Sun City board begins 12-week programming phase for Mountain View, hires Triarc for stakeholder interviews
Summary
Vice President Nettishine told members the board has entered a programming phase for the Mountain View recreation center, with Triarc conducting stakeholder interviews over roughly eight to 10 weeks and a 12-week timeline for base concept drawings; no final decisions will be made until the programming analysis is complete.
Vice President Nettishine, Vice President of the Recreation Centers of Sun City, told members the board has entered the programming phase for the Mountain View recreation center and retained Triarc to complete stakeholder interviews and a programming analysis.
Nettishine said Triarc will interview clubs, non‑club users and management to update prior visioning and engineering work, and that the firm has finalized the questions it will ask stakeholders. "No decision has been made about anything at Mountain View until the end of this phase," Nettishine said, adding the deliverable will be an analysis of interviews and base concept drawings — not architectural or design drawings.
Why it matters: The Mountain View project includes multiple facilities and competing needs (pool, gym, theater, lawn bowling, tennis/pickleball). The programming phase will shape what goes into later, more detailed design and construction stages. The board emphasized fiscal restraint, saying the scope may be limited to stay within budget and that any expansion beyond the original scope could add cost.
What the board will do next: Nettishine said Triarc will schedule about nine stakeholder meetings identified so far and that management will supply usage data for Mountain View, Fairway and Lakeview so Triarc can compare site use across centers. Stakeholder interviews are expected to run about eight to 10 weeks; Nettishine said the overall programming phase is roughly 12 weeks and that base concept drawings will follow.
Timeline and limits: Nettishine warned those drawings are conceptual only: "It's just base concept. It's not architectural drawings. It's not design drawings." She said the board will share Triarc's programming analysis with the membership before making final decisions and then move to a design phase that could take 12 to 18 months.
Member role and next steps: The board asked clubs to identify appropriate club representatives for interviews, to supply current usage data, and to encourage club members to attend stakeholder interviews so the programming timeline can be met. Nettishine said the board will communicate project updates to members and reiterated that no final decisions will be made until programming and member input are complete.
Context: The Mountain View work follows earlier visioning and engineering surveys. The board said it formed a task force of board members, management and long‑range planning committee members to oversee master planning and said it will request design work only after programming is finished.
Ending: The board expects to publish Triarc's programming presentation to the membership after stakeholder interviews and will then use that analysis to guide any design proposals and subsequent board decisions.
