Fall 2017 | Wingfield Springs Community Association Newsletter
s summer 2017 nears the end, we hope that all of you have had a pleasant, safe, and fulfilling several months! This is a busy time for the Association and the Board. Board elections are coming up, and our two appointed officer positions held by Gary Hules and Sam Somerhalder are up for election this year, due to our two year term cycle schedule. Our last Hawk Talk provided applications for those who expressed interest. Election ballots will be included in the fall mailing. We welcome candidates who believe he/she has the time commitment necessary to fulfill the numerous demands of a nonprofit Board. Directors who are currently serving on the Board, will be on the ballot and possess the experience necessary for these positions and should be strongly considered as you complete your ballot. The current Board is facing numerous challenges since our association is still being “built out”. WSCA’s board was recognized by Community Associations Institute’s Nevada Chapter as the “Northern Nevada Association of the Year” in 2014. We say that with pride and strive to maintain that status in the years ahead. One of our most difficult tasks every year is the budget planning session. We continue to budget for our major projects consisting of water usage reduction, landscape improvement, as well as miscellaneous other projects dedicated to enhancing and protecting our community. However, please be aware that some parts of these projects may be affected depending on the outcome of our negotiations with the City of Sparks regarding sidewalk maintenance. We expect that we will be able to keep the expenses related to our three major contracts comparable to last year’s expenses. These three entities are our biggest contributors to ensuring the behind the scenes of our corporate structure are well managed. They are the community patrol, landscaping and management contracts. The 2018 balanced budget will mean no assessment increases are expected at this time for next year. The long-awaited neighborhood park in our Silverton Shores Village has recently been approved by the Sparks City Council. It is the final park included in our original founding development plans with the city. It will feature play equipment according to the announcement. Please plan to join us at our next HOA Meeting on Thursday, October 19, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. in the Private Lounge at Red Hawk.
“The 2018 balanced budget will mean no assessment increases are expected at this time for next year.”
