SCOV has a dedicated customer service representative with Republic Services. Many of you are aware of the labor challenges the country is currently experiencing, and Republic Services highly encourages residents to email any service issues rather than telephone, in order to receive the best service. Our representative can be reached at scov@ republicservices.com. This email is listed on the Republic magnet you received in your annual dues mailing. Visit our web page where you can find the following information: 1) Recycling: View a video and web page on what Republic takes in their recycling bins. Glass is accepted for recycling. 2) Holiday schedule: Check if you need to shift setting your bins out due to a holiday. 3) Report a problem: Missed pickup? Bin damaged?

Aquatic Fitness Center Advisory Cliff Miller Architectural Review Kris Ahlstrand 510-693-5502 ARC@suncityorovalley.com Zoom meetings Second and Fourth Tue., 2 PM
The Architectural Review Committee (ARC) continues to remain extremely busy during these hot summer months with a minimum of 10 submittals to review at each of our twice-a-month Zoom meetings. Residents who submit complete applications gain speedy review and approval of their projects. One way to ensure a complete application and a project that meets the Development Standards for a Permanent Improvement is to have a pre-submittal meeting with ARC representatives. Before you begin preparing your application on the SCOV website, take the time to read all the directions, especially the specific items that must be included with your submittal. Use the drop-down menus: Members > Members Services > For Your Home > Read More > Start Submittal. The ARC members devote many hours year-round reviewing projects and then discussing them in Zoom meetings held every second and fourth Tuesday at 2 PM. We encourage anyone who is planning a project or just interested to join us online. The link to our meetings can be found on: Members > Committees > Architectural Review > Read More > Join ARC’s Zoom Meeting.

Artisan Center Renovation Task Force See SCOV calendar for meeting dates, time, and location
The Artisan Center Renovation Task Force (ACRTF) may meet the first and third Tuesdays of the month as needed. The SCOV website will have current meeting notices. The SCOV website (Members > Committees > ACRTF) provides the Charter for the task force. The website also provides “A Discussion of the Existing and Future Facility Requirements for the Artisan Clubs of SCOV.” An informal working group comprised of representatives from each of the artisan clubs met over the winter of 2021 to research and write this discussion paper. The ACRTF is now building on the previous work and will identify and work with an architect to develop a comprehensive recommendation for the renovation of this 34-year-old Artisan Center facility.
Community Directory Chair Lisa Collins 812-344-4773 scov.community.directory@gmail.com www.scovaz.com/members/services/directory
Watch “This Week in SCOV” email for information about this year’s paper directory. New residents are unlisted by default. This includes those who move within SCOV. Renters aren’t included, unless they’re long-term year-round residents. I use the monthly SCOV Resale Report to update the directory database. Those who have sold their homes are removed from the database, and the new owners are added as unlisted. To be listed in the directory or to change your information, the preferred method is to complete the online form “To change your directory listing….” Otherwise, you can fill out an orange card at the Welcome Center. You can choose to be listed and still have address, phones, or emails unlisted in either the paper book or the online directory. Email addresses are not published in the paper book.
Consumer Referral - Vendor List Susanna Moran scovconsumerservices@gmail.com
The Vendor List is on the SCOV website. After logging in, go to Members > Member Services > Consumer Referral Vendor List. The Vendor List may also be viewed at the monitor’s desk in the Activity Center during business hours until renovation begins. Please check the Vendor List often, as changes are made frequently. Vendors should email Susanna Moran to inquire about applying to be on the Vendor List.
Finance-Budget Quarterly Zoom meetings on Mondays. Check SCOV calendar for dates and times.
The Finance-Budget Committee (FBC) meetings and Quarterly Financial Conversations with Residents are held quarterly.

Find meeting dates, times, location and information on the SCOV website. The latest financial information is also available on there.
