As published in The View, March 2024:
During the upcoming months, the Board will consider several critical actions. Each month, the Board receives requests from various committees, clubs, and vendors. As you know, my focus throughout my tenure on the Board has been âbelt tighteningâ during economically challenging times. We were able to keep the dues increase to a minimum this year and keep the Capital Reserve Fund at a safe level.
Most of the monies for these requests, if approved, come from the Replacement Fund because these projects keep our facilities from falling into disrepair. Hereâs a list of the requests the Board will consider over the next month.
Money for these projects will come from the Replacement Fund, and our dues fund this account. Therefore, the Board must ensure that items scheduled for replacement genuinely need replacing. The FAC and DRMâs facilities management team review and advise the board on this, and they do an excellent job.
This year, we managed to keep the dues increase to $9 per month. There are several upcoming projects that may lead to increased dues. With a set three-to-five- year plan, all associated costs should be transparent. We might be able to expand the facilities maintenance building area, build an RV parking lot, and expand and upgrade the Montecito CafĂ©. Therefore, itâs crucial for all residents to be part of the discussion before these decisions are made.
Remember, your opinion matters. Please take the time to vote early by mail or at the ballot drop boxes; or vote in person on the day of the Annual Meeting on April 2, 2024, at 9 a.m. in the Montecito ballroom.

Chair, Finance Advisory Committee
As published in The View, March 2024:
Question of the Month: Why do we have a Finance Advisory Committee?
The reality is that a five-person board cannot do everything that is necessary to carry on the day-to-day business of this Association. The board needs attorneys, management services from Desert Resort Management, auditors, reserve study experts, and advisory committees to assist it in doing what is necessary for this Association to function properly. One of those advisory committees is the Finance Advisory Committee (FAC), and it has specific duties assigned under its charter by the Board. This article is to highlight those duties so you will better understand what the Finance Advisory Committee does for you, the resident.
The current FAC Charter was approved on September 27, 2021, and contains the following advisory committee obligations:
I hope this provides you with a clear understanding of the duties of the FAC and why we are the âFinancial Watchdogâ for the residents of this Association.
