Sun City board selects Option 3 for Mountain View renovation, directs Triarch to begin design
Summary
After public comment and extensive discussion of amenities and equity, the RCSC board selected the member‑driven Alternative 3 for the Mountain View renovation and instructed Triarch Architecture & Design to proceed to the design phase; the board also waived a second reading to accelerate the schedule.
The Recreation Centers of Sun City board on Sept. 25 chose “member driven Alternative 3” as the preferred plan for the long‑delayed Mountain View renovation and directed Triarch Architecture & Design to move the project into the design phase.
Decision and votes: The board voted 9–0 in favor of Alternative 3. Later the board voted 7–2 to waive a second reading of the board action so Triarch may begin design work without a month‑long delay.
Why it matters: Mountain View has been discussed for more than a decade; directors and members said the project could affect property values and community amenities. The board’s selection sets the base project scope that Triarch will refine with community input during design. Board members emphasized the vote covered the base project totals only; optional add‑ons such as a lap pool, covered pickleball, or a specific tiered versus flat performance space will be evaluated during design and community engagement.
What board members and members said: Vice President Nettasheim reviewed the site’s long history with the community and stressed the board was deciding on the base amenities rather than later optional add‑ons: “We are not voting on the additional items… We are voting on the base project,” she told the meeting. Several public commenters urged careful review of the cost estimates; Susan Bjork reminded the board the project previously stalled when estimated costs reached $40 million and said the current top‑line available was roughly $28 million, which she described as “tough.”
Next steps: Triarch will enter the design phase and will engage members to refine component details (for example, seating configuration in the performing space, pool options, court coverage and equipment storage). Directors asked management to confirm the design‑phase engagement schedule and return with acknowledgement that Triarch received the board’s direction.
