The RCSC Exchange Meeting held on December 9, 2024, in Sun City, Arizona, focused on several key community issues, including land acquisition, facility maintenance, and ticketing system frustrations.

The meeting began with discussions about the need for additional land within Sun City.

Next, the resurfacing of the pickleball courts at Mountain View was addressed. A resident presented photographs to illustrate the courts' poor condition. The board confirmed that resurfacing is included in the budget for 2025 and is scheduled to begin in the spring, contingent on weather conditions.

The board acknowledged the problems with the new software and assured attendees that they are seeking improvements for future events.

Concerns were raised about the decision-making process within the board, with calls for more community engagement and transparency. A member criticized the lack of thorough analysis in recent decisions, suggesting that this has led to feelings of betrayal among residents and even sparked a recall campaign against certain board members.

In conclusion, the meeting highlighted the community's desire for better communication and transparency from the board, particularly regarding land acquisition and facility maintenance. The board committed to addressing these concerns and improving the decision-making process moving forward.
