Following are highlights from the April 11
meeting:
Old Business: Sun City resident Henrietta
Rapp asked about bocce court shades that were
installed at Sun Shadows. Henrietta said that they
do not offer enough shade for the players. After
considerable discussion, it was decided that Ken
Caroccia, CAP chairman, Dennis McGrew,
SCSCAI building maintenance manager and
Henrietta would re-assess the shades after the
meeting. Next, following a recommendation by
SCSCAI landscape manager Louis Darling, the
committee unanimously passed a motion to remove
the re pit at Desert Vista. e re pit has
not been used for 18 years.
New Business: Brandon Balek, SCSCAI building
maintenance supervisor, reported that LED
lights will be installed at all three buildings at
Mountain Shadows. e original estimate a year
ago was for approximately $50,000. Since then,
prices have dropped and Sun City is now looking
at an estimate closer to $30,000.
w e pools are all in compliance with the new
Clark County Health District requirements.
w e insurance inspector will be joining the
building inspectors.
w e curb drop-off area in front of the Highland
Falls entrance is being evaluated for expansion
as the area is often blocked by delivery trucks, etc.
After considerable discussion, Paul Henderson,
SCSCAI’s executive director, Dennis and Brandon
will look into the idea. A call will be
placed to the re marshall as there is a
re hydrant in the area.
Staff Update:
w Louis is rocking the greenbelt at Sun
City and Lake Mead boulevards, which
also includes nishing the corner area.
w e contractor for the Mountain
Shadows pool shade cover is still trying
to get the permit. e city has asked for
an additional survey.
w Work is progressing on the Mountain
Shadows enclosure. e contractor
has framed the area and the new AC
unit is expected soon.
w SCSCAI Fitness Manager Kristie
McWhorter reported that the shades at
Desert Vista and the Pinnacle tness centers are
being replaced. Pool furniture was replaced at
the Pinnacle. More umbrellas have been ordered
for Desert Vista. Sun Shadows will receive more
lounges on the patio for residents to use.
Team Leader Reports:
Allan Bell inspected with Louis and reported
that there are many trees in the community that
have broken branches and need to be looked at.
BOD member Karl Wiedemann reported
that the front entrance of Mountain Shadows
needs more lighting. Paul Henderson talked
with the city, and reported that the lights closest
to the entrance have been turned up so the
lighting should be better.
It was brought to the committee’s attention
that the framed photos in the card rooms at
Mountain Shadows are very small. Decorating
sub-com-mittee member Rhoda Ring will look
into updating the photos after the lighting is
changed.
