2012

can be viewed as the year of progress and change for Somersett Owners Association. Several critical events occurred over the course of the year that have significantly impacted the community and association. As we head into 2013, we all hope these events will continue to shape the community into a thriving place where everyone can truly say, “It’s great to be Home!”

At the start of 2012, the Association had approximately $460,000 in the operating account and $2,537,000 in the reserve accounts. There were 120 accounts in collections and net homeowner delinquency at $337,000. The Association was in far better shape compared to the start of 2011 when there was only $90,000 in operating and $1,519,000 in reserves. Heading into 2013, there is approximately $100,000 in operating, $3 million in reserves, and net delinquency at $180, 000. Additionally, there is roughly $145,000 in the capital contributions account.

Over the course of the year, the Board continued to push the collection companies to improve account receivables. In June, the Association foreclosed on 39 lots within the community. This event was significant as the association was able to clear up over $230,000 in delinquency, while putting the lots on the market for a price that would cover all of the out of pocket expenses and recoup some of the delinquent assessments. The selling of the lots to another party actually puts the Association in a positive cash position when all is said and done.

The funding of the reserves has always been a concern of the Association and Board; especially in previous years when there was not enough operating cash to make the monthly transfers to the reserve accounts. The 2011 Audit resulted in additional surpluses, above the budget

18 SOA 22 Sierra Canyon 23 January + February Calendar

amount rolled over into 2012, in each of the cost centers. These surpluses were transferred to the reserves in the amounts of $108,800 to General Common, $86,800 to Club at Town Center, and $32,250 to Private Streets/Gates.

The final critical event was the turnover of control from developer to homeowners with the election of five homeowners to the Board of Directors. Ray Lee, Tony Fakonas, Curtis Chan, Danielle Kirby, and David Hughes were elected with over 1200 owners casting their votes. The official transition of control occurred January 1, 2013. Moving forward, there will be an election each year at the annual meeting.

In addition to these events, the Association set a goal of improving communications between the Board and homeowners. A Communications Committee was created to work with the Board in relaying important information to homeowners and concerns/ideas from homeowners back to the Board. One focus of the committee was to increase the number of email addresses the association had on file to send various communications out to. Unique owner emails increased from 865 to 1,147 for event & programming related communications and from 363 to 745 for electronic association communications in lieu of hard copy mailings. We hope to continue to expand the communications efforts into 2013.

There is still a lot of work ahead for 2013 as the new board transitions into control, but we know that there are plenty of owners who are ready and willing to work with the Association to continue to make Somersett the best community in Northern Nevada to live.

T

he past year was one full of project and change around the Club at Town Center with a full list of items being completed for special projects and reserve replacements.

Starting in April, we saw construction work begin in almost all areas of the facility continuing throughout the year to the end of November. We had fitness cabinets installed to help preserve equipment and eliminate clutter; additional paver patios were installed at the pool and canyon nine to allow for additional seating; the tennis courts were resurfaced, new nets went up, and a shade structure was installed; the sports court had a divider installed to allow for multiple groups to utilize the space and new wall padding was installed to better serve the use of the room; the locker rooms had the carpet replaced rubber flooring to allow for a cleaner and more water absorbent environment; the great room windows were repaired and the patio deck was resealed; and finally a new storage room to assist in the behind the scenes operations of the facility. It has been a busy year for sure!

The Club continues to see an increase in usage, averaging 9% growth month after month from 2011. Our fitness and sports department continues to evolve to the needs of those using the facility and programs with a diverse fitness schedule and newly implemented programs and classes ranging from TRX and Fit Express to an expanded Tennis programming requiring two pros. The Youth Basketball League busted at the seams, forcing us to keep with our plan of two age groups to better accommodate the demand.

The activities department saw growth in summer camp, afterschool program, and adult functions, including the addition of our adult craft club and game club. Community events continued to make Somersett a popular destination for those throughout Reno with our ever popular Farmers Market, as well as our newly added MC Believe 5k race.

With feedback from events and the survey, we are looking forward to implementing several new and improved programs for various age and interest groups.

The pool was the place to be once again all summer long!

We received lots of compliments throughout the season on the professionalism of the lifeguard staff which was one of our goals based on previous year’s feedback. We will continue to strive for further improvement in this area each and every year moving forward. The poolside cabana received great feedback on the new bar, menu, and customer service. We are excited to expand the menu and bar in 2013 to keep everyone’s taste buds satisfied.

The Canyon Nine remained consistent in 2012 as we saw more resident and public play. Over 200 Living Social players came out this year to play from the 400 coupons sold. Glowball proved again to be a hit once again and we look to improve our tournament selection in 2013 based on feedback and continued relations with Somerset Golf and Country Club. Our goal in 2013 is to broaden our marketing of the public play option as we continue to see this increase year after year.

As we head into 2013 remember to stay connected with the website for all Club Happenings. Thank you for your continued feedback and making 2012 another great year here at The Club at Town Center and Canyon Nine. A copy of the 2012 Survey results can be found online at www.mysomersett.com.

sierra canyon A

nother year is about to be added to the annals of history and if you’re anything like me, you’re wondering, “Where has the time gone?” I’m happy to reflect and smile at the fact that we’ve enjoyed another successful year here in Sierra Canyon and Somersett in general. We can all look forward to 2013, when we will once again set ambitious goals to make sure our community continues to be the best place to live in Nevada!

I have plenty to be thankful for in relation to Sierra Canyon. The re-opening of fire station number 19 just outside of our community was probably the most significant occurrence. I want to thank those residents who stood with me and attended several meetings regarding this fire station’s closure and who put the pressure on to see it reopened! Hopefully we will continue to see the good work this station provides for years to come.

Our Sierra Canyon Fitness Coordinator Shaylene becoming a full time employee in 2012 was another major accomplishment. We were lucky enough to have her here part time, and thanks to resident support and Board approval, residents can take advantage of even more of Shaylene’s

fitness programs. Shaylene is excited to add additional programming to her already busy schedule, which will benefit every resident.

Other accomplishments in 2012 were updates to our personnel manual and job descriptions, which give us better direction for our association employees, and the establishment of an emergency evacuation plan. Implemented by association staff, this plan provides a clear and detailed method in case of emergency at The Lodge. There were many other projects that were completed in 2012 for which I’m thankful, but above all, I’m grateful for a fantastic staff to help make it all happen!

The Budget and Finance Committee (Sarah Madden, Dick Vogt, Dave Urbanac, Mark Richter, Lorraine Barrett and Ron Miyasaki) was also successful in steering the community in the right direction in 2012, giving us a process and vehicle for bringing forward possible future improvements within Sierra Canyon. This committee put in a lot of hours to not only establish this process but to oversee our 2012 monthly financial statements and our budget for 2013.

The efforts of association staff and volunteers alike made a big difference in providing direction in 2012 and will be instrumental in repeating another successful year in 2013. There is a reason Somersett is known as the best place to live in northern Nevada – let’s continue the tradition!
