ASSOCIATION
A Busy Summer in Corte Bella This summer has been busy at Corte Bella. Several committees are working on a large, long term plan to improve some existing facilities, including the possible expansion of others. Learn more about this by attending meetings of the Buildings and Grounds and Long Term Planning Committees if interested. Monthly Board Meetings are also a good venue to be updated on what is happening in Corte Bella.
Mike Arrington, General Manager
The Las Positas turf retention basin, adjacent to Deer Valley Road, received new curbing and decorative granite replacement early in the summer. Corte Bella’s 17.5 miles of asphalt streets and parking lots received a full crack sealing and seal coating effort. Additionally, some older streets, built back in the initial phases of Corte Bella, were reconstructed. All crosswalks were redone in “ladder� style to stand out to traffic. The street project cost nearly half a million dollars and was last done about five years ago.
All iron fencing along Deer Valley Road and both vehicle gates were painted a nice glossy black. All 700 plus Palm Trees were trimmed in August. Thirty brand new chairs were added to the Lanai seating area. A rehab of the pool complex including deck replacement is scheduled for the month of October and the pool will be closed for construction most of the month. This major operation will exceed $100,000 in cost. The Corte Bella 2020 Budget will be completed, approved by the board and presented to the community in an evening meeting on October 3rd in the social hall. By now, the Community Reserve Study has been completed and incorporated into the budget as well. The Annual Audit has been completed. All HD cameras were replaced at both entry gates. This equipment was donated by one of our fine residents, who wished to remain anonymous.

Board Talk We know you are out there! A few months ago at our 2019 annual meeting, I announced that I would not be serving the final year (6th) of my term on the board as your president. David Saulnier stepped up and was voted in as President
Michael McVeigh, Vice President CBCCA unanimously by the board. This transition works best when we all work as a team.
As your Vice-president, I agreed to take on an additional responsibility to help build a better volunteer bench for all of our committees going forward. The success of our community for the past fifteen years has been largely due to these committees, but more importantly – the committees’ leadership. Each year, April is recognized as National Volunteer Recognition Month. We need your help now. We have at least four committees that have been led by volunteers that have been in chair or cochair positions for two or three years. If you attended our 2019 Annual Membership Meeting, you saw first-hand what our talented volunteers can do to make a difference for all of Corte Bella. We saw presentations by Board Liaisons, Committee Chairs/Co-chairs and members on the outstanding work they did in 2018 and what ambitious plans they have for 2019. Most attendees saw presentations while I saw team work, creative thinking and leadership in motion. Our volunteers place the good of others above self and this dedication puts them in a very special family. These are the folks that don’t just wait for things to happen; they make things
happen. Please consider adding your name to the Corte Bella volunteer leadership ranks and learn how we can “help you help us.” Read this article again and think about contacting us to offer your talents. We know you are out there - Come aboard! Contact me at any time, at mmcveigh3@cox.net / 623-433-9921.
From the Editor’s Desk Linda Wright September returns with the promise of cooler days and beautiful nights. Those of us who live in Corte Bella year round are especially glad that summer is winding down and the daily temperatures will give us a break from the heat. This month is considered the first month of autumn and it is traditionally the start of the “season” for our community. Our part time residents will soon begin to filter back in and Corte Bella life will be busier. Take a look at the events and activities that are happening in this month and are in the immediate pipeline through the rest of this year. Enjoy participating in Corte Bella life. We are truly so very fortunate to live in this beautiful community. Hope to see you on September 11th, Patriot Day, for the walk around the circle.

COMMITTEE
Corte Bella Long-Term Plan: Mission Statement 2 Chuck Hokans, Long Term Planning Committee/Finance Committee Member Mission Statement 2: Ensure sound and sustainable fiscal and operational practices. Before readers hit the “snooze button”, Mission Statement 2 goes to the heart of how Corte Bella chooses to manage its financial assets. As of May 31, 2019, Corte Bella Country Club Association (CBCCA) has total assets of $5,968,196. The 2019 projected gross operating income (HOA dues/other income) is $4,293,963 and the 2019 budgeted operating expenditures are $4,359,028, including a non-cash expense for depreciation of $65,347. Reserve Fund investments are $4,133,329. CBCCA is a multi-million dollar, notfor-profit small business/municipality generating significant annual cash flow with substantial assets and significant annual operating expenses. It is vital that our HOA’s funds are managed in the best interests of all homeowners.
Goal 1: Maintain and enhance the financial safety/soundness of the Corte Bella Country Club Association.
CBCCA has a chartered Finance Committee chaired by Dan Kronlund. This committee has the following additional members: Roy Ikenberry, Vice Chair; Joel Block, Investment Subcommittee Chair; Chuck Hokans, Steve Hurst, Tom Cerney and Tom Stenzel. Mike Arrington, First Service Residential General Manager, CBCCA’s Treasurer Kathy Carmickle and Board Liaison, Steve Michaud are also attendees. Finance Committee members come from a variety of backgrounds with expertise in banking, financial consulting, investments, accounting and business management. The committee’s primary responsibility is to assist the CBCCA Board in the prudent management of CBCCA funds under governance provided by the CBCCA Board of Directors, Arizona Statutes and Corte Bella’s CC&R’s.
The Finance Committee established nine objectives to provide direction, guidance and measurement to meet the challenges posed by Goal 1. •
Prepare an annual operating budget for revenue, expenses, reserves and capital.
•
Ensure compliance with financial policies and procedures.
•
Incorporate HOA Board-approved capital improvement projects into the annual budget process.
•
Perform a monthly review of performance versus the budget.
•
Ensure that an annual audit is performed by a certified firm.
•
Initiate an annual Reserve Study.
•
Periodically review the HOA fee assessment and make appropriate recommendations concerning the fee to the HOA Board.
•
Establish an Investment Subcommittee within the Finance Committee.
•
Develop a community operating plan focused on revenue growth and service.

* Net after Departments is used when the Department has Revenue and Expenses. Summary: June Net Deficit to budget is unfavorable ($14,821). All Dept’s were unfavorable to budget except Admin and Fitness Center favorable $1,757 and $1,828, respectively. June through mid September is always slow after seasonal residents head out and summer travel begins for year round residents. The departments with the largest negative variances (although by small amounts) included the HOA Events, due to less events than budgeted; Restauarant, fully related to less outside banquets and related food and beverage sales; and the Spa, having a negative ($252) vs. budget for surplus $1,828, primarily due to massage revenue under budget and related expense over budget. Year to date (YTD, the total Net Surplus is $106,856 vs.
surplus budget of $26,668. The most significant surplus is in the Facilities Expense - $68,844 under budget, related to payroll and water/sewer $35,778 and $47,561, respectively. The other more significant bright spot continues to be the Restauarant, which remains at a $20,612 net income despite carrying the payroll burden for the HOA Social Events of approximately $54,000. With summer heat and humidity returning, revenues in the Restaurant and HOA decline and expenses related to cooling, landscaping, and maintenace increase. But as of today, the state of the HOA is very good!

Observe Patriot Day with Corte Bella Vets Larry Leighton September 11th is Patriot Day, observed as the National Day of Service and Remembrance in memory of the people killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and the airplane crash in Stoneycreek Township, PA.
Corte Bella Vets will host our annual remembrance at the HOA flag pole at 7:00 AM. (Patriotic music will start at 6:30 AM.) Immediately following the ceremony, residents and guests are invited to participate in the “walk-around the circle” and cool down with a light breakfast at the Anacapa. Tickets ($5.00) on
sale in the Fitness center are required for the breakfast snack. The ceremony and walk are free of charge. Units of the North County Fire and Medical Authority will conduct the Fire Fighters’ “Bell Ceremony” or “The Ringing of the Bell”. Members of the Surprise Police Department and the Maricopa County Sherriff’s Posse will be in attendance. The American Legion Post 94 Honor Guard will provide Taps and the riffle volley. The “inside lanes” (closest to the flag pole) of the North Carrera and North Mission Drives will be closed from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM. All traffic will be re-routed through the Golf Club/HOA parking lot. Attacks killed 2,996 people, injured over 6,000 others, and caused at least ten billion dollars in infrastructure and property damage. September 11th was the single deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement officers in the history of the United States, with 343 injured and 72 killed. The United States of America flag should be flown at half-staff as a mark of respect for those who died on September 11, 2001. Many people observe a moment of silence at 8:46 AM (Eastern Daylight Time), as this marks the time the first plane flew into the World Trade Center.

A Special Kind of Person – Sara Morris Barbara Morin This month’s featured Anacapa employee is Sara Morris. This coming October marks her second year working in the restaurant. Her primary responsibility is being a server, but she’s always eager to assist in other areas if the need arises. Sara is a native of Arizona and attends Arizona State University. She’s a junior and studies nutrition and kinesiology, the scientific study of human or non-human body movement. (I’ll admit I had to look it up to get the correct definition.) Her goal is to get a doctorate in physical therapy and work with athletes, in pediatric therapy and with special needs kids. This comes from an inspiration she acquired in high school when the athletic trainer allowed her to assist with rehabilitation of football players. Sara has been an active participant for athletes and their special needs. Groups such as “Best Buddies” and “Friendship Walks” help the mentally and physically challenged. As it turns out, her training and expertise will soon be of value within her own family. When her father had his knee replaced a few years ago she saw first-hand the physical therapy needed for him to return to functional ability. Soon he’ll be having his other knee done and will have the good fortune of an in-house physical therapist! Like so many others, Sara enjoys the friendly atmosphere the Anacapa has to offer. Important to the success of any dining facility, it’s more than a dining room away from home. It’s been said that a restaurant’s atmosphere sets the stage. Food takes the spotlight and the guests are the audience. The next time you visit the Anacapa please take time to say “Hi” and wish Sara all the best in each and every one of her future endeavors.

Corte Bella Music Group (Acoustic) Donna Norton It is Wednesday night and Mila Bigelow is loading up her ukulele and guitar for another get together at Greg Peck’s house. The songs to be practiced during the evening will include several that will be performed at a Heritage Tradition concert on an up-coming Tuesday afternoon. Having met different musicians in the group she now calls “friends,” the experience has been enriching. The acoustic instrument group here in Corte Bella has been playing together for a few years now, with members selecting songs for the group to consider and then determining the appropriate “key” for playing based on what sounds best. They welcome any new members willing to spend a couple of hours on Wednesday evenings at either Greg’s home or in the Corte Bella social hall. Please call Greg Peck at 602-657-3950 if you are interested in joining in the fall.

What’s Happening in Corte Bella For Pam Lawrence, compiled by Linda Wright Corte Bella’s Independence Day Celebration
July 4 It was a wonderful 243st birthday party for the USA right here in Corte Bella. Everyone at the event enjoyed delicious food prepared by the Anacapa. The Faded Jeans band had everyone on the dance floor, song after song. Corte Bella did the country proud with this one.
Jason Love’s Comedy Show July 19 It was a packed house again for a night of chuckles and belly laughs. This show never disappoints. A group of very funny comedians from the LA comedy scene traveled here to entertain us with good, clean comedy. It was great fun.
Cool Off with Friends Ice Cream Social July 28
Scottsdale Musical Theater Show – The Pajama Game July 13 The All Aboard America bus carried thirty some Corte Bella residents to the other side of the valley to enjoy a delicious lunch at Rigatoni’s followed by a very enjoyable Scottsdale Musical Theater production of “The Pajama Game” at the beautiful Tempe Arts Center.
It’s a Corte Bella tradition and once again, this was a very popular and well attended event. Thank you to the HOA Board and Management for providing this every summer to bring our community together during the hot weather for socializing and some tasty treats.
If you’d like to see more photos from any of these events, please go to the Corte Bella website photo gallery under the Life Style tab in the Main Menu bar.

Corte Bella Pickleball News Robin Mandell Current Membership: 220 For Pickleball Club members - and everyone in the community - we wanted to let you know about some enhancements to the covered lanai area. The Corte Bella HOA Board approved, ordered, and installed thirty new comfortable chairs (see photo on right.) This is great, not only for our Pickleball players, but also for tennis players, bocce ball players, yappy hour attendees, future residents, walkers, runners, etc. We all appreciate it. Thank you, HOA Board members. To help keep things cool during the late spring/summer/early fall months, the Pickleball Club purchased a new Portable Evaporative Cooler, otherwise known as a Swamp Cooler. This thing really works it immediately cools down the lanai area. Enjoy.
Experience matters. Let us show you why. Come see how good it feels to have experience on your side. Please call The Heritage Tradition today to schedule your complimentary lunch & tour.

Corte Bella Tennis Club News Donna Norton Corte Bella resident Fang Ge, wife of Henry Bleile, came to the United States from China five years ago. Interested in learning more about both her neighbors and a game she thought she might like, she joined the Corte Bella Tennis Club. She started attending the FREE tennis clinics on Wednesday mornings. Although Fang Ge in action not always certain what she was hearing, she watched the other participants and quickly followed their lead. When the clinics ended for the summer months, she decided to keep up her practice utilizing Corte Bella ball machine and ball carrier/hopper to work on her stroke.
Corte Bella Tennis Club will continue offering FREE tennis clinics every Wednesday morning at 7:00 AM beginning mid-September. If interested, contact Donna Norton at donnaenorton@gmail. com or call 602-657-3949. Additionally, we welcome Corte Bella residents to “drop-in” to play tennis on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Corte Bella has men and women’s teams that play in the West Valley Tennis Leagues including our sister communities (Sun City, Sun City West, Sun City Grand, Trilogy, Pebble Creek, Happy Trails, and Arizona Festival.) If interested in joining one of the teams, please contact us for further details. We welcome anyone interested in a sport for all ages!
Corte Bella Golf Club News Debbie Parks-Dube The summer will be coming to an end so we will begin our annual over seeding of the golf course. This year, we will be closed for over seeding from September 30th to October 17th. Those of you that are new to Arizona may not be familiar with the over seeding process. This process takes place on the golf courses and in most common area grass in residential communities. Most people enjoy seeing beautiful green grass all year long. If we do not over seed, the grass would be dormant and brown all winter long. The base grass here at Corte Bella is Bermuda grass. However, Bermuda will not stay green all year long and this is why we over seed the golf course with Rye grass. The Bermuda grass will be cut down very short and then Rye grass will be dropped over the top of it. Once the Rye is dropped and receives plenty of water for a few weeks, beautiful grass appears. The new Rye grass will remain all winter long until the temperatures start creeping up near 100 degrees in the late Spring. At that time, the Bermuda grass, which has been dormant but alive under the
Rye grass, will start to thrive with the heat and will take over the golf course again. This process makes for a green golf course all year long! Remember to come by for a meal at the golf course or to shop in the golf shop.
