Money Matters 2015 Audit Presented by EGP, PLLC Lindsey Baker, EGP Audit Partner, presented the 2015 audit and management letter to the Board at their April 20th meeting. Most notable was mention that one of two deficiencies identified in the prior year was eliminated during this audit period, showing the Association’s progress towards accrual accounting.

The second deficiency, related to Information Technology controls, was repeated

Lesley Nalley CFO

as this year’s only deficiency since both the AS400 and TeG systems were used in 2015. This remaining deficiency is expected to be eliminated during the 2016 audit period, reflecting the internal control improvements made during the Total e-conversion.

At December 31, 2015, the Association’s Total Membership Equity was $69,393,911, with $77mil in assets and $8mil in liabilities. Net Excess of Revenues over Expenses, before Depreciation, was $1.2mil.

New Wastewater Bond Approved The Garland County, Arkansas Waterworks and Sewer Facilities Board (Hot Springs Village) was originally formed on February 19, 1976 to assist in the financing of waterworks and sewer facilities inside Hot Springs Village. As a private corporation, HSVPOA is unable to issue its own tax exempt bonds. Rather, the Association has accomplished such projects under the oversight of a Facilities Board, including bond activities in 1991, 2000, 2004, and 2009.

At a public hearing on March 8, 2016, the Facilities Board elected Major General Tom Arwood as President, Don Gooch as Vice President, and David York as Secretary. Along with fellow Directors Tom Bryant and Chuck Alvord, the Facilities Board unanimously passed a resolution signaling an intent to finance sewer improvements.

The recommended bond arrangement was described during a December 1, 2015 special called meeting of the HSV Board of Directors, with Paul Phillips of Crews & Asso-

ciates presenting financing recommendations.

On April 20, 2016, during their regular board meeting, the Hot Springs Village Board of Directors voted to use bonds for waste water projects, as identified by McClelland Engineers and RJN Group. Under this resolution, $2,045,000 in new debt will be issued and $1,350,000 in remaining 2009A bond debt will be refunded, bringing total bond debt to $3,395,000. The Facilities Board approved the transaction and closing followed on May 6, 2016.

Special thanks to Paul Phillips, Crews & Associates, Ryan Bowman, the Friday Law Firm, and Michele Allgood, Mitchell Williams, for their guidance throughout the process. Under the direction of Jason Temple, Public Utilities Director, the Association looks forward to completing various manhole and waste water treatment plant rehab projects. Mr. Temple expects to begin these projects in June.

Hot Springs Village News DeSoto Club Renovation Complete The highly appreciated journey of the DeSoto Club renovation began two and one-half years ago. In January 2014, the facility experienced a burst water pipe which caused extensive damage. At this time it was determined that several areas contained asbestos which needed to be removed and abated.

After demolition was completed, the POA began the design process.

Project objectives were: improvements for a more functional space, a full service golf shop, upscale casual dining, a bar and lounge with conversational seating, an enlarged outdoor dining space and a private dining and event space to be used for meetings, events and convention space. The Placemaking team began the search to retain an architectural firm and selected Hight Jackson Associates from Rogers, Arkansas. Hight Jackson has worked on several E. Fay Jones projects in the past, and Larry Perkin, the principal architect, even studied under Jones while obtaining his architectural degree at the University of Arkansas. East Harding Construction was hired as the construction management team for the project.

They have completed projects such as University of Arkansas Memorial Hall, Hillary Rodham Clinton Children’s Library, Arkansas Repertory Theatre and Arkansas Museum of Discovery.

The design evolved over several months and was finalized with a full service golf shop, large main dining, bar/lounge area, private dining, outdoor dining and large events lawn.

Demolition began late November of 2015 with construction starting at the end of the year. The project will be complete mid-June and open for business with Chef Johnna Westerman as the restaurateur and chef. The restaurant will be open seven days a week serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Westerman states her food is “Continental with an upscale southern twist.” The smoked pork chop, shrimp and Gouda grits and salmon salad are a few specialities.

The design strategy for the project was to keep as much of the original

Hot Springs Village Advocate Summer 2016

E. Fay Jones design as possible while providing a modernized, updaed look. The clearstory and large exterior picture windows remain, flooding the entire space with natural light. The boxy, compartmentalized feel was eliminated by removing walls and opening up the space.

The vaulted ceilings in the lobby, along exterior windows and golf shop remain, adding a feeling of spaciousness.

The original stone on the fireplace and lobby floors brings “nature”, a key element in Jones’ design, inside. And the stone surfaces along existing patios, planters and entrance were repaired to their former glory.

Some noteworthy design elements are the stained wood ceilings. The double profile trim is repeated throughout the space on window trim, columns and floor details. The ceiling above the bar and back bar wall is constructed of slated wood and is a play on Jones’ linear design. This same slated design esthetic is used to conceal the heating and air return in the private dining space. The dining floors were finished with a reflective epoxy material, which is not only extremely durable but beautiful as well. The soffit cove lighting gives an inviting, ambient glow to the dining spaces and the golf shop. The new chandeliers give a modernized update to the original chandeliers. Note that Jones’ original chandeliers were repurposed into furnishings throughout the space. The fireplace screen was designed with a linear feel repeating the slated wood and exterior railing design.

The existing circular patio curves are repeated in the deck, stairs and planting areas. And the relief detail on the front of the bar combines the linear and circular elements from both the interior and exterior.

The POA offers a big thank you to all the departments for ensuring that construction, resurfacing of the parking lot, coordinating the kitchen equipment and small wares and landscaping projects came together in a timely fashion for a successful project. The landscape has been refreshed and awaits a full makeover by the Village Men’s Garden Club this fall.

Hot Springs Village News HSV Opens Downtown Discovery Center Earlier this year the board approved opening the Hot Springs Village Discovery Center located in the Wade Building in Historic Downtown Hot Springs.

At 231 Central Avenue, this building is located just north of the Arlington Hotel and nestled within downtown retail, restaurants and hotels. Hot Springs Advertising and Promotion Commission (A & P) spends an average of $2,000,000 annually concentrated on driving tourism to the downtown corridor.

This area sees more than 3.1 million visitors annually, and downtown hosts many events that will bring additional local and regional foot traffic by the Discovery Center storefront.

It will be the front door to Hot Springs Village. The Discovery Center will offer an insight to life in The Village through lifestyle and community photography, graphics and an interactive map/information display.

Staff will be able to assist in scheduling golf outings, facility rentals and events. Guests will also be able to obtain information on lots or home purchases, and staff will capture leads for potential relocation and follow up accordingly.

Grand Opening is expected for early July.

Masterplan Workbook 2016 Update: Planning for our future Yang Luo-Branch

The Hot Springs Village Masterplan Workbook was created and presented to the public in May 2014. The purpose of the report-style document is to present to the public the work progress of the Placemaking Team. At the same time, it is a tool to help our team stay focused, and ensure our projects are properly prioritized and timely communicated.

Over the past three years, it has grown from an “idea book” to a living, working document complete with project status details and expected outcomes, all of which are supported by careful research and robust analyses. These analyses illustrate the current real estate development conditions, revealing the development saturated areas and areas that are currently underdeveloped but have the greatest opportunity for growth. Based on this information, the Placemaking team

has developed a set of “Market Zone” based strategies, which give clear direction on where to expend our resources. These strategies are explained in detail in the Introduction and the Real Estate Analyses through GIS sections in the newest edition of the Masterplan Workbook.

The new Masterplan Workbook has greater substance, and is a living document that will provide tools the staff of Hot Springs Village needs to better map our future. I am personally excited about the progress we have made in the past three years, and want to thank all our departments for their support. Together with you all, we are moving forward and planning a bright future.
