Sun City board schedules Sept. 16 town hall and Sept. 25 vote on Mountain View options after Triarch programming
Summary
The Recreation Centers of Sun City Incorporated said consultant Triarch has completed programming for the Mountain View facility and will present concept options to members at a special town hall on Sept. 16, with the board planning to consider a motion on the project at its Sept. 25 meeting.
The Recreation Centers of Sun City Incorporated (RCSC) said consultant Triarch has completed programming for the Mountain View facility and will present concept options to members at a special town hall on Sept. 16, with the board planning to consider a motion on the project at its Sept. 25 meeting.
RCSC Vice President Chris Netassign said Triarch "met with multiple stakeholders" and used raw 2024 usage data through May to guide its recommendations. "After we determine what amenities should be at Mountain View based on member input, we kick the design phase off," Netassign said.
Why it matters: Mountain View has been a long-running RCSC priority. Board members and the consultant described the work as the end of programming and the start of design if the board picks one of the alternatives Triarch will present. Netassign said the Sept. 16 session will be live-streamed, moderated, and will include a presentation followed immediately by Q&A so members who cannot attend in person can participate via chat.
Board President Tom Foster told members the board has conducted multiple candidate interviews for general manager and is coordinating budget decisions tied to the golf advisory committee and the board's finance work. Foster said his goal is to "bring that motion to a vote" on Sept. 25 so the board can "put a stake in the ground" on which alternative to pursue, then carry that forward to subsequent readings and construction planning.
During the presentation, Netassign emphasized member-generated input: "This is all your information, your thoughts, your feelings, your wants, your needs that are being presented in the town hall. We purposely stayed out of the process because we wanted the member's voice to be heard loud and clear." She described Triarch's work as an "aggregate accumulative process" of stakeholder interviews and usage analysis that will produce base concept drawings.
A member and Netassign discussed a past court case while reviewing funding availability. Netassign said an earlier lawsuit named in the meeting — the Anne Randall Stewart litigation — had required returning PIF monies until the case was settled and that resolving the case allowed RCSC to resume using PIF funds for building projects.
What happens next: Triarch will present options at the Sept. 16 town hall, the board expects to hear member comments and then consider a motion at the Sept. 25 board meeting. If the board selects an alternative, staff said the design phase will begin and bidding for construction would follow. No final construction contract or start date was announced at this meeting.
Discussion vs. decisions: At this meeting the board and Triarch presented programming results and scheduled further public engagement; no formal action on Mountain View was taken or recorded.
Provenance: RCSC presentation of Triarch programming and board discussion beginning with the director Netassign update and concluding with remarks about moving into design and shovels-in-the-ground timing.
