Hot Springs Village, Troon Golf Develop Strategic Partnership
H
Hot Springs Village and TROON Golf, the industry’s leader in upscale golf course management, together will oversee eight Hot Springs Village Golf courses. Troon currently has destination and resort golfing properties in 34 states and 28 countries; 48 of its facilities enjoy a Top 100 ranking by national or international publications. The Hot Springs Village Board of Directors approved the Troon Golf/HSV partnership in the Aug. 20 Board Regular Meeting. “We have spent the last year creating the vision and conditions to attract strategic partnerships. As golf is one of our primary business sectors, Troon Golf, the most prestigious name in golf destinations is the first of these partners to join our team,” said David Twiggs, HSV COO. “This is a partnership to grow HSV as a golf destination.” Twiggs said Hot Springs Village will retain full control of pricing, policies, and employees along with full ownership and control of all golf courses while becoming part of the Troon family of golf destinations. “We expect this to be budget neutral in the short term due to significant cost savings on capital and renovations, redirecting existing marketing funds into the collaborative marketing, and existing personnel costs for our Director of Golf Position,” noted Twiggs, who said growth in golf revenues over the longer term will go “directly to improving HSV’s bottom line.” Twiggs identified four major benefit areas the partnership addresses. First, the partnership would allow Hot Springs Village to tap into an international marketing program to bring high quality guest golfers and potential buyers to Hot Springs Village. Troon is the largest and most highly regarded golf destination brand in the business today. Currently in affiliation with 207 courses in 24 countries and many strategic business alliances in the golf and hospitality industries. Second, the partnership increases value for HSV members by giving them access to programs and discounts at other Troon communities and resorts. “This leverages our golf and real estate marketing with Troon’s destination golf marketing for greater market profile,” said Twiggs. “The Brand Prestige of being a Troon destination will impact all property values while the focused business plan increases outside golf revenues.” Third, the partnership with Troon allows HSV to have access to a national purchasing program, which will re-
duce major maintenance and capital costs. An in-depth analysis of all course renovation projects will be based on Troon management experience of 207 other courses while bringing direct access to national data on golf business trends and strategic planning in conjunction with Troon. Fourth, the partnership allows HSV a high quality replacement for our Director of Golf. “This partnership allows us to contract a seasoned Troon Director of Golf to work in our current chain of command and under the same supervision as our current operations but with Troon corporate support and resources,” said Twiggs. “We will in essence be gaining an entire business, marketing, training, and agronomy team through one on site Director of Golf. We will leverage Troon’s experience in agronomy and BMP’s in developing a specific management plan for HSV courses.”
Investing In Our Future A Call to Action By the HSV Assessment Committee
H
Hot Springs Village is taking action in response to declining revenue resulting from uncollected assessments. To address this, the POA Board of Directors is proposing increasing monthly assessments to $65 for all improved lots (those with a water meter). Unimproved lots would not be affected by this assessment increase. All properties would remain subject to the annual cost-ofliving increase, at the Board’s discretion. The new rate would take effect on January 1, 2015. Let’s take a look at why this request is being made. History Most Villagers moved here because of the natural beauty, low cost of living and amenities. Our assessments have been part of that great value, with competitively low rates supporting our operations and a wide range of amenities. This was made possible by a business plan created by Cooper Communities, Inc. (CCI), which developed the Village beginning in 1970. Using a vigorous marketing program, CCI sold 34,149 lots through 2002. Those sales paid for golf courses, recreation centers, streets, water and sewer systems, and kept fees and assessments low. In 2003, National Recreational Properties, Inc. (NRPI), a national real-estate firm, began acquiring Village lots for resale. It initiated
a national marketing campaign to bring prospective buyers to the Village. Over the next five years, NRPI bought more than 5,000 Village lots. In 2008, Hot Springs Village’s financial health was greatly affected by two events: 1. The U.S. real-estate market collapsed. A domino effect significantly reduced property values and triggered foreclosures and depressed sales. Hundreds of Village lot owners abandoned their property in the wake of this downturn. 2. NRPI was caught in the crash and fell on economic hard times. It stopped paying assessments on thousands of lots it had not been able to sell. Many were later placed under state control because property taxes were not paid. The bottom line: As of June 30, 2014, there were 8,822 lots – 25.8% of the Village total – no longer generating assessment income for the POA. That number comprises 6,477 lots whose assessment dues are 60 days or more past-due, and 2,345 lots in the POA inventory. These lots represent $3.2 million in lost assessment revenues in 2013, and nearly $14 million since 2006. Why an assessment increase? When Cooper Communities began developing the Village in the 1970s, facilities and roads were new and maintenance needs were low, so HSV’s financial practices did not

include funds for long-term maintenance and capital needs. Now, 44 years later, we are facing the reality that critical infrastructure repairs have been deferred because of declining assessment revenues. Now we need to change our business model by recognizing the need for additional revenue to restore and maintain services and facilities that, in turn, will strengthen property values. Additional Assessment Funds Use Here are some of the big-ticket items that need to be repaired or purchased using additional assessment funds beginning in 2015: Roads: Maintenance and surfacing of 470 miles of paved roads. Projected cost: $6.3 million over five years. Water Supply: Replace deteriorating water supply lines in the older parts of the Village to prevent service interruptions, water losses and excessive repair costs. Projected cost: $1.25 million over five years. Sewer/Rainwater Infiltration Issues: Replace aging sewer pipes and repair manholes (primarily in the west end of the Village) that allow excess water to seep into sewer lines, overloading waste water treatment plants, and putting us at risk for fines from the Arkansas Dept. of Environmental Quality. Projected cost: $2.5 million over five years. Cortez Fire Station Roof: Reconstruct the structurally unstable roof. Projected cost: $200,000. Culvert replacements: Repair/ replace broken drains under Village roadways. Projected cost: $500,000 in 2015; then $250,000 per year for maintenance. Woodlands A/C Units: Replace all inefficient, costly units in the WoodASSESSMENT continued on page 4
Update with Keith Keck, Board President Keith Keck Addresses Need for Assessment Increase
W
What a beautiful, not normal sweltering summer … some positive highlights from this summer include the successful expansion of our water plant and launch of Grove Park. However, cool wet weather continues to hamper golf and water revenues...so your POA continues monitoring expenses. The HOTTEST THING this summer was the Future Financial Task Force (FFTF) Presentation on July 2 by Vice President Harv Shelton. For the past nine months, the FFTF studied our financial situation out to 2020. They highlighted that over the past five years, our uncollected assessments on over 9,000 non-revenue producing lots reached $13.8M, to include over $3.2M this year. This $3M+/year shortfall will continue unless some action is taken. It takes roughly $30M/year to keep the infrastructure, services and major capital facilities operating at the current level of service. We are trying to do it on $27M and things are not getting done!!! Then on July 16, GM David Twiggs presented his three-prong plan to address HSV’s future: 1) Appropriate Assessment Levels; 2) Funding for Future Improvements; 3) Maximizing Amenity Performance. I will focus on the assessment portion of David’s plan. WE ARE AT THE CROSSROADS! Your POA has deferred infrastructure maintenance and major capital repairs, but now the time has come for us to “Invest in Our Future.” There is no magic bean or sugar daddy to help us solve this $3M/ year challenge...IT IS ALL OURS. Both the FFTF and POA Board reviewed numerous assessment op-
tions: across the board increase; special assessments; two-tier assessment; and multi-tier based on assessed property values or levels of membership. Weighing the pros & cons of the available options, the POA Board voted to take the two-tier assessment proposal to YOU, the property owners. The proposal is for improved-lot properties owners to pay $65/month, while unimproved-lot property ownKeck ers will pay the current rate of $36.68/month. The $3M/year raised by this proposal fixes the shortfall for existing infrastructure, and does not initiate any new growth initiatives. If we had kept up with inflation over the latest 40 years, assessments would be over $70 a month right now. Please see www. hsvpoa.org for more detailed information on the proposed assessment. Today, the roughly 8,500 improved-lot property owners pay 1/3 of the total assessments, while the unimproved-lot property owners pay 2/3 of the total. Being a fulltime resident, I reap the benefits of the Village infrastructure 24 hours a day. I like having good safe roads to drive on after attending an evening performance at the Woodlands, or knowing that at midnight a professional HSV Policeman or Fireman is on-duty to protect me. During those middle of the night bathroom breaks, I am glad our sewer/water infrastructure is being kept up and that in the morning I have water for my shower. We take all this infrastructure for granted, but we have been neglecting it for years. We can study this until the cows come home, having infrastructure and facilities for over 34,000 prop-
erties with less than 25,000 paying their assessments, presents a huge financial burden. Until we show the outside public and business world that we are ready to do our part to maintain Village financial viability, many will stay away and we miss out on vitally needed development. I wish there was an easier way to solve our financial challenge, but it is up to us property owners to decide our destiny. The choice is yours: pass the assessment increase to keep our current level of service, while generating the $3M to tackle the deferred maintenance and major capital repairs…or defeat the assessment increase proposal, cut services like we did in 2012 and continue to defer vital infrastructure repairs. VOTE YES!! If you want HSV to continue to be the good quality place you bought into. Vote No, if you want services to decrease, while infrastructure and major capital facilities continue to decay. We hired David Twiggs to reinvigorate our Village, let’s give him the means to fix the infrastructure and major capital problems he inherited, so he can get on with MOVING OUR VILLAGE FORWARD!

Replacing High-Ticket Equipment: Replacing high-ticket vehicles like fire trucks and garbage trucks on a proper schedule – all key elements of maintaining our quality of life. Projected cost: $750,000 per fire truck, $150,000 per trash truck. Funding is also needed for the deferred infrastructure maintenance and repairs on the Village’s 94 buildings and other facilities to be addressed based on priority and available funds. Capital projects currently in the POA’s five-year plan will be reviewed and voted on individually by the Board to be sure those projects remain needed and are cost-managed. Revenue from an assessment increase will not be spent on new amenities or new programs. Three-pronged approach The long long-term solution for HSV is to put non-performing non-productive lots back into private hands. Hot Springs Village is taking a three-pronged approach to financial recovery, strengthened property values, and future growth. The assessment increase – which is the only component Village members in good standing will be voting on in the fall – is one of those prongs. 1. Assessment increase: A rate increase is the best action that can be implemented in a timely manner to take care of our most pressing infrastructure and capital needs. 2. Improved amenity performance: Going forward, we need to decide how best to lower subsidies without sacrificing quality, and without placing the full burden on our amenity usage fees. An important contribution to this goal is the recent announcement of a five-year contract with Troon Golf to develop a golf business and marketing program for our eight Village courses. 3. Funding for future growth: This “prong” is the longterm component aimed at growing the Village and raising funds for its future operation and improvements. It includes the development of new sources of revenue like a capital buy-in fee on new owners purchasing property in the Village. A Call to Action The time has come to invest in our future – to restore the financial health of the Village and keep things running properly. This call to action is the basis for the proposed new monthly assessment rate of $65/month on each improved lot, beginning January 1, 2015. Additional information supporting the need for the assessment increase, as well as other components of the funding plan, will be posted at http://hsvpoa.org/governance/investing-in-our-future/.

She also noted $557,500 of capital spending placed on hold in response to the decrease in forecasted year-end cash. According to Nalley, “The key to reading these statements is to understand how the HSV business cycle forecasts the future and validates past results. For instance, the majority of our golf revenue and major related expense occurs in the first three quarters. We should always be asking whether the results point to gaining or losing momentum as we compare against the annual budget and proceed through the year”. She encouraged everyone to consider the overall activity behind the numbers and not to misinterpret a specific month’s results.

The goals, developed with input from the Board, staff and Research and Special Projects Committee, relate to reinvigorating the HSV brand and destination community growth, targeting marketing, financial accountability, creating a modern and efficient infrastructure, upgrading and developing amenities and informing and satisfying members. Each goal also includes objectives. To view the enter-

Several Hot Springs Village Projects Near Completion Several Hot Springs Village projects are nearing completion. Water Treatment Plant Expansion: The Water Treatment Plant expansion, which began in January 2013, is performing as expected and is complete except for a few minor items. The entrance to the plant has been paved and all pipes have been painted, according to Jason Temple, HSV Public Works Director, who said the additional projects have created a showcase facility of which HSV members may be proud. The $6.5 million dollar project increases the number of gallons of treated water per day from 4 million to 6 million. West Gate: West Gate Entrance Improvements were started in 2013. The new pump station is in place and crews are currently working on electrical for the north
pond. Temple said he expects the new fountain to be flowing in a few weeks. Progress continues on the reconstruction of the E. Faye Jones sculpture, which will be painted and delivered for installation in September. Plans are underway to work throughout the remainder of the year on the South pond. Temple said using both outside contractors and HSV crews helped to keep the project on budget. East Gate: East Gate entrance improvements were started in early 2014. An additional lane has been added and will be extended once relocation of telephone and electrical wiring equipment has been completed. When the extension has been completed, the entire area will be paved. Temple said he is working with outside contractors and crews to expedite the process as much as possible.
