May 27 Meeting Minutes

In Attendance: Spencer Angerbauer, Tod Bean, Dawn Berbert, Wendy Weaver, Denise Borst, Jessica Riessen, Paul Tonks, DeLaina Tonks, Scott Blackmer, Barbara Blackmer, Nate Crowther, Reed Sherman, Carol Sparks, Phil VanDiggelen, Lance Unwin, Amy Baird, Steve Seastrand, Nancy Seastrand, Chuck Stolfa, Sarah Kocsis, Karl Burns, Gary Vaughan, Jeri Vaughan, Clark Harvey, George Simmons, Jim Reynolds, Usher Portman,Jason Koop, Jennifer Koop, Jake from the Market, and about 10 others.

1. Market Update-hanging in there, waiting for the new developer to take over. After the SR.org media campaign, sales increased by 20%. Shortly afterwards, Harmon's opened and sales decreased by 20%, so at least the Market is breaking even. Keep spending that $40 a week!

You've probably noticed the Snowie Shack at the back of the market-scrumptious, ice-cold Snowies for only $1.00 is a pretty good deal.

2. Transportation Committee Update-Sarah Kocsis is working with ASD Transportation Services, the OA, and eventually the new developer to make the road in front of the Rec Center a permanent one-way access road. Buses will be coming up and down 9 times a day due to early and late start schedules, and it's impossible for traffic to pass through when buses are there.

As a side note, please let new neighbors know to register their kids ASAP for Kindergarten (in either district) if they haven't already done so. Staffing needs at the school are filled based on the number of students who have registered.

3. OA Update-See calendar items and previous posts for Movie Night, Garage Sale info etc.

Also, SunCrest Lagoon Day will be Saturday, July 26th. Tickets can be picked up at the OA trailer to the south of the Market.

There will soon be a Web site touting the "SunCrest Half" Marathon that will take place on Sept. 13th. Mark your calendars and check the blog in the next couple of weeks for te Web site address!

OA has organized, and OA Board has approved, the following 3 committees:

At least 3 homeowners are needed to serve on each, but more than 3 would be terrific. To inquire about these, or to sign up, contact tbean@ccmcnet.com or call 572-1233.
*Communications: informs residents of the purpose and function of the OA, publicizes activities and events, provides programs, articles and input to other committees about developments and activities of OA.
Helps provide articles for Newsletter. Goal: "consistent quality communications."
*Budget and Finance: Reviews current financial status, recommends an Association operating budget, advises the Board of Directors on investment of Association funds.
*Landscape: Be available to community members for needs, concerns and suggestions. Regularly review policy-level landscape maintenance and potential improvement issues. Makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding Landscape Maintenance Contract specifications and landscape improvement projects. Examines effectiveness of landscape maintenance. Makes recommendations to Board of Directors and Community Manager, regarding communal landscaping.

This is a terrific opportunity to get involved!

4. School District Solutions-head's up to be thinking about resolving SL County residents' ability to attend ASD indefinitely. If there are measures we can put in place that WILL NOT jeopardize SL County JSD students from losing their transportation and standing, we would like to explore them.

If you are in SL County, it would be a good idea to get to know the School Board Candidates for the new district and make sure they understand the situation here in SunCrest.

5. SunCrest for Auction-we know of two of the potential developers interested in biding on SunCrest. The hearing is two weeks away on June 16th, and we will have someone at the hearing to keep us up to date.

OA Board Candidates and YOUR Voting Member Info

All righty, everyone should have heard by now that the Voting Members (remember the ballots that were mailed to you a couple of months ago? The VM's are the people you elected to vote on your behalf in the upcoming Board election.) will be voting on an OA Board Member this Thursday, June 5th at 6:00 at the Draper Library.

Only Voting Members get to vote, but I'm sure they'd appreciate some input from people in their neighborhoods, so scroll down to the May 1st post that lists all of your Voting Members, and let them know what you think.

Here are the candidates running for the OA Board position:

Dawn Berbert
Barbara Blackmer
Ruth Colbert

Bus Stop Procedures for Last Day of School

To Parents of Ridgeline Elem. Students,

First, I wanted to thank you for your cooperation with the new bus stop procedures (with the exception of a few incidents).
With these procedures, we have eliminated the safety issues and the School District Transportation Office, as well as our bus drivers, are very thankful.
So thank you! I also wanted to give a HUGE thanks to the dedicated volunteers who have served us so well.
I really appreciate their willingness to help.

The bus stop schedule for tomorrow, Friday, is different.
The bus pick up for the Elementary will be at 8:20am. So be sure to get there before entering traffic will be blocked off at 8:18am.
With school getting out at 10:15am the buses will be dropping our children back off at 10:45am.

I hope everyone enjoys their summer!

Sincerely,
Sarah Kocsis
SunCrest Transportation Committee Chair

SunCrestResidents.org Meeting this Tuesday

Don't forget! Our May meeting will be this Tuesday, May 27, at 8:00 P.M. at the park in The Cove. The gates will be open from 7:45-8:00. After that, I guess you'll have to just honk really loud and someone can let you in.

It's supposed to be partly cloudy, but we've been having more than our fair share of snow in SunCrest over the past couple of weeks, so wear a jacket just in case. Also, seating space at the picnic tables is limited, so bring chairs if you have them.

Important agenda items consist of a market update, an OA Board update, a calendar update, and a gathering of preliminary input on whether or not we should lobby the legislature to put SunCrest as a whole into Alpine District.

We aniticipate a relatively short meeting of only an hour. Come and have some fun with us!
