Time dedicated to you for architectural changes: There have been questions about why the Community Service Coordinator's (CSC) office is open for architectural changes from 9-11 AM. This time is reserved for our residents to come in and meet with Katy Mosier to discuss what's needed to get their project off the ground and compliant with governing documents. The employees in the front office can answer some, but not all, of the home improvement questions, and you may be asked to return during the 9-11 AM time frame. When the CSC's office is not open, the CSC is busy processing home sales (16 so far in December), and homes going into escrow, which involves working with the realtors and title companies, as well as the Architectural Compliance Team for home inspections (there are 18 to date in December). Violation letters are also processed through this office (there were around 400 in November); with 400 letters written you can imagine how many phone calls are received with questions about the violations. This provides a little insight as to what happens when the office isn't open. Please plan to bring your requests to the CSC's office from 9-11 AM, Monday-Friday and please be considerate to our employees out front when this time frame is brought to your attention. If you forget the times, they are published in the Tipster monthly on page 2 under Community Services.

Seeking SCOV Trailblazers and 2nd Generation SCOV Homeowners. On February 15, 2017, the Marketing Committee is hosting a 30th Anniversary celebration for the community. We will be honoring the "Trailblazers" who moved into the first homes in Sun City 30 years ago. If you are one of the original SCOV homeowners (1987 to mid-1988), we are trying to locate you to send you a personal invitation to the celebration. Today, many homeowners are 2nd Generation; i.e., children of the original "Trailblazers." We would also like to know who you are and encourage you to attend the celebration and share your stories about why you love living in SCOV. Please contact Joy Huxtable at joyeh1115@gmail.com or call 520-548-2653, if you are a Trailblazer, or know how to contact them. In addition, if you are directly related to a Trailblazer, please also contact Joy.
Rent Your Home? Please note:
- Your Facility Access Cards (Membership cards) are non-transferable and may only be used by you. You may not give your renters your cards.
- Before any cards are issued to renters, we MUST have your Facility Access Cards on file in the office AND your HOA dues must be up to date.
- A renter form must be completed by you and returned by your renter(s) when they come in to receive their cards. You will find the form on the website here.
- There is a $25 renter registration fee (for up to two cards)
- Please note the front office will not keep on file any future rental agreements. It is the responsibility of the renter to submit all paperwork upon arrival to SCOV.
Interesting tidbit: Did you know that thanks to the efforts of Lisa and Karen at the front desk of the Welcome Center, of the 2,488 homes in SCOV we have 2,155 emails to more effectively communicate with residents. If you're not getting This Week in SCOV by email, please give your email address to Lisa or Karen. With the election coming up, it will be very helpful for you to be able to receive election notices by email.
Getting to know the GM: I love to bowl, and won the men's singles gold medal in the Huntsman World Senior Games for three consecutive years. My wife, Sheryl, and I have four children, all married and living in other states.
