Summary
Directors unanimously approved revisions to Policy M03 to allow RCSCW cardholders to purchase multi‑day guest passes (day+2 option). Staff will implement wristband issuance and return with an operational update in about three months.
The governing board voted unanimously on Jan. 23 to approve redlined revisions to Policy M03 to allow Recreation Centers of Sun City West cardholders to purchase a multi‑day guest pass option (a day plus two additional days).
What changed: the policy will permit cardholders to purchase either a day+1 or day+2 guest pass; in practice the guest pass receipt will be replaced by a wristband that serves as the “golden ticket” for access. Staff clarified that guests aged five and under are exempt from the daily guest fee and will not receive wristbands; children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult per existing facility rules.
Board and staff discussion focused on implementation details — e.g., how wristbands will be issued at facilities, whether the policy applies to club guests (it does not — club guests are governed by RRMPs), and how guest access affects busy amenities such as pickleball and tennis. Director Hurley requested a written procedure; operations staff confirmed the policy itself will serve as the guiding procedure and that staff will follow operational steps consistent with past receipt‑based practice.
Directors asked for a short follow‑up from operations after implementation; staff agreed to provide an update about three months after rollout to report on operational issues and any necessary adjustments.
Ending: The motion to approve the policy passed unanimously; board members and staff said the change responds to frequent resident requests and that the association will monitor implementation.
