FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER

The Language of HOAs:

Terms You Should Know maintains records; and the treasurer, who provides custodial duties when it comes to Association funds and financial records.

CAM Staff Kenneth Olson, CMCA, AMS General Manager

Earlier this year, the Board of Directors established an ad hoc committee to review our By-Laws and CC &R’s and come back with recommended revisions to update these documents. These recommendations would be reviewed and accepted by the Board and the changes would be brought before the Members of the Association to be decided through the voting process. But before we begin this process, it’s important to have clarity on a few important terms all Sun City Grand Members should know.

Board of Directors Let’s start with the basics. Under the Arizona Nonprofit Corporations Act, our community association is a non-profit corporation, and corporations are led by individuals who make up the Board of Directors. The Board’s role is to carry out the duties and responsibilities of the Association as set forth by the governing documents. The Board is responsible for establishing corporate and operational policies of the Association. Each Board has a few specific members: A president, who acts as the chief executive officer; the vice president, who can exercise all of the powers of the president in his or her absence; the secretary, who keeps and 10

These are the individuals that manage the day-to-day operations of the community. CAM staff includes the general manager, departmental managers and their teams, administrative support, maintenance, housekeeping, golf course workers, etc. The general manager and his team enforce Bylaws, administer guidelines, and consulting on fiscal items, manage maintenance issues and much more.

Recorded Map or Plan

Community Assessment Fees Fees are what fund the Association. The assessments are paid by community Members in Sun City Grand on a yearly basis. These funds pay for community maintenance, upkeep of amenities, CAM staff, legal costs, insurance and the cost of community events, to name a few.

Federal/Local Laws and Regulations Our association isn’t the only entity making rules. The Federal government, the City of Surprise and Maricopa County may have their own regulations as well, and they might significantly impact our community. For instance, local fire codes might mean you have to install (and have inspected) sprinkler systems or exit signage in your buildings. County officials may be coming out to test the water in our pool and inspect its safety features. Local taxes might apply, too. It’s important to be familiar with these local regulations and how they impact the community.

You can find this document in the Maricopa County Recorder’s office. It shows the complete layout of our community, including the location of all the lots before they were sold to individual owners. Common areas and easements are also depicted. You’ll find this document comes in handy if you need to identify title to a property. It also provides clarity for who’s responsible for maintaining a piece of property (owner or Association) and helps determine if the property has been located properly within the community.

Declarations or CC&Rs The purpose of this document is to declare state ownership rights and make clear any limitations that might affect Members of the Association and the community. Why all the different names for the same thing? Well, it depends on your community type. Throughout Arizona, condos and co-ops usually call these documents a declaration or master deed. The term CC&R’s (short for Grand Lifestyles | August 2016 | grandinfo.com

Resolutions HOA board members adopt resolutions that work as rules or regulations. We keep a Book of Resolutions that contains all of these measures. Different types of resolutions include: 1. Policy: These resolutions affect owners’ rights and regulations and address items including common areas, architectural provisions, and enforcement procedures. 2. Administration: These address internal workings of the community including operations, collections, location of meetings being held, etc. 3. Special: These are rulings made by board members that apply to an individual situation including a rule violation or actions taken following a lawsuit. 4. General: These outline routine, ordinary events on a community’s calendar such as budgets or approval of contracts.

Hierarchy of Authority

covenants, conditions and restrictions) is typically used for planned communities like Sun City Grand and is recorded at the County Recorder’s Office. This document is a very important tool in managing the Association since it: 1. Addresses what property is owned by the individual and what is owned by the community at large; 2. Creates a relationship among all owners to each other and the community for maintaining, funding, and governing the development; 3. Sets standards, restrictions, and obligations based on architectural control and other activities to promote communal harmony; 4. Creates an administrative framework; and 5. Provides transition of control of the association from the developer to the property owners.

Articles of Incorporation Put simply, the Articles of Incorporation are a legal document that establishes the Association as an entity. It outlines the purpose and powers of the association and provides details on the structure of our Board. This document is filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission and is updated yearly.

By-Laws This is basically a set of rules of how we govern ourselves. Typically, they describe what’s required to be a Member of the Association, and they also define the rules for holding meetings, outline Members’ voting rights, make clear your community’s election procedures, stipulate quorum requirements and describe the responsibilities and powers of the Association Board.

This is a big phrase that means something pretty simple: the collection of governing documents used by a community Association. The actual documents that make up this collection may vary among different communities, but generally speaking, they include: 1. Recorded map or plan (Plat Maps) 2. Declarations (CC&Rs) 3. Articles of Incorporation 4. By-Laws 5. Residential Design Guidelines (RDG’s) and SCG Rules & Regulations 6. And any other items necessary to the community

There you have it – the basics for speaking the language of HOAs.

Conversation with Ken

The Conversation with Ken session provides a good opportunity for homeowners to bring questions to the General Manager and engage in discussion in a casual format. Conversation with Ken has been cancelled for August and will resume on September 21 at 6 p.m. in the Palm Center. Grand Lifestyles | August 2016 | grandinfo.com

The Strategic Community Plan

Our Vision

Sun City Grand is the premier active age-restricted community in Arizona. A “roadmap” to achieve our vision over the next 10 years has been completed and presented to the Board. Unlike the CC&Rs and Bylaws changes (which requires the approval vote of the residents), the acceptance of the Strategic Plan document lies with the Board of Directors. Development of the plan involved thirty four (34) resident volunteers, two on-line resident surveys and many hours of research, discussion and planning. n At a Special Board Workshop held on July 26th, the Board reviewed the recommended goals, action items and timelines. Residents at the

meeting were given an opportunity to voice their opinions and contribute their thoughts. On August 25th, at the “Chat with the Board and Board Workshop,” additional time will be available for residents to present their questions and make comments. Finally, the Board will vote to accept, modify or reject the Strategic Plan at its September 8th Board meeting. Residents will again be invited to make comments before the vote is taken.

Strategic Plan is currently available for all residents on the grandinfo.com home page, just scroll down to: “Important News.” The Board invites you to read the Strategic Plan and learn more about the proposed plans for Grand. If you have questions or comments and cannot attend the Board meetings you are invited to send an email to: grandstrategic@gmail.com. We hope you will join the discussions in the upcoming weeks. Thanks, in advance, for your participation and interest. Ellie Brooks, SCG Board President

Renting Out Your Scg Home During the winter months, there are over 550 renter-occupied homes in Sun City Grand, the majority of which are 3 to 4 month leases. About a hundred of them are rented out long-term for 12 months or more. n

Meda Cates

Membership Manager 623-546-7435 Meda.Cates@ scgcam.com

Last year we issued over 1400 Renter Activity Cards for use of our Association Facilities, which created almost $200,000 in revenue. Renters also generate revenue when they golf, join clubs, buy event tickets, and dine in our restaurants. Last year 10% of buyers had rented prior to purchasing their home. It is clear that renters coming to our Community have a positive impact.

Provide to the Association, in writing, the names of the renters, the length of the lease, and proof of dates-of-birth. The Lease must have a beginning date and an expiration date. There can be no more than two people per bedroom.

When owners adhere to Sun City Grand rental rules, it creates a positive outcome for all involved: the owner, the renter and the Association.

Governing Documents Rental Rules Every new owner is given the Governing Documents by the Association. Arizona Revised Statutes 33-1806 require that the owner sign a statement acknowledging the Governing Documents constitute a contract between the Association and the purchaser. Therefore, the new owner has agreed to abide by all provisions in the Association Governing Documents by virtue of their purchase. There are some on-line rental sites that offer “the unique alternative to hotels”, and match home owners with travelers for short-term rentals. Owners utilizing online sites should be sure the listing does not contradict provisions in our Governing Documents regarding rentals: n The lease must be a minimum of 30 days. n One renter occupant must be age 45 or older. n No one under the age of 19 can occupy the home.

When residents are away from home for two weeks or more, they are encouraged to fill out a Vacation Watch form which is available in the Welcome Center and the Membership Office at the Palm Center, as well as online at grandinfo.com. Completed forms are to be returned to the Membership Office in the Palm Center. Three criteria are required for homeowners to use this program: (1) homeowner must be away for a minimum of two weeks; (2) a keyholder must be identified on the request form; and (3) homes for sale and those using paid house-sitting services will NOT be accepted. C.H.A.P.S. volunteers will walk around the home checking for unlocked doors, unlocked or broken windows, etc. The goal is to make the house look occupied. When an irregularity is found, the designated keyholder will be notified. C.H.A.P.S. does not report homeowner violations to the Standards Office. EVENING PATROL

The C.H.A.P.S. volunteer of the 2nd quarter!

During evening hours, volunteers patrol our streets in Association vehicles to observe and report unusual activity. The volunteers look for breaches of security such as open garage doors, suspicious vehicles and/or people. Street light outages and road hazards will be reported to the proper authorities. SBC

FROM THE SOFTBALL CLUB

2016 spring Season Softball Weekday and Saturday Champions

Submitted by Ron Underwood

The Sun City Grand Softball Club finished its 2016 spring season on June 25, 2016. During this softball season, some players from each of the three “softball skill leagues – Red,

White and Blue” joined together to form 10 teams playing in one weekday league and 4 teams playing in the Saturday league. The write ups which follow were prepared by Pierre Boudreau from input from the winning team managers.

Spring Weekday League Champion

Spring Saturday League Champion

The Camino Del Sol team managed by Norris Carpenter completed their season with 15 wins and 3 losses. The team got off to a torrid start by winning its first 11 games before sustaining a loss. Camino had great team chemistry and the players provided positive support to each other throughout the entire season. The mix of Red, White and Blue league players merged flawlessly on this team. Consistent and great pitching, defense and hitting resulted in a season to remember for the Camino Del Sol teammates.

The Colonnade team had a record of 6 wins and 2 losses during the season. The overall team batting average for the spring Saturday league champions was .555 with 8 inside the park home runs. Terry Braun is the team manager.

CONNECT WITH THE COLONNADE

Daily Meditation Can Bring Inspiration to Your

Life

share your hopes. Share your weaknesses as well as your strengths. Share you money, your gifts, your laughter. Share yourself. Give freely and the universe will give freely to you. Barbara Foster Executive Director, The Colonnade 623-236-3700

I discovered the book “Journey to the Heart” by Melody Beattie a few months ago and I’ve been reading it as a daily meditation. It’s heightened my appreciation for the people, places and things that make up my life, of which The Colonnade is a big part. The residents here never cease to amaze me with their generosity, resilience, love and wisdom as they journey through life. This month I thought I would share some of Beattie’s wisdom to perhaps inspire you on your own journey to the heart.

What Are You Resisting The Most? Be open to the whole journey, all parts of it. Is there a feeling, a person, a thought or a project that you have been avoiding or refusing to deal with? Your most valuable lessons may well come from the things you’re resisting the most.

Give Freely Give freely of your time, your heart, your joy, your wisdom. Share your experiences,

Change Is In The Air Change is the way nature, the universe, the Divine moves us through our life’s journey. We are led to our next lesson, our next adventure. There’s no need to deny change, to fear it or to fight against it. Change is inevitable. Allow it to happen.

Joy Will Find You Joy is a gift. It appears almost imperceptibly, without warning, like the morning sunrise that lights your bedroom window as you wake. Take part in activities that bring healing and growth into your life. Keep loving yourself. Keep walking your path. Don’t worry about finding joy, because somewhere along your journey, joy will find you.

Recharge Your Battery Rest when you’re tired. Take a break when life grows stale. Energy isn’t something you have; it’s something you are. Taking time to rest, renew and refresh yourself isn’t wasted time. Choose what energizes you: nature, a song, the voice of a friend, a nap, a hot bath, a cup of tea, a favorite poem, a walk, a movie that makes you laugh, a prayer, a book that speaks to your soul. Let your work and love come from a vital spirit.

Grand Lifestyles | August 2016 | grandinfo.com

Don’t Worry Worrying doesn’t help and the only thing it does is prevent our joy. Our worries are fear. The lesson is trust. When we’re trusting, we let go of our fear, confident that what we want and need will come. Trust that whatever troubles come our way, we will get what need to get through them. Love yourself enough to stop worrying. Love yourself enough to give yourself the gift of peace. If you worry, why pray. If you pray, why worry.

Discover The Power Of Stillness Stillness is different from solitude or aloneness; different from shutting off all electronic devices or speaking softly. Stillness is a place within you. Slow down. Breathe deeply. Get quiet. Become familiar with stillness. From the place of stillness, you can move into the present moment, and there you will find power.

Ground Yourself So much of our growth is spiritual, but the higher we travel on spiritual planes, the more we need to ground ourselves deep into the earth. Touch the things that grow in the earth. Walk barefoot on the grass or sit on the ground. You are a soul, a spirit, but you have a body too. Connect with what is physical, connect with the energy of the earth. Let your spiritual growth be grounded in daily life and the things of earth. Then, you’ll be able to soar. 19

FROM THE FITNESS MANAGER

Hydration Requirements for Active Seniors Allison Adams Fitness Manager 623-546-7463 Allison.Adams@ scgcam.com

Contributed by Charles Crevequer Personal Trainer

As our Arizona temperatures increase, we who are active 50+ exercisers need to pay special attention to our hydration and our electrolytes. We have often heard that thirst should be our guide to proper hydration, but that advice becomes dangerous as we age. When older adults exercise, especially in hot, dry climates, our sensation of thirst diminishes. And we know that “normal” thirst kicks in only after you are already dehydrated. So waiting for thirst may lead to heat-related illnesses.

Proper Hydration Becomes Even More Important as We Age Concomitantly, aging causes other changes in normal physiology that increase our risk of dehydration. Our sweat rate changes, kidney function alters fluid transport and changes in levels of electrolytes and blood flow responses become different. All these normal changes means that we must constantly be aware of our hydration needs and create and implement strategies to keep us sufficiently hydrated during the physiological stress of exercise. To add to the complexity of hydration, many 50+ athletes take medications that contribute to the loss of body water. Chief amongst the drugs are blood pressure medications that also act as diuretics, increasing water loss. When you add other common drugs, caffeine and alcohol, both which are mild diuretics, hydration becomes even more critical. Unfortunately there is no simple test to assess hydration levels. Until such telemetry is created, the best strategy is to weigh yourself before and after exercise. For every pound in weight loss, try to 22

consume between 16 and 24 ounces per hour during and after exercise. If you gain weight after working out, it means you are most likely over-hydrating; but a loss of one pound or less means you are doing pretty well at replenishing fluids. Another way to assess hydration is by monitoring urine volume and color. Dark-colored urine usually means you are dehydrated (although some dietary supplements like vitamins with a high concentration of riboflavin can cause a bright-colored urine as well). So does infrequent urination. However, be cognizant that prescription drugs can affect urine color and volume too.

Why Plain Water Is Not Enough When you exercise, your body loses water, but it also loses electrolytes like sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and chloride. While all electrolytes are important to your body’s function and performance, sodium is by far the most important electrolyte, because a decrease in your body’s sodium concentration can have some extremely negative consequences. These range from just not feeling well to seizures, excessive urination, incontinence and even death. There can be anywhere from 400 mg to 1200 mg of sodium in each liter of sweat. Since sweat has both fluid and

electrolytes in it, drinking water alone (especially distilled water) can be really dangerous. This is the fastest way to decrease or dilute your body’s concentration of sodium. If you’re exercising and you find yourself urinating a lot and feeling ill, you may be

hyponatremic and need to rehydrate with something with more sodium in it. Most sports drinks contain water, electrolytes and some form of sugar to provide a small source of energy to help maintain blood sugar and fuel working muscle. Unfortunately, most sports drinks also contain artificial colors, flavoring agents, artificial sweeteners and preservatives, as well as other strange ingredients that you need to take an organic chemistry class to figure out. I believe it likely that these excess ingredients also cause people to become sick when they use them. So if you are perspiring a lot and need to rehydrate with something that replaces what you lose without consuming excessive ingredients, I suggest a drink like Skratch Labs Exercise Hydration Mix or Nuun Active Hydration.

A Sample Protocol Below are some of my own protocols that help me stay hydrated: n I aim to drink about 20 oz of water/ electrolytes per hour of training. I set th stopwatch function on my watch for ten-minute intervals, and drink about 3 ounces each alarm; n I also carry one or two 10 oz plastic bottles of Essentia pH 9.5 alkaline water with a tablespoon of organic honey in each. I take very small sips of from these every 20 or so minutes, n I take Huma energy gels, one gel every hour, and lastly, I utilize home-made protein bars as my solid food source during my workouts. If you are looking to improve your training, you have to start by ensuring that your hydration keeps pace. In addition to strength training, I also participate in triathlons and trail runs. I have to dial it in pretty precisely, especially at age 68. If you have any questions that you would like me to address, text me on 623-337-3558, email me at trixcellence@ lycos.com or look for me at the SCG Cimarron or Adobe Fitness Centers.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE ELECTION COMMITTEE

ONLINE VOTING UPDATE Last month I wrote to inform you that we were beginning the work to provide Sun City Grand the opportunity to vote electronically in the very near future. We are well on our way, and have been investigating all avenues to enable us to recommend to the Board of Directors that online voting should become the norm for our community. The Online Voting Ad-Hoc Committee, which consists of Diane Hammann and Joan Mattick from the Election Committee, General Manager Ken Olson, Technology Coordinator Mark Jibilian, Board Treasurer Larry Marden and Board Member Bob Aiken, has completed many interviews with HOAs across the country who have been using online voting. Many great testimonials from these users helped us to better understand the challenges faced and the benefits realized by associations similar to ours. Several of the reported benefits include: n Online voting increased participation. n Less expensive for residents and the Association. n Should include mail-in voting for those who choose. n Access to voting for those who are traveling. n Less dependent upon postal service (winter residents). 26

n n n

Easy process. Reliable, accurate, and timely information. All information secure and verifiable.

Were there challenges? Absolutely… Some reported were: n Accuracy of email addresses provided by residents. n Trust by residents of a new system and/or program. n Communication is key to successful transition. n Training for residents (need for “demo stations”). n Dedicated email address for resident questions. n Dealing with residents who own multiple lots. n 100% accuracy is a must. During the month of July, we have been interviewing several online voting vendors who come highly recommended

ELECTRONICALLY

throughout the HOA industry. Our challenge will be to narrow the field to a reasonable quantity to enable us to produce request for bid proposals from those we feel can best meet our needs. Upon completion of that process, we should be able to provide our Board of Directors a recommendation by the September Board Workshop. That is when we will begin to really communicate !! We anticipate being able to begin asking residents to sign up for online voting in September and will be able to provide specific steps to complete this process. We promise to keep it as easy as possible. If you do not want to use this tool right away, we will still be offering the same paper ballots as in the past, so no one will be left out of the opportunity to vote. The journey towards total online voting will not be a short one, but it will provide a benefit to all who participate and to Sun City Grand.

Should you have any questions, suggestions, or would like to assist during this fall’s introduction of online voting to fellow residents, please feel free to contact any member of the Election Committee. ELECTRONICALLY Thank you. Bob Aiken Chairman, Election Committee Grand Lifestyles | August 2016 | grandinfo.com

From Jim Croce to Dan Fogelberg, and Carole King to James Taylor, Time in a Bottle presents an unforgettable two hours of some of the greatest American music to come from the 1970s. From the end of the 1960s, it became common to divide mainstream rock music into soft and hard rock with both emerging as major genres of popular music. In the early ‘70s, rock music mellowed creating the distinctive, laid-back sound of soft rock. The smooth and easy feeling this music inspires is perfect for life’s most meaningful moments. Quite simply, these are the song that just make you feel good! Time in a Bottle re-creates the best of the soft rock era rocking you gently with the hits of Jim Croce, Carole King, James Taylor, America, Dan Fogelberg, Neil Young, Gordon Lightfoot and many more amazing singer/songwriters. $18/person Front of House | $15/person Back of House 6:30 p.m. Cash Bar | 7 p.m. Performance | Sonoran Plaza

ASK CAPPIE THE COMPUTER CAT Dear Cappie, You keep advising us to use good strong passwords and not use the same password for all applications and websites. What do you consider a “good” password and what is your solution for remembering all the passwords for every app and website? Cheri, Susie, Tater & Tot Dear Cheri, Susie, Tater & Tot, A strong password should be 8 (minimum) to 16 characters long (some experts recommend no fewer than 12 characters) and contain upper and lower case letters, characters, numbers, and symbols. The word you use should not be the user’s name, and preferably the word should not be found in the dictionary (since many hacker programs use dictionary algorithms to crack password codes). All passwords should be changed regularly and be significantly different from previous passwords used. The rationale in not using the same password for all your online accounts is that if someone cracks the code for one site, he or she then has the ability to breach all of your accounts. If you use the same password for your online banking and buying, social media, gaming, saving data and photos to the cloud, etc., the hacker can wreak havoc by accessing all your accounts using that same password. Your online security is only as strong as its weakest link. For example, let’s say that you install a free little game app on your device, and that app was developed by a felon or by a novice. If you use the same password on that app AND on a banking app, you have a problem if the felon uses your password to look through your other accounts OR if the novice developer didn’t build in strong deterrents to thwart criminals from mining his or her data. Cappie acknowledges that strong passwords can be difficult to remember

manager should also have the option of online backup so your information and passwords can be restored easily. The app should be able to evaluate the passwords you already have, determine if those passwords are secure, and if not, alert you to update them.

PASSWORD

TIPS

unless written down. Cappie does suggest that if you do list them, do so offline on an external thumb drive or on paper, and secure them adequately through encryption apps or using some type of code only you understand. Another option popular today is to use a password manager app which creates strong passwords for which you only need to know one password—a master password--to access the remainder of your passwords. This way, you only need to create one strong password on your own, but the drawback is that you must make sure you can remember it. Password managers don’t save master passwords or save a password hint, so if you forget your master password, you’ll lose access to all your data. While there are a lot of password manager apps on the market, some criteria you should consider before purchasing are how easy is it for you to use; its ability to sync across all platforms including all the different browsers and devices that you use; does it have the ability to use a biometric login (which means that you can use your fingerprint, as when you access your phone, instead of a password)? In the event you lose your device or it gets stolen, the password

“Two-Factor Authentication” is very useful as well--especially for sites you want to be extra secure. This optional feature requires that after you enter your password, you receive an additional text message or phone call immediately with another code that must also be entered to get into the website. In case someone does steal your password, he or she still cannot get in because the second code will go directly to your text messenger or phone call, and until you enter this time-sensitive string of digits, the site cannot be accessed. This is nice to have especially for your banking and purchasing sites. A few excellent passcode managers that meet all or most of the above mentioned criteria are (in alphabetical order): Dashlane, LastPass, LogmeOnce, and Stickey Password. They all have free and premium (pay) versions. Cappie suggests that you check the websites of each to see how they work and try the free version first before you commit to monthly payments. If you do minimal online transactions or just have few devices to sync, the free versions work adequately. Cappie suggests that whether you use a Password Manager or create your own strong passwords, never share your passwords (or Master Password) with others or leave them visible on or near your computer, tablet, or smartphone. (An added advantage of using a passcode manager is that it provides a way for a designee to access your accounts but only if you are incapacitated.) Having explained all this, remember that the most elaborate security can be breached by simple human errors or careless behaviors.

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF GOLF OPERATIONS

K UIC Q

S T C FA O T G OLF C

Presented by the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America

Jeff Hochman Director of Golf Operations 623-546-7402 jeff.hochman@ scgcam.com

1. A properly repaired ball mark heals completely in 2-3 days, while an unrepaired ball mark takes 15-20 days to heal properly. 2. A typical 18-hole golf course covers approximately 125 - 150 acres of land. The total landmass of golf courses in the United States equals about 1/2 the state of Connecticut. 3. A typical 18-hole golf course produces enough oxygen to support 4,000 to 7,000 people. 4. Golf courses nationwide combine to filter 13 million tons of dust from the air every year. 5. Golf courses have a cooling effect during the hot summer months. The average temperature on the golf course in typically 5- 7 degrees cooler than a residential area and 7 - 15 degrees cooler than an urban downtown setting. 6. The infield of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is home to four holes of the Brickyard Crossing golf course. The remaining 14 holes outside the oval are accessed through a tunnel under the track. 7. Golf courses delay play on frostcovered turf (especially greens) because stepping on frost-covered grass causes the frozen leaf cells to rupture. The turf will turn brown and eventually die. 48

8. The Old Works Golf Course in Anaconda, Mont., is the first golf course built on an Environmental Protection Agency Superfund Site. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, the land served as a smelting location for the mining of iron ore. The golf course opened in June of 1997. 9. Why do golf course superintendents aerate turf? Because it reduces compaction on a golf course by removing soil cores from the ground, allowing the movement of water, air and nutrients to the turf roots. Highly traveled areas plus poor soil composition creates compacted surfaces. 10. What is the origin of the stimpmeter? In the early 1900s, a man by the name of Edward Stimpson was looking for a means to create more fairness in the game of golf. Specifically, he was looking to make putting surfaces on a particular course all relatively the same speed. He developed the stimpmeter to achieve this purpose. By using this device, he could determine, for example, if the fourth green was the same speed as the 17th. The device is often misused and misinterpreted by the novice and avid golfer alike. It is best used to compare greens on the same course, NOT to compare greens from one course to another. 11. How much has technology and research improved speed and quality of a putting green? In the early 1960s, professional tour event superintendents cut putting green turf heights at about 1/4 inch. Today, the height of putting green turf for professional tournament competition is 1/8 inch or less.

12. How do trees affect the quality of a putting surface? All things being equal, a putting green with air circulating around it will be in better shape than a green with little or no air circulation. Trees tend to reduce circulation, thereby having a negative effect on putting green quality. Older, more mature trees adjacent to putting greens will negatively impact surface conditions because the tree roots will grow under the putting surface and disrupt the flow of water and nutrients. 13. What is a golf course superintendent doing when he/she syringes a green? Syringing is the process of spraying a light cover of water on a green during hot weather to reduce the temperature of the turf. This prevents putting surfaces from becoming “baked” and “dried-out,” and having a negative impact on putting surface quality. 14. What is topdressing? It is the practice of spreading material over a putting green to level and smooth the surface. The material is generally sand and/ or organic matter that improves drainage, controls thatch and maintains biological balance. 15. Since its emergence as a major spectator sport in the 1920s, the game of golf has provided lifelong recreational opportunities and enjoyment for millions. Beyond its sport and recreational value, golf is a major industry that generates jobs, commerce, economic development and tax revenues for communities throughout the country. The national golf economy was $76 billion at last count in 2005, and the total economic impact of golf in America in 2005 was $195 billion, including direct, indirect and induced impacts.

CITY OF SUPRISE UPDATE

BOND ISSUE, BUDGET AND PROPERTY TAX

On June 21, Surprise City Council approved a resolution ordering and calling a special election for November 8, Jim Biundo 2016, to submit to Vice Mayor voters one question Council Member, authorizing the District 2 issuance and sale of $63 million dollars of general obligation bonds. The action came after a series of public hearings and considerable discussion. The initiative first was deliberated in Spring, 2015, but was postponed due to several factors, including the Dysart School District override having been placed on last year’s ballot. Council reviewed the projects that had been recommended the previous year by the citizen Capital Improvement Funding Exploratory Committee. Subsequently, Council agreed to include nine projects in a bond package: n Fire Station 308. To be located on City-owned property at Litchfield and Cactus Road. Will serve the heart of the City’s industrial area. Cost: $6.3m. n Fire Station 304. To be located on City-owned property at 163rd and Happy Valley Road. Replaces current

temporary facility. Cost: $7.6m. n

Police Property and Evidence Facility. To be located on Cityowned property at Litchfield, north of Bell Road. Cost: $2.9m.

Public Works Operations Facility. To be located on Cityowned property at the South Water Reclamation Facility. Cost: $4.6m.

Greenway Road. Build two travel lanes in each direction just west and east of 303. Add sidewalks, bike lanes, landscaping, lighting. Cost: $5.1m.

Litchfield Road. Complete last remaining segment from Sweetwater to Desert Cove. Cost: $3.4m.

Recreation Complex. Land for future Recreation Center/Fieldhouse, soccer and softball fields, volleyball and basketball courts, playgrounds, walking paths, landscaping. Cost: $19.1m.

Aquatic Facility. To be located on City-owned property east of Bullard. Eight-lane, 50 meter pool with bleachers for up to 1,200 spectators. Large turf area for events. Cost: $10m.

Land for Public Safety. Purchase land in southwest portion of City primarily for Public Safety parking to improve response times. Cost: $4m.

Of twelve cities in the region, Surprise is only one of two cities that has been without a secondary property tax, the other being Buckeye. The adoption of the bond initiative puts in motion the process for a General Election ballot question in November to approve General Obligation bonds. Following notification of the County Elections Department, the City will request arguments for and against the authorization and prepare a voter information pamphlet for distribution. The financial impact on a homeowner with a $200,000 assessed value home is determined to be $100 annually for an anticipated twenty years. Language of the bond will be one question: “Shall Surprise be authorized to incur debt of $63 million. 5 Public Safety Projects ($25.4 Million) 2 Recreation Projects ($29.1 Million) 2 Transportation Projects ($8.5 Million)” If the bond proposal is approved by voters, $63 million will be provided for design and construction of the projects. Ongoing operational costs will be incorporated into future budgets. The FY17 budget includes $6 million in contingency to begin work on the projects. To assure accountability, the bond package

Grand Lifestyles | August 2016 | grandinfo.com

accounting budget will be segregated from other budgets. The Audit Committee, which consists of the Finance Director, Chief Information Officer, two Council Members, and three members of the community, will provide ongoing oversight. An audit will be conducted annually. Property Tax. At a Special City Council Meeting, consideration was given to increasing the primary property tax rate from the current $.7591 to $.8059 per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation. After lengthy, spirited debate, a motion to increase the property tax rate failed. The three voting FOR AN INCREASE were Sharon Wolcott, Todd Tande, and Rachel Villanueva. The three voting AGAINST AN INCREASE were Jim Biundo, Skip Hall, and Roland Winters. A motion resulting in a tie vote fails. A subsequent motion to leave the primary property tax rate at its current rate of $.7591 carried. It is important to note that at no time did the hiring of Public Safety personnel (Police and Fire-Medical) hinge solely on increasing the property tax rate. Budget. Council approved a $271 million dollar Fiscal Year 2017 budget. It includes $53 million dollars for capital improvements to preserve and/ or replace aging infrastructure, funding for fifty new positions (including twenty-two additional Police and Fire-Medical personnel and eleven to take over the wastewater billing from American Water), an additional $1 million dollars in the Reserve Fund, merit pay increases for all employees, and 11.7% overall average increase in operational funds for all departments. All this was accomplished with no increase in sales tax, no implementation of a food tax, and no increase in the property tax rate.

Sunburn Issues for Plants and Trees

This Article was provided by Mike Secrist from Gothic Grounds Management

August is not only the month of Monsoons; it is the month for heat. Citrus tree trunks need to be protected from the Sun or they may crack and stress the tree. There are 3 ways to protect the tree trunk. White paint can be applied and this is like using sun block. Allow the lower limbs to grow and shade the trunk is another way. If you do not like the appearance of lower growing limbs, there is a third way. The third method is to wrap the trunk with breathable white material that is available at most garden centers. This is like wearing a long sleeve shirt in the sun. Try to avoid trimming plant material in July or August because the new tender growth can be burned by the sun. Heavier trimming will also expose the previously shaded growth

underneath. This may cause browning of the foliage. Do not be mislead and think that increasing the amount of irrigation water will fix the sun burn appearance of the plant. Only the cooler temperatures and the new growth will correct the sad look of the plant or tree.

Tip for August Hopefully we receive some Monsoon rains to help wash away the salts that have accumulated around our plants. If enough rain is not received, you may need to run the irrigation system long enough to leach away the salts that have built up. This leaching along with slowly cooling temperature will help the plant material recover from the summer heat. 51

October 20, 21, 22 at 7 PM n October 23 at 3PM “PLAZA SUITE” Written by Neil Simon – Directed by Eileen Brooks Hilarity abounds in this portrait of three couples successively occupying a suite at the Plaza. A suburban couple take the suite while their house is being painted and it turns out to be the one in which they honeymooned years before. This wry tale of marriage in tatters is followed by the exploits of a Hollywood producer who, after three marriages, is looking for fresh fields. He calls a childhood sweetheart for a little sexual diversion who is more than the match he bargained for. The last couple is a mother and father fighting about the best way to get their daughter out of the bathroom and down to the ballroom where guests await her, or as Mother yells, “I want you to get out of that bathroom and get married!” Sonoran Plaza ~ Cash Bar for evening performances.

Her guests (nearly all women) return year after year. Her next door neighbor, the elderly, silver-tongued Bud “Bud the Stud” Davis believes they come to spend time with him in romantic liaisons. The prim and proper Mrs. Stancliffe steadfastly denies this, but really doesn’t do anything to prevent it. She reluctantly accepts the fact that “Bud the Stud” is, in fact, good for business. Her other neighbor and would-be suitor Henry Mitchell is a retired chemist who has developed a blue pill called “Venusia,” after Venus, the goddess of love, to increase the libido of menopausal women.
