Shadow Hills Golf Club South Course
On October 31, 2022, the Board accepted the 2023 Budget as presented. This reflects a monthly assessment of $337, beginning January 2023. If you are not registered for automatic withdrawal through DRM, but are registered through your personal bank, please note, you will need to update the amount to be withdrawn with your bank. If you are registered via DRM, no changes will be necessary.
In addition, the 2023 Budget Mailer will be mailed to you on November 17, 2022. We encourage you to register for Email Consent. This procedure will allow the HOA staff to email you written correspondence expediting the communication process. The email consent form applies to SCSH mailers, i.e., the Budget mailer, Audit mailer, Courtesy Notices, Notice of Citations, etc. However, it will not apply to the Call for Candidates mailer, which is required to be sent via US postal mail. Signing up for Email Consent is beneficial for many reasons, including immediate receipt of HOA communications and cost savings for the Association, as each mailer costs approximately $16,000.00. Please sign up online at www.scshca.com/forms or at the Association Office.
If you have any questions, please contact the HOA Office at 760-345-4349.

The Board has retained Legal Counsel specializing in ABC Law to help sort out various questions and concerns related to the ABC Licenses that Sun City Shadow Hills holds and to make sure the Association and members can take full advantage of their licenses by understanding the various privileges and requirements associated with these licenses.
Legal Counsel will be working with the local ABC Department and officials in Sacramento to make sure we get a clear understanding of what is allowed and what may need some adjustments. We hope to receive a written response by November 10, 2022.
We understand that some of you are doing your own research and that is great. The Board is also doing their due diligence and are awaiting the legal opinion which will be shared with the community. If you have additional questions or concerns you may send those to Vanessa Ayon, Assistant General Manager at vanessa.ayon@associa.us.
We all look forward to getting these concerns addressed as soon as possible, especially with the holiday season fast approaching. The Board and Management cannot thank you enough for your patience during this time.

The Budget and 2023 Assessment
At this time of the year, a successful budget is on everyone’s mind. We have had two successful budget meetings attended by many homeowners who participated in the process with the Board, HOA management, and the Finance Advisory Committee. In this challenging economic time, we made a major effort to keep any necessary increase as low as possible and as manageable as possible consistent with preserving the assets and lifestyle that this community enjoys.
At the time of writing this article, the last budget meeting and final vote by the Board have not yet taken place. But the probable increase necessary will be in the neighborhood of $20 per month per homeowner, accounting for the increases in costs set out below. Unfortunately, your Board has little to no control over these increases and worked very hard to keep them as low as possible.
The Townhall
Our recent Townhall was so well attended that we practically ran out of chairs, and it was great to have so much community representation. Your Board always wants to hear from you. Many had responded to the survey sent out before the Townhall, and many chose to speak at the event. Please continue to stay involved and speak out. This is your community, so please use your voice. We are listening. You will soon receive follow-up surveys regarding the categories set out below. Be sure to let your Board know your thoughts to assist with future decision making.
Looking Back at 2022 Accomplishments
As we approach year-end, I would like to recap and highlight some of the many changes, upgrades, and improvements that have been made in our community this year, in no particular order:

Finance Advisory Committee Vice-Chair
As published in The View, November 2022:
Question of the month: What is the Finance Advisory Committee Subcommittee, and who are the members?
Each proposed HOA expenditure over $5,000 is reviewed by the Subcommittee, which sends its recommendation and comments to the Finance Advisory Committee.
The Subcommittee works to preserve our community by ensuring a due diligence structured and detailed proposal evaluation and contract negotiation process for contractor bid evaluations and selections and by keeping our reserves at a reasonable level. Members review each request and visit the site of the proposed expenditure to review the need for replacement or repair.
There are three members of the Finance Committee on the Subcommittee and five additional HOA volunteers experienced in construction, engineering, equipment, and procurement.
Members of the Subcommittee include:
The committee is searching for one additional member with experience in construction, engineering, or procurement. It is a very rewarding way to learn more about your HOA and contribute to the community. Applications are available on the SCSHCA website at www.scshca.com/committeeinterest.
