Mailed Notices From “Your Concerned ArrowCreek Neighbors”

Posted on October 4, 2015 by arrowcreek411

These notices, such as this one attached were received via mail by some homeowners in ArrowCreek very shortly after the ACHOA meeting where Rich Kenny outlined the HOA/FOA Agreement at the Special Golf ACHOA Board Meeting on Wednesday, Sept 16, 2015. It was not a large mailing from what we could discern. Also to notice, it was not mailed by the Concerned Neighbors of ArrowCreek (CNA). CNA had no knowledge of this flyer until some of the CNA members received it themselves. CNA would appreciate to be contacted by the individual or individuals who sent it as “Your Concerned ArrowCreek Neighbors” so we could join forces. See Ron Duncan’s contact information in the lower part of the right-hand column.

It is Time to Change the Way the Game is played.

Dear ArrowCreek Neighbors,

How many times in our lives are we presented an opportunity to make an impact on how the game is played?

The Hayek Group, a Reno Based 501(c)(3) Economic Educational organization is posed to make a difference in lives of our Northern Nevada High School Community. This is not some large organization with a multitude of paid fundraisers asking you to help make a difference 3000 miles away. This is local and as grassroots as it gets.

Today’s Reality is the result of some solvable issues:
• Fewer than half of all high school seniors in our country and community qualify as financially literate. Without financial literacy education, they will carry this lack of knowledge into adulthood.

• The existing school curriculum consists of three weeks of simple instruction during the High School Senior year.

• More than 7 million student loan borrowers are in default. Many more will never get out of debt in their lifetimes.

• Young people are facing tremendous financial challenges with out the knowledge needed to thrive in today’s economy.

The Solution is available and we in the local community can be part of that solution. Dave Ramsey’s Foundations in Personal Finance is the premier curriculum for teaching financial literacy. The curriculum is easy to use and completely turnkey. The 12-chapter curriculum is taught on DVD by a nationally known team of experts. This is a semester-long course that meets all state and national standards for personal finance/financial literacy. It has more than 100 activities that focus on providing 21st century personal finance knowledge and skills in a student-centered, competency-based approach to learning.

The Hayek Group is committed to working with the Ramsey Foundation to deliver this solution to Northern Nevada High Schools. But they can’t do it alone. They need your help. This year’s goal is to deliver the package to all Washoe County High Schools. The potential is that 1,400 students in the next year will have a life changing experience. There are many ways you can help.

Small & Medium Business Owners
If you are a small or medium business owner, we are making it possible for you to have a direct impact on your local community. By becoming a Hayek Educational Ambassador you will fund an entire High School for two full semesters (80 Students). The cost is just $2,500.00. We already have three local Ambassadors in this important contribution segment. The Hayek Group will work with the Ramsey foundation to take care of the details and deliver the package.

Please go now to www.hayekgroup.org and take the first step or contact me at tim.duvall@gmail for further information.

Large Companies
This is a unique opportunity designed just for you. Become a Silver State Ambassador. Your endorsement of the program will help us spread the program beyond Washoe County to the 40 remaining Northern Nevada High Schools. The cost is open. Just match a stated number of Small and Medium contributions. We will do the rest of the work.
Please go now to www.hayekgroup.org and take the first step or contact me at tim.duvall@gmail for further information.

Individual / Family Contributors
Every contribution helps. Just twenty-five parents and grandparents donating $100.00 each can change the lives of 80 students a year. Want to make a difference in your community. It can be accomplished by becoming an Associate Educational Sponsor. No donation is too small. Become part of the solution for Northern Nevada.
Please go now to www.hayekgroup.org to make a donation.

Reminder: ArrowCreek HOA Board Bid Opening Meeting October 6, 2015

Posted on October 1, 2015 by arrowcreek411

remember

Reminder: ArrowCreek HOA Board Meeting – Tuesday, October 6, 2015

The AC HOA Board will open bids for Pool/Spa maintenance and Street Sweeping on October 6, 2015 commencing at 5:00 pm. Meeting to take place at The AC Resident Center.

In addition, the Administration Committee (which has worked on the RFPs to procure the above bids) has also asked the HOA Board to allow time for presentations by the two HOA Management Company finalists. Each Management company will make a 10 minute presentation, followed by a question and answer session between the Management company representatives and Board members.

Residents of ArrowCreek are strongly encouraged to bring your written questions for these 2 companies to the meeting and submit the questions to the Board. A Board member will then ask the questions of the Management company representatives, on behalf of our residents.

At this time it is unclear whether the Management Company representatives will be allowed to remain at the meeting for the Open Comments portion at the end of the other agenda items.
Therefore, we encourage anyone wishing to ask a question to prepare it beforehand.

Questions the Administration Committee has asked the Management Companies to address are now posted on the AC Website.

We invite anyone interested in learning more about the management process in our community to attend this important Board meeting.

The Administration Committee will be meeting at 2:30 pm at the AC Maintenance Building on October 8, 2015, to review the RFP’s that were submitted to the Board and to discuss the HOA Management Company presentations.

The AC Board will be meeting on November 3, 2015, at 5:30 pm, to award the bids.

Majority Defined

Posted on September 29, 2015 by arrowcreek411

There have been heated discussions about the definition of “majority.”

CCR1stAmend

The CC&Rs’ first amendment changed the wording of Article XIII Section 4 (on page 41 of the current CC&R document [which is pdf page 47]) to the above words (which start on line 18 of the pdf page 51 of the current CC&R document).

The majority of lot owners and equivalent lot owners = not less than 547 votes.
1086 lots + 6 equivalent [golf club] lots = 1092 / 2 (i.e. 50%) = 546 +1 = 547 votes

BK Purchase Facts

Posted on September 28, 2015 by arrowcreek411

Based on bankruptcy documents, the calculation of the total value of the debt assumed and cash paid by the FOA to acquire the golf course assets was $1,972,398.

First is a bidding document filed by the FOA stating that bidders must agree to pay $1,892,398 based on a schedule (Exhibit 1 for the bidding document), which contains a list of the claims against the bankruptcy estate (e.g. debts) – highlighted in yellow. Included in the schedule is $160,000 in administrative expenses and unsecured creditors. Bidders would overbid above the $160K in $20K increments. The FOA outbid the former golf course owner at $240,000, or $80,000 above the opening bid, as reflected in the Transcript, and then in Findings of Fact Confirming Plan by the Court. Thus, the value of the total bid by the FOA was $1,972,398.

The facts can be summarized as follows:
1. FOA bought all the assets out of bankruptcy for $1,972,398
2. FOA wants the HOA to purchase land upon which the 36 holes sit for $3.3 million.
3. The HOA has not and will not get an appraisal of the fair market value of this land because the golf course is losing money.

Question:
Why should the FOA profit $1.4 million for the sale of only part of the assets it acquired?

Facts from Courthouse Documents

Posted on September 27, 2015 by arrowcreek411

I am just an Arrowcreek neighbor, not a FOA member, nor HOA board member. I am not a lawyer and I do not have a business degree. I am not a member of the Club at Arrowcreek. Please read the following facts at your own discretion.

Based on bankruptcy court documents from September and October of 2014, all public record, the FOA did purchase the Arrowcreek Country Club (now known as The Club at Arrowcreek) for $1.972M.

On 9/17/15, the FOA submitted to the Bankruptcy Court a request to approve a settlement agreement between the Washoe County and the FOA, that would reduce the Washoe County debt by about $218K, resulting in a total of about $1.2M debt owed by the FOA. The FOA has already made payments. If the settlement is approved at the hearing scheduled on November 5th, 2015, the FOA would pay the remaining balance of currently $652K in cash within 60 days. [60 Days? Where else have I recently heard 60 days??]

If this settlement with Washoe County is approved, the net purchase price for the golf club that the FOA actually paid is about $1.75M. (S1.972M purchase price minus $218K debt reduction).

The purchase price for 36 holes of the golf course property, without the club house, pump house and about 50 acres, as proposed by the FOA/HOA BOD is $3.3M.

The difference between FOA purchase price for the entire golf club property and assets ($1.75M) and the proposed HOA purchase price ($3.3M) for part of the assets (36 holes) is $1.55 M.

Does this look like the HOA board fulfilled its fiduciary duty and due diligence: to negotiate the lowest possible price for the HOA?

Is the S3.3M proposed purchase price based on or contingent on the most basic and customary steps of due diligence when buying real estate, such as:

an independent appraisal, data on what would be a fair market price,

on an inspection of the property and associated infrastructure: what is the condition/ life expectancy of the irrigation system and turf?

on the results of a complete Environmental Survey Report (ESR)?

Is the $1.55 M: profit for the FOA? That would be against our Articles of Incorporation.

Is the $1.55 M: an attempt to recover losses? Then we would make a poor business decision in buying the 36 holes of golf course.

Is the $1.5 M: a return on investments made? Is it a fair rate of return?

We are to vote within 60 days from the Special HOA meeting on 9/16/15 on the purchase proposal for the golf course property. That gives us a deadline of November 15th, 2015.

Beware the Lollipop of Mediocrity…

Posted on September 26, 2015 by arrowcreek411

20150926_122348…lick it once and you will suck forever. (Brian Wilson)

DON’T BE A SUCKER!!!!! The homeowners are under NO OBLIGATION, legal OR moral, to bail out our “friends.” They made the decision to go behind our backs with the board and buy the golf course from the bankruptcy court. No one asked them to do so, nor were we asked for our opinion on them doing so!

Do you:

1) feel like exposing yourself to more of this BS?

2) want to essentially become a landlord with people you don’t and cannot trust who have a business likely to ultimately fail?

3) continue to have your peace of mind compromised like it has been FOR THE PAST YEAR?!!!

Let them run their business into the ground or otherwise. We can meet them at the bankruptcy court when they file and buy the land for pennies on the dollar.

Don’t be a sucker! You’ve worked too hard for your money to hand it over to these people so they can laugh all the way to the bank!!!!!
