The ArrowCreek HOA Board, on its behalf and for the Association, disclaims responsibility for the content of any articles not au-thored by Board members or em-ployees. Articles of general interest on subjects reported or discussed at public Board meetings pub-lished in the newsletter are the responsibility of the residents submitting them.

ARROWCREEK HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION VOLUME 9, ISSUE 5

Discussions have begun with all residents about the proposal to purchase the golf

properties and open the club to all residents. It is important that we recap the events

leading up to this proposal.

In January of this year the previous owners of the golf course declared bankruptcy. This was

a result of the beginning of foreclosure proceedings which were instigated by Washoe County

to recover unpaid special assessments and water bills. At this time the Board formed a spe-

cial committee to follow the bankruptcy proceedings and to look into all aspects of golf in

Reno and the rest of the country.

After reviewing the bankruptcy plan submitted by the golf owners it was felt

that their plan was ill-conceived and undercapitalized. A group of Arrow

Creek homeowners formed a group called the FOA (Friends of Arrow Creek)

who submitted a bid for the property. The bid from the FOA was accepted by

the court on September 24, 2014. The FOA took possession of the property on

October 15, 2014 and has hired Arnold Palmer Golf, a nationwide operator of

golf courses, to run the golfing business in Arrow Creek. The new name is

The Club at ArrowCreek.

The new owners are open to granting the HOA a limited time option to purchase the Club at

ArrowCreek including the land, structures and golf operations. The terms of the option to

purchase are being negotiated at this time. This option to purchase will provide the ACHOA

Board and the ACCC the time to evaluate multiple impacts to the operation of the ACHOA.

The legal structure of the ACHOA, Articles of Incorporation changes, ACHOA Bylaw changes

and CC&R and changes must be established. In addition, the Reserve Fund impact with the

addition of new assets, and funding options for the purchase of the Club at ArrowCreek

must be finalized. We must also define the recreational and social services that will be pro-

vided to the ACHOA members and potential impacts to current monthly assessments being

paid by ACHOA members. These are significant issues that must be fully vetted for presen-

tation to the ACHOA members.

In addition the ACCC will continue to work with Arnold Palmer Golf in

structuring a joint venture arrangement that would become the vehicle to

manage the Club at ArrowCreek if the ACHOA members vote to purchase

the property. It is imagined that this Joint Venture will run the golf courses,

tennis courts, restaurants, residence center, resident center activities, social

activities, swimming pools, fitness center and other recreational activities within the

ACHOA. This is similar to current activities that are occurring at Somersett HOA concerning

their golf course operations and recreational facilities.

There are many details to the proposal but basically the homeowners would be asked for per-

mission to purchase the golf property and take out a mortgage to pay for the property. All

homeowners would be asked to pay increased monthly assessments for this. In return all

members would get a Social membership and have full use of the Community Club facilities

including access to the dining facilities and bar.

As a Board, we are presenting this to the homeowners for their considera-

tion. We know there are many details to be considered. Once the final letter

of understanding is agreed upon by the Board and Arnold Palmer Golf we

will unveil the final proposal to all homeowners. We have already heard

many comments both for and against the proposal. This is understandable

as it will affect all homeowners. I would encourage a healthy exchange of views from and

among all homeowners. Everyone has a legitimate point of view and we respect everyone’s

thoughts and suggestions.

We will be planning a series of town hall meetings and neighborhood

discussions so that all homeowners are properly informed of the cost

and benefits of the proposal. In the end it will be up to the homeown-

ers to make the final decision on this proposal. The Board will present

the details of the proposal and it is up to all owners to approve or dis-

approve. I would like to thank all homeowners who have taken the time and effort to con-

tact the Board and to participate in our meetings. It is healthy to debate and share opin-

ions. By the open and honest sharing of information, we all benefit and can be more com-

fortable with the choice we make. I believe that only through open and honest discussion, a

proper solution will be found.

ately.

Traffic enforcement:Traffic enforcement:Traffic enforcement:Traffic enforcement: Security is continuing to address the issue with speeding and running stop signs inside Arrowcreek.

While the overall speed in Arrowcreek is coming down, there are still several owner complaints about

tailgating when entering the main gate and when driving the posted speed limit inside the community.

Please be observant of other drivers. Driving around the resident lane gate arm is not allowed, this in-

cludes residents and guests. Please remind all guests that the resident is responsible for their actions

inside the Arrowcreek Community. We have had a great response and could not make it work without

the help of the residents. Security has seen many residents, and workers using Indian Ridge as a short cut, this

road is not intended to be a thoroughfare and should be used for residents living on this street. Please inform all

workers to use High Vista. If using Indian Ridge you must turn right onto High Vista.
