2021 FINANCIAL REPORT
Green Valley Recreation is, by no accident, projected to finish the fiscal year in a strong
position once again. Projected revenues for 2021 stand at $11,039,575, comparable to pre-Covid revenues. A brisk real estate market is the hero of that story. On the expense side, GVR’s 2021 expenses are projected to come in only $221,000 higher than in 2019, despite cost increases for insurance, personnel benefits, and many operational materials.

Cimarron Circle built the pool and spa at Santa Rita Springs. 3. The Corporate Policy Manual was amended to include information for the new Maintenance, Repair and Replacement -- Part B Fund mentioned above in item 1. 4.

NOVEMBER 2021
2021 FINANCIAL REPORT Continued from p1 for 2022, 20 of which will be full time. The balance is in Administrative Services which includes IT, Finance, Communications, HR, the CEO, and Administrative support personnel. All seventeen Administrative Services staff are expected to be full time in 2022. When there are surpluses at the end of the year, the Board customarily moves that money into reserve funds. Those funds are used for capital projects such as building the new East Center pool, as well as scheduled MR&R activities such as resurfacing or replacing flooring, remodeling locker rooms, and repainting rooms and sports courts. Per GVR’s Bylaws and Corporate Policy Manual, the annual budget “shall be guided by the actual expense of operating the recreational facilities…including a reasonable reserve for Capital Replacements, with the objective of operating the facilities on a self-sustaining basis.” The annual budget drives decisions about member dues and fee increases, and the scope of the programs offered. GVR’s annual budget process begins in August with department heads submitting requests for the coming year that are based on past expenses and the expected work activities indicated by the Five-year Strategic Plan, the MRR schedule, and projected capital projects as approved by the Board of Directors. The Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer then work with individual department heads to prune and fine tune before submitting a budget to the Fiscal Affairs Committee (FAC) of the Board of Directors. The FAC can then amend the budget before submitting to the Board for approval. See page 4 for an overview of the 2022 budget. The full 2022 Budget is also available at GVREC.org under the Governance tab.
SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS: ADDRESSING MEMBER CONCERNS Watch for improved signage at the racquet sports courts, designed to ensure that players calling emergency services can readily provide an accurate address for their location. At Las Campanas, a pilot project is underway to consolidate emergency-response equipment in bold, recognizable stations.

unique population of approximately 23,756 Members in Green Valley Arizona. Our lean ratio of 1 staff position to every 247 Members demonstrates how we strive to make every dollar count. The pandemic has presented a number of challenges over the past two years but has also provided opportunities to look at GVR operations and push for efficiencies. GVR continues to look for opportunities to minimize costs and improve service delivery, while at the same time focusing on providing excellent customer service. The past year has again been challenging to balance and prioritize the needs our community with the amount of resources available. In developing the FY 2022 Budget, we have made every attempt to find savings while keeping our 2022-26 Five-Year Strategic Plan as our guide. As we enter the next fiscal year, we will again need to closely monitor revenues and expenditures to ensure that revenues are coming in as budgeted and make any necessary expenditure adjustments throughout the year. We are confident that GVR’s staff will continue to meet this challenge. The budget process is a team effort and reflects many hours of hard work on the part of staff, Fiscal Affairs Committee members, and the Board. We extend special thanks for the hard work of staff and the GVR management team, particularly David Webster, CFO, in developing the FY 2022 budget. In summary, this 2022 Budget accomplishes the Bylaws requirement that GVR “shall be guided by the actual expense of operating the recreational facilities of The Corporation, including a reasonable reserve for Capital Replacements with the objective of operating the facilities on a self-sustaining basis”. This budget is a solid foundation to keep GVR fiscally strong and responsive to its Members.

A number of GVR members were hit in their wallets as well, but luckily for them there is a lifeline within reach, and you can help us extend it. Through GVR’s Member Assistance Program (MAP), GVR members experiencing financial hardship stemming from illness, loss of a spouse, medical bills, or other issues impacting their income, can receive a helping hand to pay GVR annual dues. The GVR Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit and since its inception in 2015, has helped raise money to benefit GVR clubs and events, area non-profits, and most importantly, MAP. As of September 2021, GVRF has contributed approximately $89,950 to MAP. In order to assure future funding for the program, GVRF established a MAP Endowment enabling donors to contribute with tax benefits. Through the generosity of individual donors like you, grants, and non-profits such as the Country Fair White Elephant (which has donated money to GVRF specifically for MAP), 65 applicants had their dues fully covered and six other applicants had partial dues paid in 2021. Through the years, MAP funding has helped more than 820 GVR members who needed assistance paying dues. The GVR Foundation continues contributing funds to this important program benefitting GVR members. A parking lot adjacent to the former Canoa Hills Golf Course in Green Valley was recently donated to the foundation. The parking lot was sold to GVR for $110,000. The purchase agreement calls for GVR to pay $11,000 a year for ten years, interest free, to GVRF. All parking lot payments from GVR are going to the GVRF’s MAP Endowment to make sure assistance is available when members need it. Your generosity now will help your neighbors in need this winter. Please find the enclosed donation envelope and contribute to the MAP grants or MAP endowment, today.
For more information about MAP, visit: GVREC.org and search for MAP or call (520)625-3440 ext. 7213

dents as people continue to dig out of the pandemic. In 2020, Green Valley Recreation members felt the impact of Covid, too. Recreational activities and club gatherings were cancelled or postponed and many fundraising projects scheduled by the clubs were nixed, thus impacting club coffers.

Applications for MAP dues assistance are available under the membership tab at GVREC.org and at Customer Service Desks at Canoa Hills, Las Campanas, and the West Center Box Office. Members who received MAP assistance last year should have received an application in the mail or email. A new application is required each year and this year, completed applications are due November 30. Qualified members will own just the GVR home they live in year-round (no rental properties or residences in other states), have a household income no greater than 200% of the federal poverty guideline, and have been a member for at least one year with no delinquent dues at the time of application.
