A LOOK BACK AT 2011 THROUGH THE EYES OF THE L&R COMMITTEE

L&R COMMITTEE 2011 YEAR END REPORT

From Deirdra Price, L&R Chair

 As 2011 closes, I would like to let you know about the significant accomplishments your L&R Committee and L&R Management has made during the year. Our primary goal continues to be maintaining the Shores as a first class community while upgrading our facilities with attractive, durable, and cost-effective improvements.

FINANCE: The year will end with a variance favorable to the 2011 budget. The exact amount will be known in February 2011. The L&R Committee was able to accomplish a great deal while staying within budget. The 2012 budget is very close to the 2011 budget with an overall increase of less than 1%. The Capital Replacement Budget has increased in anticipation of enhancements being planned for 2012.

NEW SUB-COMMITTEES: I appointed three new standing sub-committees: Landscaping, Recreation, and Facilities. These sub-committees are made up of L&R Committee members who are tasked with overseeing these specific areas. The sub-committee members have written mission statements and goals. They also appointed a chair and secretary. The sub-committees meet once a month. Homeowners are welcome and encouraged to come to all meetings.

       1.  LANDSCAPING: The Landscaping Sub-Committee is working with L&R Management and the landscaping maintenance company to maintain and improve the Shores grounds. Landscape professionals are being considered for upcoming projects. The first area to be addressed in 2012 will be the entrance at Avenida De Las Arenas.

       2.  RECREATION: The Recreation Sub-Committee oversees activities at the Beach Club, Health Club, Roeder Pavilion, pools, tennis courts, and the Family Activities Program. They work closely with the Beach Club Sub-Committee. With input from the Recreation Sub-Committee, the 60/40 participation rule was dropped. A new tennis court activity called “Pickle Ball” will be given a six month trial period starting in January.

       3.  FACILITIES: The Facilities Sub-Committee oversees the Beach Club, Health Club, and Roeder Pavilion physical facilities in conjunction with L&R Management. Since the feasibility study for a new Fitness Center was not passed by a majority of the L&R Committee, the Facilities Sub-Committee is in the beginning stages of working on upgrading and renovating the existing Health Club. They

 

 

are also working on a plan to enhance and renovate the bathrooms at Cabrillo, El Camino, and Roeder pools.  

ENHANCEMENTS: Public signs throughout the Shores have been changed to white-painted wood with blue lettering to create a cohesive look. The pool and retaining walls have two new paint colors. An off- white is for the interior and exterior pool walls and a pale sea green is for the low retaining walls. All of the interior and exterior pool walls at the Cabrillo pool were painted this year. The Roeder Pavilion building will be painted in the same color next year. The Roeder Pavilion interior will also get new paint and carpeting within the next few weeks. The Cabrillo pools have new blue pool tiles that were installed when both pools were repaired. Some new pool furniture is purchased every year to replace the oldest pieces. New tennis court lights were installed on two courts. The Underground will have a retractable room divider installed in January that will separate the conference area from the office area when meetings are being held in the conference area.

BEACH CLUB: The Beach Club continues to provide residents and their invited guests with many scheduled activities, special events, and programs throughout the year. Monday Night Football, Bingo, Friday Night Dances, and themed parties such as the Halloween Party were very successful. Drink prices will modestly increase in 2012.

SECURITY: The computer system was upgraded. Rules enforcement continues to be more of a challenge during the summer months so Pool Monitors are stationed at each of the pools.

ADMINISTRATION: The L&R Office has a new staff member, Karen Bedford. During 2011, the L&R Office was open 5 days a week and closed on weekends, except during the summer months when the office was open on Saturdays. Photo ID’s are available during regular office hours.

 

On behalf of the L&R Committee and its employees and staff, I wish all of our residents a happy, healthy, and prosperous new year.
