SUN CITY HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION

2016 APRIL NEWSLETTER

In March, SCHOA held its winter New Residents Orientation that was attended by over 100 new Sun Citians as well

as Community services organizations. Ben Roloff, SCHOA Vice President, shared his wealth of knowledge of Sun

City complete with pictures and stories. Clint Hickman, Maricopa County Supervisor from District 4, was introduced

to new residents sharing what is going in their “new district.” Steve Oaks, a new Sun City resident, said “I found the

presentations educational and the speakers entertaining; it’s

good to more about our great community. I think this is a very

good forum to learn about Sun City from a variety of sources

in a short period of time. Thank you for putting on such a good

community welcome session; well run and professionally

conducted.” The orientations are designed to offer an

opportunity for new residents to meet one another in an

interactive environment to learn about their new Community.

The Town Hall Meeting with an interactive panel from the Sun

City Community Fund and Valley of the Sun United Way

addressing “Retire United” also took place in March. The focus

of this event was to offer attendees the many choices they now

have following retirement. After making the decision to retire,

many residents find themselves wondering “What do I do

now?” The panel consisting of retirees who have made

decisions to open businesses, volunteer, go back to work and

yes, enjoy this time of life, shared their experiences how to live

a happy and fulfilling life into the 60’s, 70’s and beyond.

Sponsored by SCHOA and Valley of the Sun Retire

United, there was a very lively and informative

Page 2: SUN CITY HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION 2016 APRIL · PDF fileSUN CITY HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION 2016 APRIL NEWSLETTER ... BNI Profit Prospectors ... we announced that more than 25,000 dogs

conversation. It was MC’d by Jim Green. Each panel member in their own way is “giving back” by sharing

knowledge as well as resources about how to live a happy and satisfying life through their involvement with

the Valley of the Sun United Way. There was a rich question and answer session as well as bringing more

clarity about the different involvement opportunities available and numerous services offered for the

residents of Sun City. Look forward to more events of this nature to educate and to conduct service projects

and foster socializing in our community. For additional information on Retire United, contact Carla Snyder

at 602 631 4884 or visit vsuw.org/retire”. Jim Green, president of the Sun City Community Fund, led the panel

in its discussion as well as enlightening meeting attendees with the history of the SCCF and its ongoing investment,

value and opportunities it offers to Sun City. Mr. Green recognized Gene Turiano, Assistant Manager, for his

investment and continuing support of Sun City and its residents. Gene assists residents when they apply for assistance

through the Sun City Community Fund as well as other SCHOA outreach programs.

SCHOA hosted the March Legislative Forum which was attended by local representatives from District 21 (Sun City)

and District 22 (Sun City West). The monthly event is held while the legislature is in session and includes Board

members from SCHOA as well as PORA. The community is invited to attend.

The 2016 Home and Garden Show is scheduled to take place on April 6 at the Sundial Center in Sun City with exhibit

space being “sold out.” This is the sixth annual event and was previously the Open Aire Market designed as an

outdoor event; this year all exhibitors will be located in the auditorium or mall. Last year over 180 businesses and

organizations attended to market their services. Many of the exhibitors are members of SCHOA’s Business Partner

Program. Members have met the qualifications that are required. The event is an opportunity for residents to meet

Business Partners “face to face” and to learn about their respective services. Businesses other than registered

Business Partners are welcome to attend; however, there is a discount for members. Membership information is

available by contacting the SCHOA office at 623 974 4718, ext. 204.

SCHOA offers dedicated advertising opportunities to its Business Partners through the website

(www.suncityhoa.org), advertising in the monthly newsletter as well as the

annually published Community Information Guide. This publication is

distributed throughout Sun City and is kept as a resource tool. Limited

advertising space is available. It is recommended that interested businesses

contact the office by the end of May if they would like to be included. A

directory has also been added to this publication offering space to include a

business name and contact phone numbers. The Community Information

Guide is given to all new Sun City residents.

Yes, 2016 is busy for SCHOA as we look forward to a new addition,

supporting the mission of “Providing for the wellbeing of Sun City through

fair and universal compliance with the CC&Rs,” and continuing to offer

programs and events for residents and SCHOA Business Partners as well as

enriching our partnerships with service organizations for the benefit of Sun City. During March, the roof and walls

were installed as well as demolition began in the existing building to upgrade and enlarge the restrooms. At this time,

completion is anticipated in late spring. SCHOA will continue to keep the Community updated regarding the progress

of the building project.

The SCHOA Board of Directors Board meetings take place the fourth Tuesday of each month, at 9:00 a.m. In April

the meeting will take place at the Fairway Center on April 26. The Community is invited to attend all Board

meetings.

SUPERVISOR HICKMAN’S COUNTY UPDATE

“I’m pleased to report that there’s been good news coming from our Animal Shelters. In early March, with our animal

care community, we announced that more than 25,000 dogs and cats in Maricopa County have been saved from

euthanasia since 2012. That’s a decrease of 71%. New animals coming into our shelters are down 38%, and

spay/neuters are up 15%. All of this means we are adopting out more animals or making sure they return home. Visit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQdcyJ3NvX8 on how you can volunteer your time.

The other piece of big news is that I, along with Sheriff Arpaio and County Attorney Montgomery, reached out to

State legislators to let them know we’re ready for them to stop shifting state costs to County taxpayers. More than

half of the County’s budget is spent on law enforcement and public safety, which are not optional functions of

government. The ability to deliver justice fairly and

efficiently for citizens is dependent on having proper

funding for deputies, attorneys and judges.

And, on a lighter note, I enjoyed visiting White Tank

Library, one of the County’s 17 libraries, to

introduce some new programs to children and their

families. One program allows them to “check out”

seeds – they really plant them. Another program lets

children borrow a pair of binoculars for the week.

The goal of the program is to better connect kids with

our desert landscape.

I enjoyed meeting new residents at the most recent

Sun City New Residents’ Orientation as well as

seeing familiar faces again. As ever, please feel free

to contact me with your comments, questions, and

concerns.

In your service, Clint Hickman, District 4

Chairman, Maricopa County Board of Supervisors

www.maricopa.gov/dist4 , 602-506-7642

SENATOR DEBBIE LESKO IS

AVAILABLE TO SUN CITY RESIDENTS I hope you are having a wonderful spring! I’m really

enjoying it. Every morning I eat my oatmeal outside and enjoy the weather and singing birds. Every night I look up

at the sky and see the stars and moon through palm trees.

I grew up in Wisconsin where tulips might be breaking through the snow at this time of the year, so I view Arizona

as vacation land and am thankful I’m here.

It is the busy time at the state capitol. We are analyzing and voting on legislation every day and sometimes into the

night. I hope you know that I am always available for you. [email protected] or 602-926-541

PUBLIC SAFETY CRISIS FACING SUN CITY CITIZENS – Sun City Fire Department Update

Recently Arizona lawmakers have ignored a serious and growing problem concerning public safety agencies ability

to deliver services. The legislature refuses to pass bills that would rectify the way that fire districts’ are funded costing

firefighter/paramedic positions and have caused the closure of stations and reduction of front-line apparatus that are

responsible for delivering services within several Arizona communities. Taxpaying citizens are being forced to suffer

longer response times and in some cases go completely without service due to this ignoring of the issue.

Page 5: SUN CITY HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION 2016 APRIL · PDF fileSUN CITY HOME OWNERS ASSOCIATION 2016 APRIL NEWSLETTER ... BNI Profit Prospectors ... we announced that more than 25,000 dogs

In 2005 the Arizona legislature established an

artificial “cap” which froze the amount a fire district

could levy from property taxes limiting the income

brought in to support operations within the district.

Since that time the United States suffered a major

economic downturn. The result of this situation

caused fire districts to lose vital funding for

operations while request for services continued to

climb. Inflation continued in regards to fuel cost,

utilities, maintenance, labor, and other services that

are required to maintain the districts’ assets and

employee costs. While costs continue to escalate, the

state has failed to make adjustments to the cap that

equal the inflation rate. Stated plainly, your Sun City

Fire District has not received a raise since 2005.

Further limitations imposed by the passage of

Proposition 117 limited the recovery of property

values as it pertains to the tax rate to not more than

5% per year. In 2008 the economic downturn

experienced nationwide caused property values in

Sun City to drop by 48%. As a result of Proposition

117 it will take the Sun City Fire District

approximately 20 years to recover to the rate that the

District operated under in 2008. Consequently the

District had to eliminate 16 positions and shut down

one front-line response unit. This resulted in negative outcomes and longer response times in emergency situations

for our citizens.

For the first time in its history, The Sun City Fire District has had to rely on responses from neighboring communities

to meet the requests for 14,000 emergency calls per year. Furthermore, the District has had to apply for grants and

propose a bond to replace badly needed firefighters and an aging apparatus fleet to meet the needs of our community.

While we have received a grant from the federal government for an additional 12 firefighters which allows us to

return our fourth front-line apparatus to service, this grant is only in effect for two years. The upcoming bond would

replace two outdated apparatus and refurbish two others thereby increasing reliability of our fleet while driving down

maintenance costs.

It is important to note that these measures can only temporarily bridge the gap in service for a finite period. Your

state legislators have been briefed and are well aware of this crisis. They have failed to step up and deal with the issue

and ignored Governor Ducey’s priority regarding government’s number one responsibility, “public safety”. If the

legislature continues to ignore the issue, public safety service to citizens throughout the State will continually be

compromised. Unresolved, the Sun City Fire and Medical Department will need to lay off the 12 firefighters granted

to us through FEMA and once again shut down one front-line apparatus within two years. The Sun City Fire and

Medical Department belongs to you, the citizens of Sun City. If you have any concerns regarding this issue please

contact your legislators and let them know how important it is to you to fix this issue. Time is short and inaction will

only cause further deterioration of public safety service delivery.

SCHOA HISTORY TIDBITS CONTINUED

SCHOA’S ROOTS (PART 2)

Last month we learned that SCHOA’s origins trace all the way back to January, 1961, and that the mission from day

one has always been completely separate from recreation providers. For example, at one time there was a board of

directors to oversee recreation at Community Center (Oakmont) and a separate recreation board for Town Hall.

(Fairway) When the third center, Town Hall South (Mountain View), was erected Webb officials determined two

recreation boards were maybe one too many and

consolidated the two Town Hall sites under a single board

but left the Community Center in place until 1968

While it was Webb’s decision for two recreation boards, it

was the early residents who determined that only one civic

organization to represent all current and future residents

made sense. Thus, SCHOA has always operated separately

with early officials and employees housed in an office

provided by Webb Corp. in the Grand Avenue Shopping

Center just west of 107th Ave.

As the first active retirement community anywhere in the

world, Webb developers didn’t have a blue print to follow

in the area of funding and governance. Mistakes were

made. The Community Center had voluntary dues to

support recreation. SCHOA also relied on voluntary

payments to fund its operations. In contrast, Town Hall and

Town Hall South area residents signed facilities agreements

mandating annual payments. While SCHOA became the

largest HOA in the country, its voluntary funding was noted

by HOAs to follow but not emulated.

With that background in place, future articles will flush out

how SCHOA’s early leaders defined the role of the

organization. A partial list of topics includes: trash haulers

and rates, the “missing” streetlights, getting the attention of

the Arizona Corporation Commission regarding sewer and

water rates, incorporation of Sun City, initial enforcement

of the CC&Rs, forming a “Sheriff’s Squadron,” providing

“Sunshine Service,” selling medical insurance to seniors,

funding a fire department, and selling fire hydrants. Next month the fun part of Sun City’s history begins.

Stay tuned, more to follow!

MARCH COMPLIANCE CORNER

Juicers and Quail Blocks (welcome new owners!)

Like many of us who relocated to Sun City from the Frozen North, I dreamed of owning a home with beautiful citrus

trees. It was one of my goals to walk out into the yard in the afternoon sunshine, pick a big orange or grapefruit, and

just squeeze it into my cocktail glass. My thinking was that this would be particularly satisfying on days where

blizzard conditions prevailed at my old address up on the tundra. To insure that I always had healthy orange and

grapefruit juice in the off-season, I would buy a nice juicer and fill my extra freezer with juice.

When my wife and I first went shopping for some necessities after moving to Sun City, we were asked by a checkout

cashier if we had found all we were looking for. “No,” I replied. “I need a juicer.”

“Oh,” she said. “First year here in Sun City?” How could she have known? She advised us that the best selection

was at local second-hand stores where they had been donated. She was right. The following year while making some

donations to our favorite second-hand store/charity, a clerk looked over my items, noticed the juicer and asked,

“Second year here in Sun City?”

Juicing is not all it is cracked up to be, and I found you can only drink so many gallons of grapefruit juice despite it

only being a mixer. The same holds true for orange juice. But, like many of us, I had to personally have the juicer

experience. And my wife and I had to personally have the “aren’t those quail cute?” experience, too. Our car smelled

like a quail block.

What does all this have to do with compliance and our CC&R’s? Well, as most of us now know, citrus and quail

blocks are a big part of the diet of local rats. If the fruit is not picked up, or if your trees are not gleaned as needed,

you will get rats. If you have quail blocks out to feed the quail, you will feed the rats as well. You will also attract

pigeons; it is a violation of our CC&R’s to feed anything which advertently or inadvertently results in the presence

of pigeons.

So please keep your fruit picked up, your trees gleaned, and avoid quail blocks. The rats and their cousins the pigeons

need no help from us. Thank you for your compliance.
