achoa board goal setting 2020 Directors of the ArrowCreek Board got together on January 13, 2020 to talk about assorted visions for ArrowCreek. For the first time in years, all the Board members elected in December were returning Board members. Because of that continuity, the discussions quickly turned to a nuts and bolts discussion of general topics that the Board would like to address in the upcoming years.

The Board members first reviewed the status of completed or nearly completed projects. Updates included:

» The remaining new street signs have been ordered. The ArrowCreek staff intends to install the signs as they are delivered.

» The bocce ball courts are in.

» The final version of a survey of the

residents has been completed, and results should be compiled within a few months. The Board members agreed that results of the survey should help the Board to prioritize spending in the upcoming year.

The Board also reviewed the status of ongoing projects. Updates included:

» Additional bidding has been requested

for work needed on the ArrowCreek entry bridges, and action may have been taken at the February Board meeting.

» Other projects planned for 2020 include road work, irrigation replacement, pickleball court resurfacing and painting the Residents’ Center.

» Board members suggested that we get information about the cost of some upgrades, including the possibility of adding roundabouts at two intersections, updating landscaping, adding sidewalks in Granite Pointe I, adding dog mitt stations on Echo Ridge and Rabbit Ridge and putting a sun screen over the kiddie pool.

» A final trail map project should be completed in the coming weeks. All agreed that the map will not be finalized without additional review, comment, and Board approval at a scheduled and public meeting.

» The group agreed that a few questions

should be discussed and resolved at the February Board meeting, including whether there should be a policy about providing meals to the Board and Committees and whether Fire Fuels and Safety Committees should be combined for efficiency.

» Discussion of additional updates to the

Residents’ Center should likely be deferred until completion of the updates to The Club at ArrowCreek to determine whether the Club’s increased amenities impact use of the amenities at the Residents’ Center.

The Board members then focused on the “big picture” for the Association.

» The 2017 Strategic Plan created a five-year vision through 2021.

» Much of the plan, designed to create the most vibrant community in Northern Nevada, focused on increasing communication and cooperation within the community and branding and positive publicity in the Reno area.

» The Board agreed that an updated Strategic Plan should be developed to respond to the changing demographics and needs of the community.

» Much of the Board members’ discussion focused on how best to balance the ongoing need to maintain and update ArrowCreek with the strong desire to keep monthly assessments as low as feasible.

2020 Census: be counted! The U.S. Constitution mandates a census of the population every 10 years. The 2020 Census will count everyone who lives in the U.S. as of April 1, 2020 (Census Day). Census statistics help determine the number of seats each state holds in the U.S. House of Representatives and how billions of dollars in federal funds will be allocated by state, local, and federal lawmakers every year for the next 10 years. Census results have an impact on planning and funding for health clinics and highways, fire departments and disaster response, education programs such as Head Start and college tuition

assistance, and so much more. In midMarch, the U.S. Census Bureau will begin mailing invitations to households across the country with instructions on how to participate in the 2020 Census. Most households will receive an invitation by April 1, 2020. People can respond online, by phone or by mail. Additionally, about one-quarter of households will receive a follow-up paper questionnaire at that time. Beginning in mid-April, households that have not responded will receive a paper questionnaire.
