Reserve Study, CC & R’s, Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation:

Several years ago the Board of Directors was advised by our attorney of the passage of the Davis -Sterling Common Interest Development Act. This law contains numerous statues governing the operation of homeowners associations such as Rancho Santa Teresa. Some of the provisions are mandatory and some are optional. One of the major requirements of the Act is conducting a replacement reserve study. The study estimates the remaining useful life of major components at the club such as the roof, pool plaster, pool heater, rugs, stove etc. Based on this analysis an annual funding schedule is developed to create a fund to pay for the replacement of worn out components of the club.

A consultant conducted a reserve study. In discussing the consultant’s report, the Board raised a number of questions that required legal advice. As the Board currently does not have a lawyer under retainer, we decided to request a law firm specializing in real estate law to review our existing Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and CC & R’s and to submit a proposal for their revision. The Board then created a sub-committee comprised of homeowners and Board Members to review the attorney’s proposal and to make recommendations to the Board on a course of action. At the June Board meeting the Board heard recommendations from the sub-committee. See the actions taken on the recommendations posted in the Minutes at the club.

Troop 227 Scouting News

Troop 227 is getting ready for a summer of fun and adventure. June was our annual campout at Mt. Madonna. This campout is aimed at refining basic scouting skills. It allows the younger scouts to learn what they need to advance while providing a refresher for the older boys. In July we will be holding our Family Campout. This year we will be camping on the Merced River just a few miles outside Yosemite. This is also an annual event where the families are invited to go camping with the scouts. It’s a relaxing weekend of swimming, fishing, or just lounging by the river. Troop 227 meets at the club on Thursday evenings from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM . Our July theme is swimming and water safety. We encourage boys between the ages of 11(10 1/2 if bridging from Cub Scouts) and 17 to visit during a meeting and see what we are all about. We have an exciting program which promises to be filled with fun and adventure, as well as learning life skills and good citizenship. Scouting is committed to provide a safe wholesome environment for boys.
