Members questioned how RCSC reported its monthly and year-to-date results. Several speakers contrasted widely circulated headlines that the organization \"lost\" $600,000 with finance-committee members' statements that the organization’s bottom-line operating deficit for the year after depreciation and other items was about $9,422. Linda McIntyre, who identified herself as a member of the finance committee, said, \"our actual financial loss was somewhere in the neighborhood of $9,422 and change,\" and asked staff to make reports easier for members to interpret and to include explanatory footnotes.

Members also raised capital projects and reserve balances. Jean Totten asked why the Capital Reserve Fund including SIF fees had a reported balance rise from $5.9 million to about $10.4 million month-to-month and asked the board to explain the change. Board members said they would respond to written questions submitted to board email so staff could provide exact accounting and timing details.

Quail Run, a nine-hole golf course on the PIF/SIF capital list, drew particular scrutiny. A member told the board that the Quail Run remake had already consumed architect fees and warned that the project approvals had bypassed a full BP 16 review; the member said the plan would spend roughly $6,000,000, describing that as 18% of PIF funds. Director Preston Kice and others said the planned Quail Run work is not only irrigation replacement but also includes a new pump, changes in turf to reduce future water use and other water-management upgrades required by Arizona water rules. \"There's a lot more going on at this golf course than just irrigation,\" Kice said, listing irrigation, water-use improvements and infrastructure repairs as drivers of the larger cost.

Board and management representatives encouraged members to submit specific written questions so staff could respond with supporting figures. The board did not adopt new budgetary decisions at the exchange meeting; staff said they will provide further financial explanations and supporting footnotes to the membership and that committees will continue to vet capital project proposals.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","RCSC Exchange Meeting - Monday, March 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Members and board members clashed over how financial reports were presented and over a proposed $6 million overhaul of Quail Run golf course; finance staff cited added positions and higher capital budgets, while members sought clearer footnotes and explanations for reported deficits and reserve changes.","taxTitle","Sun City, Maricopa County, Arizona","taxId",51133,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6276290,"Board cites legal advice as members press for bylaw changes and snowbird eligibility; ad hoc committee suggested",6557,894000,7451000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2661092-05a7b73a07fd1c8c0c43a9473348fe2a&start=894&end=7451","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2661092-05a7b73a07fd1c8c0c43a9473348fe2a/thumbnail_894000.jpg","/articles/6276290/Sun-City/Maricopa-County/Arizona/Board-cites-legal-advice-as-members-press-for-bylaw-changes-and-snowbird-eligibility-ad-hoc-committee-suggested","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6276290-ac54c168d619cf6d73517c705b7f7579/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195108&Signature=ft-9wc1IdKtuLaxXsaGWKY7Ez8U7BdZ-rpG4UsCu8-jag-fpuvmIP64eGUssX1sgb24rCFmU421kEbZBHzIZnvH5fo0kuh9sqQEyYIXg2Nwhwy4nxsRHpwI33166jXpddLN6JaJc70DgjJAnIuoH5ksAd-FeOhOmlcVUtLFGhrHWlWXvHOBfx7BBYx7rS6UeW95FWuMiTMEMR3Vv4wCDxmhUAZFfyO4~FX9cRYsPYBon3cpc~4qR~ppnxWX2Dmxq0S1rbNVLNkk906NOjYvWxrMN8wLwUoVaZMUEogOx1kp-FfPSRsmR~n176cI9Op2-ePUeNw64YgwUMU-MWFAXig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Tom Foster, president of the Recreation Centers of Sun City Incorporated board of directors, told members the board had been advised by its legal counsel that several motions submitted for the annual membership meeting require additional vetting and that the board must consider fiduciary duties when responding to legal advice.

\"This is essentially a legal issue,\" Foster said. He told the exchange that board members must follow counsel when advice indicates a fiduciary risk and that matters raised in the aggregate by members may need more review before going to a vote.

Members at the exchange urged greater transparency and wider dissemination of the lawyer's written opinion. John Fass, a member who said he has read the bylaws, requested that the lawyer's written opinion be shared with dues-paying members so they can understand voting rights. Several members urged the board to form a small ad hoc work group to review interrelated bylaw motions and propose consolidated language.

The board also discussed recent counsel guidance that the board's bylaws, as written, technically barred non-Arizona residents from serving, but counsel had opined the law has changed. \"That means snowbirds or non-Arizona residents could run and serve on the board, but we will have to change the bylaws in order to get that done,\" Foster said. Board members and staff said changing bylaws would require multiple steps and likely board policy adjustments; they did not announce an immediate rule change. Election rules described at the meeting said petitions typically require a minimum of 100 valid signatures to be acknowledged as a candidate petition, and the board indicated elections occur in December with candidate outreach earlier in the year.

Pat Gannon and other members explicitly recommended a small, short-term ad hoc committee to reconcile multiple, interrelated motions so that members and the board consider changes as a package rather than as isolated proposals. Director Ross said the board incorporated some prior bylaw-committee work into recent changes and that further review would continue.

No formal vote to change bylaws or to form a committee was recorded at the exchange meeting; the board said it would consider counsel's advice, consult committees and may pursue policy or bylaw revisions in the months ahead.","Members pressed the RCSC board on a set of annual-meeting motions and eligibility rules; board members said legal counsel advised vetting many proposed motions and that bylaw and board-policy changes would be needed to allow non-Arizona 'snowbird' residents to run for the board.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6276295,"RCSC schedules March 18 special session for Mountain View restoration; Triarch to present analysis and take member feedback",5510,446000,5956000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2661092-05a7b73a07fd1c8c0c43a9473348fe2a&start=446&end=5956","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2661092-05a7b73a07fd1c8c0c43a9473348fe2a/thumbnail_446000.jpg","/articles/6276295/Sun-City/Maricopa-County/Arizona/RCSC-schedules-March-18-special-session-for-Mountain-View-restoration-Triarch-to-present-analysis-and-take-member-feedback","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6276295-bc236b569b30bc60665c0e1484d9f483/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195108&Signature=WBv9UshQA~NHCkSdxVU9RVABsZ0UMR8x1IQoKtfjkkHElNVYPkJ~87FCUdD8AYKV1nUYt5TcglC7MxDB8of8UwNzHcur5Md7RLnkHoeqCZyz1se~hq53AIn7J4tXIsu7ptRLVduHT1-8omqKtwJ2FEdKhqY95AlpJ1zm8yI9v0YlgWItzzYk5wcdhLadmuNb4YM4lG8xjSMO3dozDPQsseAiarzzvooFPYpHz8osZ7hg8aaPgcY8S~AKfZFPShIurE8A-NpEyWwwpl1OPAu2mTQqwilThbWxlBJg83afa3iG-rZlej5yaD5mbvX7xZO2zo4VbNSX~quwQhtKXF5v2A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Vice President Chris Netesign, vice president of the Recreation Centers of Sun City Incorporated (RCSC) board of directors, announced a special session for a Triarch presentation on the Mountain View restoration project set for March 18 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., with a member question-and-answer period to follow.

Netesign said the Triarch analysis includes a member survey and an engineering survey and that the consultant delivered a detailed analysis booklet. \"We don't wanna make any decisions until the members have seen the presentation and the members have had their say,\" Netesign said, urging members to attend and to share notice of the special session through social media and the RCSC communications channels.

Triarch will move from analysis into a programming phase that will solicit input from stakeholders including aquatics, performing-club, fitness and technology teams, Netesign said. RCSC staff will post a narrated video version of the presentation to YouTube and make a soft copy of the analysis booklet available on the RCSC website and Facebook page. Printed booklets will be available on March 19 at Mountain View, the Fairway center desk, the Lakeview card member service office and the Bell Pool center desk for members who prefer paper copies.

Miguel Jackson, identified at the meeting as an RCSC audio-visual engineer, introduced logistics for the special session and the planned member Q&A. Netesign and staff described the event as a public information step in a longer process: Triarch will solicit detailed design feedback from user groups and then begin the design process focused on that member input.

Members who spoke during public comment generally praised the decision to present Triarch's work to members first and said they would attend. Jim Kepler, who said he served on early advisory committees for Mountain View, told the board he was \"pleasantly surprised\" to see the project advancing after years of discussion. Milt Lebsack and others said they planned to attend and asked that the board publish session notices at other large member gatherings.

No board decisions were made at the exchange meeting; Netesign emphasized the board would withhold final decisions until members have had an opportunity to view Triarch's presentation and submit feedback.

The board said the March 18 session will be promoted through RCSC email, center TVs and social media; Triarch's presentation and the Q&A will be recorded for members who cannot attend.

Members seeking details about the project or the booklet locations were directed to RCSC communications and to the special session scheduled at Sundial on March 18.","RCSC Vice President Chris Netesign announced a March 18 special session for Triarch to present a detailed Mountain View restoration analysis; members will be able to ask questions, review a printed booklet and later view a recorded presentation.","actionData","errors"]
