Jeb Bush in Reno

Posted on August 10, 2015 by arrowcreek411

Ok. The second Republican has planned a Reno stop. How many are left to go, 14? Maybe The Donald will come, too. Maybe we could interest him in investing in another golf course to add to his holdings. . . !

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is coming to The Club at ArrowCreek on Aug 15. Great that this is an AP release. Too bad it didn’t have the club’s new name in it.

Neighbor to Neighbor Walk & Talk

Posted on August 8, 2015 by arrowcreek411

By Wayne Krachun

I spent this afternoon walking my neighborhood, meeting my neighbors, asking how informed they were about the golf course situation, and whether they had formed an opinion. Undecided and Against HOA purchase neighbors were very engaging. They are interested, say they are informed, and express concern over the uncertainty of costs. One gent invited us into his house and we talked for 40 minutes. A kind woman offered us homemade cookies.

Three neighbors support the HOA purchase. No conversation with two of them; their minds were made up, they had no questions, we thanked them and moved on. I was really taken aback at the third one, though. She was willing to talk a bit, and her matter of fact point was that if mandatory ownership occurs, no big deal, the market will adjust. Those who don’t like it, might not want to remain in ArrowCreek.

And you see, that’s the problem I have with entitled, selfish people. They expect the vast majority of non-golfers to subsidize the purchase and operation of a minority’s expensive hobby.

MANDATORY ownership or membership with UNLIMITED financial liability is a very bad idea.

TMWA Plan for Groundwater Sustainability on the Mt Rose Fan

Posted on August 8, 2015 by arrowcreek411

As ArrowCreek homeowers, we received the following letter in today’s USPS mail concerning groundwater resources in the Mt. Rose fan area, which includes ArrowCreek.

Since the merger of Truckee Meadows Water Authority (TMWA) with the Washoe County Department of Water Resources (WCDWR) and the South Truckee Meadows General Improvement District (STMGID) water systems, TMWA has been working on enhancing groundwater resources in the Mt. Rose Fan area. There is a map on the last page of the letter.

I couldn’t find the letter as softcopy on the Truckee Meadows Water Authority website so I’ve scanned in our letter here.

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

Posted on August 7, 2015 by arrowcreek411

ConsequencesAt work we have been discussing the best ways to determine key decisions and risks on our new project and then how to determine that we can identify the best solutions for our problems.

Then I had to laugh out loud (LOL) because the same sort of exercise probably should have been used for determining certain ArrowCreek financial matters.

For the nerds and number-crunchers of ArrowCreek, I offer the following website of Tools for Decision Analysis for their fun and enjoyment:

Tools for Decision Analysis

It is a course by Dr. Hossein Arsham, FICA, FOR, FRSS, FWIF. He is The Wright Distinguished Research Professor at the University of Baltimore and Teaching Professor at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School.

A PDF File with live links to on-line subjects is here.
