The next GM

Coffee Chat is scheduled for December 2nd at Oakwood

President's Report:  November 19, 2014  

As of now we have received thirteen candidate resumes for the General Manger position, some were directly submitted and others by the Adamen Agency. The Selection Task Force (STF) that consists of myself, Doug Bishop, John Porter, Dick Rubin, Kathy Heineman, Phil Tollefson, Clark Champion and Natasha Bell, reviewed the resumes and determined that four candidates met our initial criterion. For example, we looked for management of at least 2000 residences, a budget of at least $5million, on-site restaurants, Community Association Institute certification, etc. A list of questions will be sent to the candidates soliciting a written response to be followed by telephone interviews by the STF. The Board, with newly elected members, will be present for the phone/Skype interviews, but the questions will come from the STF. From these interviews the STF will select 2 or 3 candidates for further consideration. Background checks to verify employment history and references will be conducted. The finalists will be invited to IronOaks for in-person interviews by the full Board and informal discussions with the staff management. At this point a final selection can be made and contracts negotiated.

Over the course of the last 6 or 7 weeks the Board has identified factors that will define success for the GM hire and Board. This process is not fully complete and will proceed over the next few months. In this process we verified the need for a long range plan for our facilities. This was brought home by review of the proposal to be brought forward by the Ad hoc PickleBall Committee that we heard at the Board meeting.. A serious issue with parking has become glaringly obvious. Mike Kozak from the Properties Committee has summarized the situation in a report that analyzed the original design by Robson. We have identified a civil engineer that worked on the Pickleball Committee who will further explore the County requirements versus our current parking capacity. Until we understand the parking situation and the best and highest use of our facilities, we recommended that consideration of new and expanded amenities be suspended.

Respectfully - David Peters

Natural Gas Leaks Still Affecting
Halley and Voax Pools

On Friday, November 14th, Incompass Inspections attempted to locate the second leak in the gas line to the Voax and Halley pools and spas. However, they were unsuccessful. Currently the Facilities Department is exploring solar heating with input from SRP and is also investigating the possibility of propane heating.

The Department does not expect the Voax and Halley pools and spas to be open until sometime after the first of the year. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we resolve this issue.

House Painting and Exterior Work on Homes

According to the ALC Guidelines, painting the exterior of your home requires an ALC permit. Recently unscrupulous painting contractor practices have been reported to the Patrol and ALC offices. Homeowners should be aware that soliciting of any kind is not allowed in our community. If a painter comes to your door, you should immediately report him to the Patrol office at 802-4937. Any contractor you hire, for your own protection, needs to be licensed by the State of Arizona.

Homeowners are strongly urged to call the ALC office with any questions concerning painting, or any other type of outside work you want to do on your property. We are happy to answer any questions you might have, and we are able to verify a contractor's license through the Registrar of Contractors website. Please avail yourself of our services before you enter into a contract to do painting or any outside work around your home.

The ALC office is open Monday through Thursday, 8am to Noon. Our phone number is 802-2776. We are here to help and will gladly answer any questions you may have.
