs to a minimum.
In addition, RCSC intends to post general rules and will have comment cards available
at the park for members to express additional ideas or concerns. One neighboring
resident has already volunteered to help with monitoring the park and the Posse will
be requested to check on any prohibited activities after hours.
The proposed hours for the dog park are 6:30 a.m. until sunset and improvements are
scheduled towards the end of summer.

While many of those attending currently use the Duffeeland Dog Park, all were in
agreement that another dog park would be a great asset, especially one with separated
areas for small and large pets, which Duffeeland does not offer. (Separate meetings
were held regarding Duffeeland; see page 18 for related story.)
“With some work done to the slope,” said Wellman, “we will be able to retain a buffer
of approximately six feet from the neighboring properties.” The finished dimensions
of the park area would be 140 feet wide by 200 feet long, divided by fencing leaving
about 70 feet on each side. Based upon the existing conditions, the final configuration
will be nearly nine feet from the park level to the top of surrounding property block
walls.

January is historically a very active month for privilege card
activity in the Cardholder Services Office. This January was consistent with historical trends with significant privilege card sales.
Annual privilege card sales were up 14% over last January while
short term privilege cards increased just 4%. Compared to last
year we have seen a shift from 180 day cards in favor of the
shorter 30 day cards. Counting all changes, the net privilege
card revenue was up 8% from last year.
Trustee sale notices on Sun City properties remained relatively
unchanged at 96 for the end of January. The number of properties owned by lending institutions decreased slightly to 79
during this month.
The Preservation and Improvement Fees collected in January
were $495,000 with the resale activity being much higher this
January than in previous years.

receive a portion of the Fund without having to prove fault,
harm or wrongdoing. The firm had been charged with “bid rigging,” improperly steering insurance placements to insurers who
paid them contingent commissions.
Those who chose not to participate in the Settlement Agreement left the door open to a class action law suit in the event
one ever materialized, which it did not. RCSC chose to participate in the settlement agreement by completing and submitting necessary paperwork. Late last week we received a check
that represents our pro rata portion of the Insurance Brokerage
Settlement Fund in the amount of $44,681.04. While not all
clients participated in the settlement agreement, their share of
funds were included in the distribution to those who chose the
settlement agreement.
We are in the process of reviewing RCSC’s employee 401(k) plan
to assure we are providing the best investment vehicles possible
for employees. We have asked two investments firms to provide
an analysis of the plan. Reviewing the plan periodically is now
a requirement showing due diligence on behalf of the Corporation.

Pace of Play Tips
Wilson hosted a demo day on February 4th at Riverview
G.C. generating over $2000 in sales. Wilson will return to
Riverview on March 20th and will have representatives
on hand to answer questions and assist with product
selection. They will be on site from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00
p.m..
Play at Good Pace and Keep Up
Players should play at a good pace. The tournament committee may establish
pace of play guidelines that all players should follow. It is a group’s responsibility
to keep up with the group in front. If it loses a clear hole and it is delaying the
group behind, it should invite the group behind to play through, irrespective of
the number of players in that group.
Cleveland Golf has also scheduled a demo day for March
4th from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Cleveland has proven a
popular draw for demo days in the past and will have
their latest products on hand for demonstration.
Be Ready to Play
Players should be ready to play as soon as it is their turn to play. When playing on
or near the putting green, they should leave their bags or carts in such a position
as will enable quick movement off the green and towards the next tee. When the
play of a hole has been completed, players should immediately leave the putting
green.
Free golf clinics will be offered March 2, 9, 16 & 23 at
Lakes Golf Course, classes begin at 9:30 a.m. There is no
need to preregister and the clinics are open to golfers of
all skill levels. The clinics are a great introduction to the
game of golf or great way to brush up on your game.
Our first night tournament of the year has been scheduled for March 29th at Lakes East G.C., the entry fee is
$25.00 per person, with green fees paid on the day of
play. Fee includes first “night” ball, dinner and night
golf accessories. Check-in is 5:30 p.m., dinner served at
6:00 p.m. and the event scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m.
Entries will be limited to the first 56 players to sign up.
Golf Courses
The courses have completed the barricade operation.
Barricade is a pre-emergent herbicide designed to kill
unwanted growth in areas of established turf. We are
primarily using barricade to control Poa Annua.
We currently have a well pump at South down to equipment malfunction. The pump has been pulled and the
motor will be rewound.
In addition to the North renovation, the bunkers at Willowbrook will also be renovated this summer. Work on
the Willowbrook bunkers will begin in early May and will
continue throughout the summer.
Snack Shops
With reduced play on the courses, snack shop revenue
for the month was $10,213 behind budget.
Lost Ball
If a player believes his ball may be lost outside a water hazard or is out of
bounds, to save time, he should play a provisional ball. Players searching for a
ball should signal the players in the group behind them to play through as soon
as it becomes apparent that the ball will not easily be found. They should not
search for five minutes before doing so. Having allowed the group behind to play
through, they should not continue play until that group has passed and is out of
range.
We are registering participants in our
April and May sessions of the “Get
Golf Ready” program. Just $99.00
includes 4 group lessons, and the 5th
lesson being a round of golf. Lessons will be held at Willowcreek Golf
Course. There is a variety of days and
times. Sessions are limited to 8 students for each group, so be sure to
sign up early. Pick the class that best
fits your schedule and sign up now!

NEWS/CENTER NEWS
ADWR Grants RCSC Water Allocation Relief
At a meeting with the Viewpoint Lake
Management Board on February 19,
RCSC General Manager Jan Ek was
pleased to announce that Arizona
Department of Water Resource officials
granted relief from state water-allotment
requirements, ending more than two
years of management research and
analysis to address annual seepage from
the RCSC-owned lake caused by liner
damage which has occurred naturally
due to environmental conditions over
time.
The reaction from meeting attendees
was overwhelmingly positive. “We are
all relieved to have a solution that does
not create an excessive financial burden
to our community nor cause extreme
disruption to Sun City and its residents,”
Ek stated.
By not staying within the required
allotment, RCSC could have faced fines
of $150,000 or more. Throughout this
process, RCSC avoided these fines by
using less water on golf courses and
purchasing additional water allotments,
which cost up to $90,000 per year. Due
to this ruling, RCSC is no longer required
to meet these mandated allotments.
In the process of reviewing every option
available, a water management plan was
created including RCSC’s historical data,
and submitted to ADWR explaining that
the seepage of Viewpoint Lake would
cause RCSC to continually exceed the
total maximum annual water allotment
and the cost of replacing the lake’s liner
was cost prohibitive and disproportionate for the community.
The stipulation in granting the relief
from meeting the total water allocation
during ADWR’s Phoenix Active Management Area (PhxAMA) Third Management
Plan period is the replacement of the
golf course irrigation systems at North,
Willowcreek, Riverview, Willowbrook
and Lakes East in the next five years.
The other stipulation is that RCSC disseminate water education materials to
residents by providing water education
classes on an annual basis.
While PhxAMA’s third management plan
period will come to an end in the next
couple years once the fourth management plan is completed by ADWR, RCSC
will be able to apply again for administrative review and based on this recent
approval, RCSC can expect to receive
similar, if not identical, stipulations and
approval. The fourth management plan
will be for a period of ten years.
At left, RCSC General
Manager Jan Ek shares a
big smile and the spotlight with Jerry Klaus,
Viewpoint Lake Management Board Member,
after the announcement
that ADWR granted
relief from state water
allotment requirements.

Friends of the Library
WHAT’S NEW? How about four new board members for “Friends”?
Camilla Kuberka has served on her Condo Board as Chairperson for 12 years, Shuffleboard president for six years, mini-golf president for five years and the Bocce Treasurer for four years. She served for 10 years on the RCSC Board of Directors Election
Committee and was a volunteer at the Sun City Library for nine years and as a library
assistant.
Judy Wannamaker recently retired. Originally from Minnesota, she has lived in Sun
City for the past 16 years. She was a real estate agent the past 11 years. Judy has been
a volunteer for the “Book Buddy” program. She belongs to the Computer Club and
served as Co-Chair for her Condo Association for the past two years.
Jerry Walczak has been a resident of Phoenix since 1994 and moved to Sun City three
years ago upon retirement but keeps busy as the Monitor at Quail Run Golf Course,
the chairman for the annual club championship and the annual octogenarian tournament. He is the chairman and Yard Director of his HOA, a board member of Sun City
Men’s Green Committee and the Golf Advisory Board.
Suzanne Isenberg is a former elementary school teacher in New Jersey and New York.
She was the program director and event coordinator in Tucson and Phoenix for retirement communities for the past 22 years. Suzanne has volunteered as a tutor several
times per week for the El Mirage School System. She also belongs to the fiction and
mystery book clubs at the library. Busy People!
WHAT’S COMING?
Bell Library - The Master Gardeners will be at Bell on April 1 to provide information on
desert vegetation from 10 a.m. until noon.
Books Around The Corner - “The Friends Bookstore” is having a half-price sale on all
Science Fiction Books.
Book Clubs will meet as usual. Mystery Book Club - April 3; Murder & Mayhem (who
came up with this name?) Book Club - April 4; Fiction Book Club – April 25. The
Socrates Café will meet on April 6.
Visiting Authors - Sharon Catlett on April 5 to discuss her book, “Farmlands, Forts and
Country Life: the Story of Southwest Denver.” Jan Cleere on April10 to discuss her book,
“Levis & Lace: Arizona Women who made History.”
John Tenuta on April 19 to discuss “Autobiography of a Barber.”
Fairway Library: Learn how to navigate, download books and use e-Readers. Instructions available April 3, 4, 5, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19 and 24. Check with the library for times
and your needs.
Both Libraries will have Roxanne Butler from Prime Care Hospice checking blood pressure. She will be at Bell on April 9 from 10 to 11 a.m. and at Fairview on April 11 from
10 to 11 a.m. and again on April 29 from 2:30 to 4 p.m.
I grew up thinking that as long as your blood stayed inside your body and moved
around that you were OK. Remember when we did not have seat belts? Or you and
all your buddies shared a soda or a lick on a lollipop? And nobody got sick!
NEEDS? The Friends of the Library is always looking for volunteers and or donations!
We’re a non-profit organization which consists of many individuals volunteering their
time to promote, enhance and expand the Library. In addition to promoting the
Library, we have a program called “The Book Buddies.” This program brings books and
more to your door at no cost (if you are incapacitated). Judy Wannamaker is very passionate about this one and needs volunteers to help her expand so that she can reach
more homebound patrons. These are individuals who cannot leave their homes but
still want to utilize the Library. To volunteer or learn more about this program, please
call the Friend’s Bookstore at 602-651-2014.

MONITORED ACTIVITIES
Tips for Seniors from Daily Fitness...
Have a Ball Building Core
Monitored Activities
Racquetball
Billiard Tables
Balancing on a Fitness Ball is a great way to engage
core muscles. Darlene Henderson uses a “walkout”
technique to position herself for abdominal crunches.
Ball training is only one of the many exercise formats
Darlene learned from fitness professional, Jane Fortier.
Core strength is critical to functional fitness – that is, fitness essential to both daily living and regular activities.
Strong core muscles help maintain appropriate posture
and reduce strain on the spine. The “core” actually consists of many different muscles that stabilize the spine
and pelvis and run the entire length of the torso. The
goal of core stability is to maintain a solid foundation,
and transfer energy from the center of the body out to
the limbs.

“Exercises performed on a fitness ball challenge core
musculature”, Fortier states. “Core muscles have two
different roles – one to move the body (Mobilizers)
and one to resist or control movement (Stabilizers). In
the core, mobilizing muscles move the body in several
different directions – bending forwards, backwards,
sideways and twisting. Stabilizing muscles keep the
individual bones of the spine correctly aligned when
the mobilizers are at work. Exercises on the fitness ball
use both mobilizers and stabilizers, thus improving core
strength & stability. These exercises lead to stronger
trunk musculature and better functional fitness.”

Commentary:
Let’s Talk BP-12 by Bill Pearson, Board Director
I’ve sat on my hands and bit my tongue long enough. As the one no vote on the RCSC
board of directors regarding BP12, perhaps I’m the most logical person to speak out on
these issues. I did not like the process we used as we arrived at BP12’s final outcome,
but I was and still am in agreement with the entirety of its conceptual design.

Clearly the board’s actions have left a bad taste in the mouths of the “special clubs.” They’ve
been treated in ways that allowed them to do as they saw fit. Right or wrong, it’s the way
it was. As we (the board) looked at the entirety of the problems we faced, we still had to
return to the basic premise of Sun City…It was built for Sun City residents!
When we buy into the community, we all pay a price to own a property in the community.
There are more than ample cases where buyers/owners don’t even get to use the amenities. It’s the terms and conditions they buy under and in time, most will come to be able to
utilize the incredible amenity package we all share.
Giving clubs more freedom and flexibility just plain makes sense. Ownership has been,
currently is and hopefully always will be one of the primary attractions for those living
here to get involved. Accepting that responsibility for a clubs success is ultimately one
of the keys members must grasp or frankly, they will die off and be gone.
To the point: Why in the world would people who don’t live in Sun City feel they have some
God-given right to use the facilities for free? Let’s be blunt, we didn’t say they couldn’t play
in the bands; we said they would have to pay like everyone else does.
The board’s decision to rewrite BP 12 was not taken lightly or without considerable
argument for and against any number of items. In some ways we acted out against
the best wishes of the COC’s. Many of them felt those tight controls were essential. The
board saw it the other way…loosening the rules gave club officers more opportunity to
shape their own destiny.
Unreasonable? Hardly. Sun City residents have always enjoyed a magnificent way of life. It
comes at a price. As a board of directors, we work hard to deliver great value, reasonable
costs and to preserve the values built into the community. We cannot do that by simply
ignoring those who elect to live somewhere else and then say they have unrestricted
access to what those who live here pay for.
Now some 3 months later, we are finding most clubs love their new freedom. Others
are still working their way through the impact. As in all things, there’s always a learning
curve. Unfortunately, for a handful of clubs, there’s still lingering resentments.
While our goal was to give more freedom to clubs, there are just some things we felt we
must demand of all clubs. Asking those who use our amenities and choose not to live here,
to pay a small price was hardly unfair. It was about insuring we preserve an unmatched
lifestyle at a remarkable price.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Did You Know...? RCSC Committees
How can I become involved and/or learn more about
RCSC?
Volunteer to serve on a committee. There are thirteen standing committees that you can choose from: Bowling, Club Organization (COC), Elections,
Entertainment, Finance, Budget & Audit, Golf Advisory (see Green Committee
below), Government Affairs, Insurance, Lawn Bowling Advisory, Long Range
Planning, Marketing, Member Communication and Properties.
In general, what do committees do?
A committee is a small group of Members, generally subordinate to the
Board of Directors, which is organized to assist the Board in specific areas as
assigned. Members may present specific concerns and issues to the appropriate committee for review and recommendation to the Board. There are two
types of committees: standing and ad-hoc.
What is the difference between a standing committee and
an ad-hoc committee?
Standing committees are committees with a continued existence, formed
to do their assigned duties on an ongoing basis. An ad-hoc committee is a
committee that exists for a temporary or limited amount of time to perform a
specific assigned duty.
How are committees formed?
The RCSC Board of Directors is empowered by the Corporate Bylaws to create
or eliminate committees as they may deem necessary to properly and effectively carry on the affairs of the Corporation. All committees report directly to
the Board of Directors, excluding the Green Committees at each golf course,
which are sub-committees of the Golf Advisory Committee.
Who can serve on committees?

experience in the committee’s purpose and is not related to any other member of the committee by marriage or birth and agrees to adhere to the RCSC
Articles of Incorporation, Corporate Bylaws, Board Policies, Cardholders and
Guest Code of Conduct and any Rules & Regulations of the Corporation.
What are RCSC Standing Committees?

the previous year, advise the Board of Directors of any concerns it has regarding the
financial operations, and review and make recommendations regarding the annual
operating and capital budget. It is the purpose of the Audit Committee to financially

each golf course’s Green Committee, one male and one female, and the presidents of
the golf associations in Sun City.
What is the Green Committee at each golf course and how can I
attend?
The Green Committees are subsidiary committees under the Golf Advisory Committee, composed of up to three (3) male and three (3) female members who are
generally elected by the golfers at each course. The Green Committees meet monthly
and the schedule is available on the RCSC website at http://suncitygolfing.com/golfcalendar.

Duffeeland Dog Park Meetings Well Attended
RCSC Management recently met with adjacent
property owners, park users and interested residents
regarding Duffeeland Dog Park to discuss concerns
and issues with this property.
More than 75 people attended the two meetings and
many left feeling that the group will be able to reconcile many of their differences now that the issues
were brought to the attention of others.
Many expressed concerns about barking dogs and
park hours. As with the proposed Sun Bowl Dog Park,
RCSC will be posting rules and regulations including
that the park opens daily at 6:30 a.m. and is for RCSC
cardholders and their invited guests only. Meanwhile,
users of the park maintain that they will continue to
be diligent and self-governing to help address the
problems that neighboring properties are finding
troublesome directly with the pet owners as they
occur.
Duffeeland Dog Park also has physical challenges
that were discussed. Large earthen mounds on the
property and fencing less than six feet high create a
situation where park users can literally see onto the
adjacent properties. Those in attendance discussed
possible changes to the level the grounds and to
explore options for additional fencing, most area residents wanted to retain the scenic and aesthetic views
they currently enjoy.
Improvements have already been made at the site and
others are planned including more convenient water
availability, partial removal of plastic sheeting under
the gravel which should allow for better drainage and
more waste cans.
Duffeeland Dog Park is located at the southwest
corner of Del Webb Boulevard and Thunderbird Road
North behind the Washington Federal Bank building.
Getting Comfortable with Board Policy 12 Session Held
In an effort to assist RCSC Club Officers, an afternoon
session was recently held at Fairway to address “Getting
Comfortable with Board Policy 12” and the changes
that were made in order to create a more user-friendly
policy, simplifying processes for both clubs and management and to allow clubs to make decisions whenever possible.
After an introduction of RCSC’s Board of Directors and
Clubs Office staff by RCSC General Manager Jan Ek, the
nearly three hour session was aimed at helping those
in attendance understand and get comfortable with
BP12.

are able to use either Host Punch Cards or Daily Guest
Passes (obtained at monitor stations) for the payment
of guest fees.

can be requested from the Clubs Office by calling
623-561-4660 or by visiting the office at the Lakeview

Policy 12 makes it practical for all clubs to thrive regardless of size and to fairly apply the rules and regulations
for all members,” he said.
Attendees were encouraged throughout the session to
ask questions as each topic was discussed. Highlights
included changes in the number of members for clubs
depending upon whether or not a club has dedicated
space, how to validate membership now that new
member and privilege cards do not show expiration

Solar Project Update
ATTENTION:
Power Shut Downs
at all RCSC Centers
Between now and May, all RCSC recreational centers will
need to have power shut downs as we connect the new
solar power systems to existing electrical equipment
which will save an estimated $900,000+ over the next
15 years – enough energy to power 347 homes. During this process, various clubs and social meetings may
need to be relocated or cancelled and we apologize in
advance for this inconvenience.
The length of time will vary depending upon the location but we remain committed to keeping you informed
as soon as possible. Sign up for RCSC News Alert Emails
at www.sunaz.com for the latest updates.
