Happy Mother's Day

May 2017

Analyzing Performance—Just Look at the View Vivian Timian, General Manager

M

onday has always been a low revenue day for our Food and Beverage Department. Originally, with Agave Nights it was a special ‘You Call It’ offering premium liquor at well prices, this failed to bring in residents for dinner and it was discontinued. Then a special ‘Brats and Beer’ for Monday evenings that just never found an audience. For 2016, Monday evenings turned into ‘All Night Happy Hour’ with all drinks $1.00 off. This did increase the Monday evening revenues; but we lost on the overall cost of goods sold, as prices were reduced to entice customers to come for dinner.

S

o how much did the 2016 ‘All Night Happy Hour’ actually net the Association. Using the past year calculations, and looking at the costs of labor (fully loaded with benefits) and food, the following outlines an average evening: Revenue Stream: $1400 Labor Costs: Back of the house $804 Front of the house $345 Material Costs: Food $468 Beer/Wine/Liquor $110 Total Costs $1727 Continued on Page 2

reaking down the costs, the back of the house labor is: four (4) cooks, one (1) prep cook, one (1) sous chef, one (1) dishwasher, and a portion of the F&B Director. Residents could order off a menu, and it takes a large staff in the back of the house to build the different offerings. For the front of the house, the costs included four (4) servers, two (2) bussers, one (1) bartender and a Manager or Supervisor. As you can see, the cost of labor and materials exceeded the revenue stream for a loss of $327.

L

ooking to turn this around, the RoadRunner Grill Patio seemed like a perfect match to bring in residents for a new experience. The Baja Grill quickly showed the same or lower results than the Agave Menu offerings. The Food and Beverage team reviewed other approaches and came up with a buffet style dinner that would limit food waste and back of the house labor. Chef Dave knew that it would have to be a varied menu, not just offering chicken and ribs every Monday night. So there would be mahi, smoked brisket, ribs, chicken, skirt steak and anything else that could be marketed at a good price point for the residents. The following represents the average revenue and costs for a ‘Q with a View’:

Revenue Stream: Labor Costs: Back of the house Front of the house Material Costs: Food Beer/Wine/Liquor Total Costs

B

$2850 $473 $483 $1053 $560 $2569

reaking down the costs, the back of the house is two (2) cooks and a dishwasher, with a portion of the F&B Director. Front of the house includes five (5) servers, one (1) bartender and a Manager. Keep in mind that there was an increase in minimum wage in 2017, front of the house labor increases by 40%. For a buffet, knowing the number of reservations cuts down on food waste, and matches the labor to the need for that evening. It just takes a couple of cooks at the grill to keep the buffet line stocked. An increase in servers is needed to make certain that the drinks keep flowing. As you can see, the revenue stream minus the total cost equals an ‘in the black’ number of $281. Upon further review, as long as at least 90 guests attend the “Q with a View", labor and material costs will somewhat equal the revenue stream, depending on the thirst of our guests. So how is the Association revenue— just look at the view.

SaddleBrooke.org is Still Safe

f you’re concerned about Internet security—as we all should be—you may have noticed a warning start to appear on the Sign In page at SaddleBrooke. org. Depending on the browser you use, the wording is different, but the message is the same: “the site is not secure.” Rest assured, SaddleBrooke.org is still safe and your information is protected from wayward eyes. First, this change to the Internet is a long time in coming and long overdue (in my opinion). It shows that the companies that make web browsers—Apple, Google, Microsoft and FireFox (Mozilla)—take security seriously. What does this mean? It means that SaddleBrooke.org does not have a security certificate on its servers. The SaddleBrooke.org website security has not changed. In fact, it’s constantly enhanced. However, in order to earn the “secure” label, we need to make some changes to the site to guarantee a secure connection from the user (you and me) to the server. The main part of this is a security certificate. When we install it, you’ll notice all SaddleBrooke.org pages will begin with “HTTPS://” and not “HTTP://.” In some browsers, you’ll also see a green padlock with the words “Secure” before the HTTPS://. So, what does it mean to be secure, and not just safe? When a site is “secure,” it has a direct connection between you and the server. All information passed back and forth such as pages, text, pictures and passwords is directly linked. In order to guarantee this connection, companies—similar to insurance companies—issue a security certificate that gets installed on the server. The server itself can only be accessed by special protocols that assure the pipeline is direct. In the past, this type of connection was reserved for usernames and passwords only and did not require a certificate. Starting now, the web browsers apply the same level of scrutiny to the entire page—not just the sensitive stuff. A regular website with only “HTTP://” may or may not support this direct connection type. The difference is having the security certificate—similar to having car insurance and being able to prove it when asked. The challenge is making sure all our content meets the security certificate requirements, not just the username and password information. We have a lot of content at SaddleBrooke.org. Assuring the highest level of security means we’re being extra cautious as we implement a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Expect to see the “HTTPS://” pages in the coming weeks. As a regular user, you may not even notice except for green in the browser bar. The change will be as seamless as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me at webmaster@saddlebrooke.org.

SaddleBrooke One Walking and Riding Safely

Ed Wysocki, Senior Patrol Manager addleBrooke is a unique community. We have a population that is older and concentrated in a small area. All of us, to a degree, have diminished reflex times and some vision issues. Therefore, it becomes imperative that we observe some simple rules to make our community a safe one.

S

Ridgeview and Saddlebrooke Blvds are our busiest streets and they also attract the most walkers, joggers and bicyclists. Walkers and joggers should always walk/jog facing traffic. This may mean that you have to walk/jog on the sunny side of the street at times, but it will protect you because you will be facing oncoming traffic and will have time to react if a distracted driver swerves toward you. Walkers/joggers should never walk more than two abreast when on our streets; and if you are on Ridgeview when traffic is heavy, single file is best. When walking/ jogging on Saddlebrooke Blvd, please use the walking path on the south side of the roadway. When riding your bicycle, remember to do so driving with the flow of traffic. Yield to pedestrians in the multi-use lanes. Bicyclists are required to stop at all stop signs. The only exception is when you are riding as a group and the lead riders stop and see that the intersection is clear and wave you through. When riding as a group, remember to only ride two abreast. Only move out into the automobile travel lanes after you have looked to make sure there is no automobile traffic coming from behind you. Drivers of cars, trucks and golf carts also need to make sure they are aware of the various bicycles, walkers and joggers and adjust speed and driving accordingly. When you are stopped at an intersection, remember to look left, look right and look left again before proceeding. This is especially important when walkers or joggers are near the intersection as they will be to your right. The bicycle lane on Saddlebrooke Blvd from MountainView Blvd to Desert Bluff is NOT a golf cart lane. You must stay on the designated golf cart path in this area. The only golf carts that would be allowed on the county portion of this roadway are those that are legally registered and have a visible up-to-date license and registration card. You can be cited by Pinal County if you are traversing this portion of the county road without the proper registration of your golf cart.

Safety Tip

W

hen we think of safety, we sometimes forget that we should be aware of how we handle ourselves within, not only our community, but in our homes as well. SAFETY should always be one of our goals. If you observe something that you feel should be addressed, make a note of it and contact the Patrol Office or the Administration Office with your concerns. Remember, we are our brothers’ keepers. Let us continue to enjoy SaddleBrooke as a Safe Community.

This month, there are a couple of interesting nonfiction (NF) books you might find to your liking. The first is Taking My Life Back by Rebekah Gregory. This woman was injured when the Boston Marathon Bombing took place. She was at the finish line with her 5 year old son to cheer on her friend who was in the race. She was hit by nails and screws in the homemade bomb she shielded her son from. She, however, had to endure seventeen surgeries and sixtyfive procedures before she finally decided to have her left leg amputated. Two years later, she ran a partial marathon and participated in the trial of one of the terrorists. Now, there is someone who cannot be kept down. The second NF book is Mercies in Disguise by Gina Kolata. There are some devastating diseases that are genetic. If there was a test to determine if you carried the mutated gene would you take it? One young woman in South Carolina had spent her lifetime watching family members disintegrate before her eyes. When it was her time to start a family, she got tested and took matters into her own hands. She had a procedure which is controversial to some. She did not want her children to inherit the mutated gene. Read this book and find out what she decided to do. Mary Higgins Clark brings us All By Myself, Alone. This must be like an Agatha Christie novel; it has as many suspects as Ten Little Indians. The locale is a brand-new cruise ship and a murder happens on board. Another mystery writer, Steve Berry, has written about a dangerous clandestine organization from the 1800s. This group amassed billions of dollars in stolen gold and silver and buried it in hidden caches across the United States. The group was called The Knights of the Golden Circle. This is a Cotton Malone novel and he has connections to this group from his family history. Look for The Lost Order. No One is Coming to Save Us by Stephanie Powell Watts is about a man who returns to his hometown after achieving great wealth. He hopes to build a mansion and woo his old flame Ava. Problem is the town has declined due to the furniture industry being outsourced to China. Have the people changed in the interim of time as he has? Stuart Woods is at it again. Fast and Loose is his newest novel and Stone Barrington is again the hero. He goes from yachting in Maine to Manhattan then to a Virginia farmhouse. You will want to follow his latest adventures.

Are you ready for a new Alexander McCall Smith story? This is a standalone novel which takes place in Tuscany, Italy. My Italian Bulldozer is the title and humor is definitely the order of the day. If something happens and you have no rental car, how do you get to your destination? Why, take up the offer of a newfound friend and travel on a bulldozer. You will see the countryside in a new way. This is what happens to food writer Paul Stuart. Follow him on his excursions and meet a young American woman who awakens in him something unexpected. It is very nice to have a new book by Anne Hillerman. The Navajo reservation in Shiprock is the location and Bernie Manuelito and her husband, Joe Chee, are the main characters. Of course, they will ask retired lieutenant Joe Leaphorn to consult. If you have been a fan of Hillerman, both Anne and her father Tony, you will want to read Song of the Lion. Those of you who have enjoyed A Man Called Ove might want to read another story by the same author, Fredrik Backman. This one is called my grandmother asked me to tell you she’s sorry. Because it was written in 2015, I have decided to put in with the regular Fiction. It will have a NEW sticker on it for your convenience. When you look in the Fiction room, you should look for other books with this NEW sticker. These are generally newer donated books that we think you might enjoy. The same is true in the NF section. Those are, however, located at the end of the NF. Come in and see what else might be new to you.

SaddleBrooke External Affairs and Information Commission (SEIC) On March 21st, SEIC members met with Pinal County staff in Florence, AZ. The following topics were discussed. Sundance Ridge - No lots have been sold. It appears that the property owners are seeking to sell the entire 55-acre parcel to a developer, rather than marketing individual lots. The entire development of the property, platted in 1985, allows for 800 to 1000 homes. The proposed County Road project connecting Catalina Hills to Biosphere Rd. is called Cordones Road. The County is pursuing purchasing an 80-foot right-of-way from the State Land Trust that would be funded by the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) if voters approve it. RTA – The Regional Transportation Authority is a comprehensive transportation project for Pinal County that would direct $640M over 20 years to transportation infrastructure. It will likely be a November 2017 ballot initiative for a ½ cent retail sales tax. The initiative would include two votes, one to approve the transportation plan and a second to approve the tax. In order to succeed, both issues must pass. SaddleBrooke Marketplace – Kroger Corporate has suspended construction on the Marketplace. The County will review the traffic plan as the situation evolves. The developers must maintain dust abatement until construction resumes. Economic Development – Three projects near the I-8/I-10 intersection will require significant expansion of the existing transportation infrastructure. • Lucid Motors is still negotiating a Development Agreement with Pinal County and Casa Grande for the 500-acre factory site. Lucid manufactures batteries and electric drive train assemblies in California. The Casa Grande plant will be their first to manufacture entire electric cars. Morgan Stanley is heading initial financing. • Attesta Motorsports Complex is planning a 2500 acre racing community, including three (3) racetracks, commercial, residential and entertainment areas. • Block Sports is pursuing permitting for Dreamport Village a multi-faceted entertainment park. The project could eventually expand to 3500 acres. Other Economic Development near SaddleBrooke • Apache Sky Casino, east of Dudleyville, is ready to open pending ADOT approvals. It will start with slot machines in portable structures and plans to grow into a full service casino and resort. • Golder Vineyards has planted vines and is seeking permits for a vineyard along Edwin Road. • The 2016 Year End Review of Economic Development projects and a Regional Transportation map will be posted on the SEIC web page. County Update Population is trending at 2% growth for the next 20-30 years. Justice of the Peace court reorganization is proceeding with plans calling for judges to move between courtrooms, rather than close existing courts. Arizona@Work Pinal is a workforce development project, headquartered in Casa Grande and financed by a Federal grant. The project is bringing together employers and manufacturers, with adult workers, teens and veterans to build up the County’s workforce. Central Arizona College has joined with Pima and Maricopa Community Colleges to train and develop a workforce to meet economic expansion in the region. No increase in property taxes is anticipated for 2018, although budgeting is in process. Pinal County has hired Moses Inc. to assist with marketing all economic development activities nationally and internationally. In the last two weeks, the county has submitted three (3) economic development proposals totaling over $12Billion. Director Tim Kanavel said his office has experienced the kind of recent success that makes such proposals possible.

SEIC Meets With Central Arizona College President By Betsy Levenson

Members of SaddleBrooke’s SEIC education team recently met with Dr. Jackie Elliott, elected President/CEO of Central Arizona College last July. SEIC’s team members were impressed by Dr. Elliott’s high energy level and enthusiasm, as well as her innovative approach to problem solving and outof-the-box thinking in relation to long-standing challenges in the community college world. Hired in large part for her finely tuned sense of business acumen, Dr. Elliott has hit the ground running in terms of reassessing all curricula in relation to its relevance in today’s economic climate, focusing like a laser on students’ academic needs as a first priority, creating new business partnerships and reevaluating full-time/part-time faculty ratios in order to maximize expertise and potential. The “Cheesecake Factory” vs. “Chipotle” Menus as a Model Dr. Elliott often uses the Cheesecake Factory menu as an example when she talks about her approach to curriculum redesign, advocating a move away from The Cheesecake Factory type overload of offerings that overwhelm students and do not do justice to a planned job/degree trajectory. Her preference – the “Chipotle” model – offers limited targeted choices for maximum results. Consistent with that approach, she is in the process of taking a hard look at all curriculum areas, gradually paring down offerings in order to zero in on what students need most to be successful in the workforce. Dr. Elliott is less concerned with the traditional and more old-fashioned approach of increasing enrollment numbers, in any and all courses, preferring to focus on raising the certificate completion rate significantly. She talked to us about the role of the College in workforce training, versus the equally important but different role of groups that offer community programs. The non-degree courses those groups run have their place; however, when they are included in the CAC menu, they are duplicative, and not the best value for the dollars expended. In Dr. Elliott’s view, years of college curriculum expansion have created a bloated, expensive mini-university type environment, instead of a student-focused college. It also is not cost-effective to use college facilities and fulltime faculty to teach community education type subjects. It is the old “Cheesecake Factory” vs. “Chipotle” conundrum: CAC cannot be all things to all people. The College needs to focus on its mission, and then do what it does well. That translates to turning the non-degree classes that are not job-related over to community groups, where they belong, and then following through by bringing CAC’s certificate completion rate up dramatically. As part of the implementation strategy, Dr. Elliott is zeroing in on the types of certificates being offered, now and in the future, assessing each to determine whether they are fully transferable for university credit, if that is the student’s objective, and also whether the certificates are directly related to the needs of the business community. Dr. Elliott’s long-term goal is to build clusters of what she calls “stackable degrees”: in other words, students could earn a certificate in an area where there is a demonstrated need in the workforce, and then continue to earn additional advanced certificates in that same area, moving up the career ladder. Examples include health care, advanced technology, early childhood education, welding, precision agriculture, animal science/vet tech, etc. CAC as Part of the Larger World Dr. Elliott sees her role as a key player, team builder and advocate in the larger community as one of her prime and most important responsibilities. Early successes in this area include $250,000 of customized training contracted with/for Larry Raines, City Manager of Casa Grande, and a collaborative effort with Pima and Maricopa Community Colleges for an advanced technology center serving Lucid Motors, with coordinated/aligned curricula at all three Community College Districts across Pinal, Pima and Maricopa Counties.

SEIC meets with Central Arizona College President . . . Continued from page 13 These examples are only the beginning. Dr. Elliott is out there, in the community, on a regular basis, asking business leaders “What do you need? How can we help? Where is the next opportunity?” She sees the business community’s cutting edge as CAC’s new certificate program, and she sends all the right signals that CAC is willing and able to move quickly to make it happen. CAC’s Most Pressing Needs Now that the first nine months of her tenure have passed, we asked Dr. Elliott to look into her crystal ball and tell us what she saw as her most pressing needs. Her response was: 1. Reduce reliance on part-time faculty and use the savings to raise the salaries of the full-timers, commensurate with neighboring Pima and Maricopa faculty, helping CAC stay competitive. (Note: 90% of CAC’s courses are taught by 98 full-time faculty; 10% by 400 part-timers) 2. Develop new curricula consistent with current and future business needs. 3. Find the right academic mix for each campus. 4. Increase the certificate completion rate significantly, hopefully well into the seventies.

SaddleBrooke One Transition Ahead: Summer 2017

Mike Roddy, Golf Course Superintendent he transition period on the courses is the annual process that occurs in the overseeded areas. During transition, the dominant grass transitions from the cool season Rye grass back to the warm season Bermuda grass. Every year is different but usually by mid to late May the transition process is well underway. Our goal every year, as a maintenance team, is to minimize the impact of this process as much as possible; however, it will influence the playing conditions and the appearance of the courses. Below are some of the things to expect on the courses during this time period and how each one helps reduce the impact of the transition process: Increased Cultural Activity: Core aerification will begin in May and this will mean lots of holes on greens, tees and fairways. All overseeded areas will be core aerified at least once in May. This activity reduces plant stress by relieving compaction and improving the growing environment for the Bermuda grass. Lowered Mowing Heights: Lower than normal mowing heights will mean tighter lies throughout the courses. Lowering mowing heights allows for maximum light penetration to the Bermuda and at the same time can weaken the Rye grass which leads to less competition for the Bermuda. Chemical Applications: While these applications are performed ahead of or after daily golf, the results will be visible. They include weakened and off color Rye grass. This important activity helps the Bermuda grass gain the upper hand as it recovers from the overseeding process. Increased Moisture Levels: Maintaining adequate moisture for the Bermuda grass is essential as it recovers. This will lead to wetter than usual conditions overall. Look for our low pressure mister units to be used in trouble areas throughout the courses, as needed. Increased Fertility Applications: Both granular and foliar materials will be applied to the turf to ensure the Bermuda grass has the nutrients it needs to recover quickly. This will mean irrigating the turf ahead of daily play to ensure the materials have been applied without injuring the existing Bermuda. Thank you in advance for your patience during this often difficult time period for playing conditions. See you on the course.
