[2:37] advisory committee reports. >> You have

[2:40] » I have wreck and lakes >> and lakes. Okay.

[2:42] » Um, we had two members attend two members speak on behalf of multiple uh

[2:48] members uh that are active in the tennis community. They were concerned about uh

[2:53] rumors that uh pickle ball lines would be painted on the tennis courts at

[2:58] Kingsdale. Uh we dispelled that rumor. Um and I had a pleasant conversation

[3:04] with Mr. Sullivan afterwards and uh reiterated once more that uh that rumor

[3:10] was false. Um current business uh the 2026 non-member events were approved

[3:18] well most of them uh there's uh they're going to consider another set of events

[3:23] at their March meeting and these are all um uh for variety of locations um in the

[3:31] POA and then the ones they're going to consider in March are solely for

[3:35] Burksdale South staff report uh Rick stated that refilling of Loman will

[3:42] begin the 1st of March uh and will be contingent upon uh the water level will

[3:48] be contingent upon uh rainfall. Uh John Irwit mentioned that the shooting range

[3:55] has had lower uh than expected attendance uh primarily due to the

[4:00] weather. Uh Trey reported a 39% increase in trail usage and Huntley will have a

[4:06] facelift on the downhill section. Roland mentioned that uh a pipe burst between

[4:13] the Kingsdale pool and Tescort and is currently under repair. Uh couple items

[4:18] that need to be uh uh some attention was the basketball net uh at Branchwood. One

[4:24] of them needs to be fixed. Uh the water spet at Blowing Springs at Space 56 is

[4:31] leaning to one side and probably needs to be repaired at Lake Avalon. Uh the

[4:35] picnic area mulch under the big tree was being worked on and should look great

[4:40] when complete. And the Metville fitness center, the

[4:45] Octane machines mentioned last month have been repaired and they look great.

[4:51] So those are all the comments for the rec committee and the minutes will be

[4:55] available on our website for the lakes committee. Uh the kids fishing derby

[5:01] will take place on May 9th. Um, and the kayak demo day will take place the first

[5:07] Saturday in June. Uh, both of these were voted upon by the committee. Uh, a 6

[5:12] vote. Uh, Trey mentioned that the marina will open April 1st. Um,

[5:20] uh, grass carp a grass carp trap trout trap, sorry, a grass carp trap in Tyrie

[5:28] Cove has been completed. Uh, and this will help eliminate uh the grass carp.

[5:34] Um, Rick will be picking up the remodeled

[5:38] electro fishing boat, which has actually already taken place. Uh, the grass carp

[5:44] raffle will continue in 2026. And that would be it for the minutes.

[5:51] Thank you, Miss Ruth. Golf. >> Okay. Even though the committee took the

[5:56] two months, the golf department did not. you will see they've been very busy.

[6:00] We'll start with Graham Cornme uh golf maintenance report. The frost line is

[6:04] now discontinued and message forward people to the POA website. The

[6:08] superintendents are making a decision when to open following frost with their

[6:11] local conditions and temperatures in mind and updating today's play each

[6:15] morning by 7:00. The reason for that is not every place in the village has frost

[6:20] at the same level. So sometimes one course can open earlier than another

[6:24] course and so it allows the individual superintendent to make the decision and

[6:28] it seemed to be working better. They get more tea times that way. 8 ines of snow

[6:32] in January hopefully insulate our trees, fairways and roofs against the very cold

[6:35] temperatures with experience during the with experience during that time period.

[6:39] Additionally, Greg made an effort to cover Bermuda uh grass tees that have

[6:43] been previously winterkill and tarp prior to snowfall. All Bermuda grass

[6:48] greens were covered as well and we will wait to see it approach when the

[6:51] potential winter kill when we get to see the spring green up. Bermuda fairways

[6:55] have been colored with turf paint and all of them have been done at this time.

[7:00] We will begin spring pre-emergence herbicide application for spring and

[7:03] summer weeds this month in all golf courses. We are in the process of a

[7:07] limming trees and removing dead trees from the properties and grinding stumps.

[7:12] Took me a while to figure out what limming trees like. Just take the limbs

[7:16] off. We are in the process. Uh we are spreading mulch in areas that are

[7:21] traditionally mulched and mulching new areas of landscape around the golf

[7:25] course that have not had long st had large stock piles of mulch from the

[7:30] summer of 2024 storm that left many trees down. We continue to clean and

[7:36] repaint course accessories across the golf course to get them ready for the

[7:39] golf season. the capital project up uh update number 13, the country club where

[7:45] we had the problem with the water uh is done. They're simply waiting for now to

[7:51] get ready for to put the grass on ry grass on King's Woods uh failing

[7:56] drainage cover replacement chain is installed a new cover pipe on number 11

[8:00] and 10 covers on eight and nine remain to be replaced. Kingswood green fans of

[8:06] five greens. He's ordering the pars and hopefully they'll be done by March.

[8:10] Nursery green and highlights. Greg just finished installing new greens to mix

[8:13] the nursery greens in hopes of plants and bed grass in late February and early

[8:18] March. And the driving range at uh Scottdale,

[8:23] they have been removing all liming up the trees and left uh left hand side of

[8:28] the teeth to provide the sunlight to the area. and Mac Division is beginning

[8:33] reshaping the driving and uh they hope to have the project done real soon.

[8:38] Daryl has been busy as well. January was a strong month for golf rounds when

[8:43] courses were open largely driven by unceasably warm temperatures early in

[8:47] the month. Later in the month, however, we had an impact of extremely cold and

[8:50] snowfall resulting in 13 days of course closure. The cave book book numbers

[8:56] booking numbers will be tracked on this report. It should be noted that each

[9:00] booking represents four players at average.

[9:04] The golf rounds were up, they ended at 5,565,

[9:09] up more than 3,5 over last January and uh up 2,400 over last. Yeah, up 2,400

[9:18] over last January. The members, the guest rounds ended at 1,19,

[9:23] up over 600 from last January. The cave bookings were 114 bookings times 4 or

[9:29] more. Range buckets ended the month at 3,123

[9:35] up from 20 thou up by 2378 over the past year. Okay, down to the

[9:41] nitty-gritty. We have some exciting news. Dave Armstrong presented a check

[9:46] of $10,000 to the Hannah Hillier for for the

[9:50] futures cup event that was held in October. Dave expressed the gratitude to

[9:54] Charlie Powell and Bob Ward and the futures cup team captains and also

[9:58] acknowledged the contributions of the golf operation staff Megan von uh Hannah

[10:03] and Daryl Maldun their and their efforts and support this event. The Future Cup

[10:08] Academy will allocate the donations toward the golf program high school and

[10:12] scholarships, academic ambassadors and golf equipment for academic for academy

[10:16] students. Uh, I express appreciation for Hannah for her outgoing and ongoing

[10:22] dedication for advancing junior golf in Northwest Arkansas. It's a a good place

[10:26] to start. Next up, uh, the maintenance we have online

[10:32] and committee asked about removing trees around the golf course, potential impact

[10:38] on future play, and that's going to be discussed further as we go along the

[10:41] year because some trees makes a big difference on how the hole plays, some

[10:46] it doesn't. So they'll take a look at that. Daryl Maldun announced that the

[10:50] golf expo will not be held this year due to sub sustained decline in

[10:54] participation. Golf organizations are encouraged to register for inclusion in

[10:59] the digital golf directory which will also be online.

[11:05] After completing a comprehensious list of activities for the 2012 uh events for

[11:10] 2026, Alex announced that they will have reduce some of the high school golf

[11:15] events to allow for uh more play for individuals.

[11:19] Guidelines regarding golf cart usage on par three holes. It was brought to our

[11:24] attention we need to look at that. We did Maldun know that half of the par 3es

[11:28] are too steep for safeguards off the path cutting safety concern or sighting

[11:33] safety concerns. His research indicated 92% of golf courses require golf course

[11:37] to remain on car paths for all par 3s. Ruth Hatcher comment that several length

[11:42] uh less steep par 3es currently permit players with blue flags, handicap flags

[11:47] to be driven on. Graham comment that excessive golf cart traffic

[11:52] negative impact the turf health. Several committee members expressed concern of

[11:56] allowing golf carts on par three holes for safety and liability issues. We

[12:00] called for a vote and it was unanimous not to allow golf carts off the path on

[12:05] par 3es except for those with blue flags as designated on par 3es. Um meeting was

[12:12] adjourned and we will come back in March.

[12:16] » Questions comments

[12:21] financial

[12:34] wasn't going to come out.

[12:41] » Come on. Did you offer that up?

[12:58] supposed to have filler.

[13:03] » Start.

[13:06] » There we go. >> All right. Um we are here to talk about

[13:11] January uh the 20 the financial overview for January and we're going to start

[13:17] with looking at overall which is consolidated both POA and water uh

[13:24] overall January January's EBIDA was 30,000 and that ex was better than

[13:30] budget by 105,000 uh 27,000 lower compared to last year.

[13:36] You're going to see a theme throughout this presentation of uh timing

[13:41] differences. It's the first month of a new budget year, so it's really hard to

[13:46] predict when a lot of revenue or expenses, a lot of different types will

[13:53] exactly hit during the year. Um so there's just inherently some timing

[14:00] differences um that's associated with that. We're

[14:04] looking at operating expenses. You'll notice they were 168,000 better than

[14:10] budget. So 105,000 IBIDA better than budget. 168,000 of

[14:17] that is in operating expenses and that's largely due to those timing differences

[14:22] which we'll we'll talk about as we go forward. It was also 222,000

[14:28] worse more than uh operating expenses in the prior year. Um a good share of that

[14:34] was uh was can be related to labor cost. Uh we started in 2026

[14:42] acrewing labor monthly according to how many work days there are in the month

[14:47] versus uh how many pay periods when the pay periods hit. We've previously done

[14:52] that only annually. Um, now we're going to do it monthly to better uh match

[14:58] revenue and expenses as each month goes. Uh, but that will cause some periodic

[15:04] variances versus 2025 throughout the year as we're comparing 26 to 25 on on

[15:11] labor.

[15:15] And looking at revenue overall consolidated, it reached uh 3.08

[15:21] million. that was uh below budget by just 47,000

[15:26] uh but better than last year by 203,000. Um

[15:32] revenue for the water utility uh typically um this time of year

[15:36] especially comes from an increase um in new uh water taps which affects water

[15:43] service um connection fees and capital buyin fees. uh that is one of those

[15:49] items that's hard to predict when that's going to happen and also weather um

[15:54] really uh affects that as well and we did have some uh poor weather conditions

[16:00] uh during January. So um between that and the unpredictable timing nature um

[16:07] it led to those key revenue drivers falling short of budget in January.

[16:13] So wrapping it all up, home consolidated revenue again was 3.08

[16:18] million uh which was uh worse than budget, better than prior year. Expenses

[16:25] was 2,651,000 which was better than budget um worse

[16:30] than prior year and IBIDA coming in at 30,000 which was 105,000 better than

[16:36] budget and just below prior year.

[16:42] Looking at POA only without water, um it came in at Ebid of a negative 177,000.

[16:49] That was better than budget by 225,000. Um and 20,000 better than prior year. Uh

[16:57] total revenue reached 2.1 million which was better than budget by 9,000 and

[17:03] prior year by 146,000. Uh cost of goods sold was 12,000 worse

[17:09] than budget. So between the revenue variance and the cost of goods sold

[17:14] variance, gross margin was just 3,000 uh difference to budget. So you'll see the

[17:21] IBIDA was 225,000 better than budget. That was all pretty much almost all

[17:26] related to operating expenses for the POA and that timing issue that we're

[17:31] talking about. And a lot of that is in um repairs and maintenance, uh delivery

[17:38] of supplies that arrived earlier than expected.

[17:42] Um health insurance, it's hard to predict when claims are going to come

[17:46] in. Uh unused vacation acral when people are going to take vacations. Those were

[17:52] a lot of the big bucket items of those uh operating expense timings.

[17:57] Looking at POA uh revenue was 2,61,000 9,000 better than budget 146,000 better

[18:05] than prior year. Uh COGS as mentioned 122,000 12,000 worse of budget 3,000

[18:12] more than prior year. expenses were 2,116,000

[18:18] which was 228,000 better than budget 123 uh worse than prior year with Ibid

[18:25] coming in at negative 177,000 again 225,000 better than budget and

[18:31] 20,000 more than prior year.

[18:36] Diving into some of POA's divisions, golf operations, um achieved 192,000

[18:43] positive IBIDA in January, which was better than budget by 54,000. They just

[18:49] did that despite being closed 13 days for weather. Um higher than expected uh

[18:56] in January was greens fees, cart fees, and pro shop sales, which was 49,000 of

[19:02] that revenue above budget. Um and they had a good warm temperatures earlier in

[19:09] the month before the the severe cold and snow hit. So um they were they were able

[19:15] to still close the month um up from budget. Uh in the pro shop it was

[19:20] equipment, golf balls, and club repair that was the key contributor to pro shop

[19:25] sales in January and cost of goods sold on the pro shop was 68%.

[19:30] Um operating expenses were just 9,000 better than budget and that was mainly

[19:35] from um hourly wages saved uh due to the weather closures.

[19:41] Looking at the golf locations, uh the the top performers were Kingsdale, which

[19:47] was 20,000 better than budget on Ibida. Highlands was 16,000 better than budget.

[19:55] Metfield uh came in at 13,000 better than budget and country club 12,000

[20:02] better than budget. And last, but still great, uh, Tanner Creek came in at

[20:08] 10,000 better than budget and Scottsdale 4,000 better than budget.

[20:15] Turning to food and beverage, uh, food and beverage exceeded their budgeted

[20:19] IBIDA by 16,000. Um again uh despite uh revenue softness due to weather, the

[20:27] extreme cold and snow um affected them as well on revenue.

[20:32] And but they did have labor savings and operating expenses uh that were due to

[20:39] reduced hourly and part-time labor from from closings and also um a couple

[20:45] vacancies. and their gross margin was 23,000 worse

[20:50] than budget, but it was 9,000 better than prior year.

[20:56] Looking at locations, uh BV Bar and Grill uh beat their IBIDA

[21:01] budget by 10,000, Lake 6,000. Um the total golf uh locations, Food and

[21:07] Beverage was 2,000 better than budget. Uh, Little Sugar Beastro uh came in

[21:13] 7,000 worse than budget on their IBIDA and Highlands Pub a thousand worse than

[21:18] budget. Some other POA highlights uh the RV

[21:24] storage fees exceeded budget in January by 18,000 due to member resources did a

[21:30] good push of contacting uh members early and and followup air follow up efforts

[21:37] to bring that in. um recreation division surpassed IBIDA by 36,000.

[21:43] Um but that was driven by expense timing and and also labor savings. Um as I

[21:50] talked about earlier, health, dental, and life life insurance costs were

[21:54] 25,000 uh better than budget in January. We

[21:58] expect that to potentially balance out during the year. um one a notable

[22:03] one-time cost, street signs um were repaired um and that was a project that

[22:09] was completed in January um with a cost of 42,000.

[22:17] Now turning to water, uh water's ebida was 28,000 in January. That did fall

[22:23] 120,000 short of budget. Um the IBIDA shortfall stems from um some delayed

[22:31] water taps that impact revenue um and also um early supply deliveries that

[22:37] impacted expenses. Uh that budget variance was evenly split

[22:43] pretty much between the gross margin reduction and the operating expenses.

[22:49] Um looking at the revenue variance specifically

[22:53] new water service connections, capital buyin fees, they fell short of budget um

[22:58] due to the unpredictable timing nature of those and weather. Uh water sales

[23:04] were slightly below budget but they were significantly higher than previous

[23:09] years. showing growth despite challenges. And operating expenses were

[23:14] above budget uh due to timing differences primarily in meter

[23:19] installation materials and equipment delivery that came in earlier than

[23:23] expected.

[23:27] And looking at Wat's uh results for January, uh revenue was 1,17,000

[23:33] which was 55,000 worse than budget, 57,000 better than the prior year. Cost

[23:39] of goods sold was 275,000 5,000 worse than budget and 6,000 worse

[23:44] than prior year. Expenses were 535,000 which was 60,000 worse than budget and

[23:51] 99,000 worse than prior year. and IBIDA coming in at 28,000 which was 119,000

[23:58] worse in budget and 46,000 better than prior year. Uh turning to cash and debt,

[24:04] the POA had 1.8 million in operating funds and 868,000 in reserves at the end

[24:10] of the month. The water utility had 3.1 million in operating funds and 3.6

[24:16] million in reserves at the end of the month. Um the POA H maintains a debt of

[24:22] 3.1 million to the water utility and uh 5.7 million in outstanding bank loans.

[24:31] Uh looking for expectations for the first quarter. Um we we expect that

[24:37] volatility in in operating expenses due to timing um and

[24:43] also revenue and and related to water taps to continue uh in Q1. Um water taps

[24:51] also um you know recreation amenity fees goes along with that on the POA side as

[24:56] well. Uh there was also I didn't mention earlier um some volat some timing

[25:01] differences in membership transfer fees that were down a little bit on the POA

[25:05] side. Uh golf and recreation activities remain sensitive to the weather, but

[25:11] they're currently showing positive trends. Um and management were remaining

[25:15] very focused on expense control and responsible cash stewardship.

[25:22] Looking at the one pager uh on the left side is the by department IBIDA

[25:27] variances to budget for the month. You'll see that golf operations, golf

[25:32] maintenance, recreation, lakes and parks were all the best uh big winners for the

[25:37] month. Uh going down to worse than budget, water was uh the the one that

[25:42] was uh worse than budget by the most in January. Um we've talked about

[25:48] everything on the right side. As always, uh there's more detailed financial

[25:53] information that can be found at our website at that at that address. You

[25:59] have any questions.

[26:02] » Thank you, Beth.

[26:06] » Open forum. Nobody has signed up. I got it.

[26:09] » Thank you. >> And no emails, correct? Okay.

[26:14] » Um next on the agenda is on February 12th GM meeting. We went into an

[26:20] executive summary uh sorry executive session. Summary of that uh session was

[26:24] an emergency capital request country club roof repair. In the interest of the

[26:28] quick quickening of the process for the repair, the board of directors

[26:32] unanimously voted to approve the emergency capital request for the

[26:35] country club roof repair and uh we're working on scheduling that roof repair

[26:41] um which will probably require some closure of at least portion of the

[26:46] restaurant uh and clubhouse. um maybe all or portion and we're going to try

[26:51] and combine that with some uh window work that we need to get done uh in the

[26:57] one dining area where the window is loose. So, we're going to since that's

[27:01] probably going to be a an eyesore an issue. So, we're going to try and

[27:06] combine if everything works great, we're going to try and do both at the exact

[27:10] same time. So, thank you. Um Tom capital project for tennis.

[27:18] » So for tennis um we included in the budget um first of all uh the tennis um

[27:26] uh our tennis pro Kelly was successful in uh securing three uh grants

[27:33] and uh a national grant for 20,900 a southern grant for 8,470

[27:39] and a Arkansas grant for 500. Um we assume that uh and this work is going to

[27:45] be uh the work we're going to do is to fill some of the cracks and uh we just

[27:52] uh didn't realize that accounting would have to code this as a capital project.

[27:57] So we had the grant money and then we also had $5,000 in the operating budget.

[28:02] Um so uh but we were informed by accounting that it would need to

[28:06] classify as a capital project. So, it's not going to change the net cash

[28:14] position of the budget. It's an accounting um requirement. Um should

[28:20] have caught it before, but we didn't unfortunately. Uh but we are correcting

[28:24] it to make sure that uh when our auditors look at it in 2027, they will

[28:30] be happy with uh that we made sure to do it the right way.

[28:35] » Thank you. Uh, we need a motion for this project.

[28:40] » I move that we authorize a capital project of $34,870

[28:45] for tennis court resurfacing with the understanding that 29,870

[28:50] will come from the grants and 5,000 from the recreation operating budget.

[28:54] » Thank you, Jeff. Second. >> Second,

[28:57] » Bob. Thank you. Any further conversation on this capital project? Go ahead, Bob.

[29:02] » One question. Do we have the current funds from the grants

[29:07] in our account or will they be coming? >> We do the work, we show them the bill,

[29:12] then they give us the money. >> Okay. Thank you.

[29:16] » Anything else? All right. All in favor?

[29:22] 90. >> Uh I want to back up real quick. um on

[29:25] the uh executive session uh the vote on the uh the roof. You can actually see we

[29:32] included in the board packet uh the suggested uh motion which actually

[29:37] turned out to be the actual motion that was passed. And so uh for those viewers

[29:41] at home they can actually get a little bit more information. We did discuss

[29:45] this at the work session uh but uh um for those at home you can actually get a

[29:50] little bit more information in the board packet which is available.

[29:53] » Thank y good clarification. Um uh next item is uh credit card sir charge. If

[29:59] you recall in the uh uh fee change uh that went through uh with the approval

[30:05] of the budget and the fee change for 2026

[30:09] uh we included some additional charges uh for uh credit card fees. And at that

[30:15] time we were told by our software provider TEI uh that they couldn't uh

[30:22] apply a percentagebased search charge for transactions paid by credit cards.

[30:27] We have now been informed that they can do this. And keep in mind that our

[30:31] credit card fees are between 800 and 900,000 a year. So it is a heavy hit to

[30:38] the POA. Um and so uh we are asking the board uh to approve uh a uh credit card

[30:47] fee sir charge not to exceed 3% uh that we would apply to retail transactions,

[30:55] FnB transactions, and we would spell these out on the receipts uh so our

[31:00] customers are fully informed of what they're paying for.

[31:05] » Thank you. Can we get a motion to authorize

[31:10] the search charge? >> Do you want that 3% stated in the

[31:14] motion?

[31:17] » That's probably >> make a motion authorizing the

[31:19] implementation of a credit card searchcharge to retail and food and

[31:23] beverage transactions not to exceed 3%. >> Thank you, David.

[31:29] Second, Kathleen. Thank you. >> Any more conversation, discussion on

[31:33] this one? And I was I was reading while Tom was talking, but I do want to make

[31:37] sure that it's clear that this won't it only is to credit card transactions, not

[31:41] debit cards or cash or anything like that.

[31:43] » That's that is correct, >> Deborah.

[31:47] » And we talked about this last week a little bit, but I just want to reiterate

[31:50] for our members that were not watching. Um, everyone is every establishment is

[31:56] hit with these charges. This is the cost of doing business.

[32:00] It's a pretty big expense to the business and they're not going to be

[32:03] able to absorb it. The majority of businesses are adding this to their cost

[32:08] of goods and their operations. And so the customer is paying this regardless.

[32:13] They're just not aware or it's not front of mind.

[32:16] » The way we are choosing to approach this gives our members and our guests the

[32:20] option of using their credit card or another means of payments and it is very

[32:25] transparent. >> Yeah, transparency. Good call out. at

[32:28] also another point in what was the number Beth last year 700,000

[32:34] roughly in >> closer to 800

[32:37] » closer to 800,000 that the POA paid out in credit card processing fees

[32:45] » anybody else >> guess there's no free

[32:49] miles >> yeah those miles car the money comes

[32:54] from somewhere you know everybody loves to use the mileage cards. Uh but the

[32:58] money comes from somewhere and uh the fees continue to go up and so

[33:06] anything else. All right. All in favor? 90. Thank you. Next item on the agenda

[33:13] is the second and final vote on the modifications to uh policy 5.05 boat

[33:19] registrations and mooring lease agreement. want to make it clear uh that

[33:23] these changes will actually kick in in 2027, but we're making the changes now.

[33:30] Our member resources is informing people uh of these changes. We're trying to

[33:34] give as much advanced notice as possible so that this is not these changes are

[33:41] not a surprise to our membership next year.

[33:46] Thank you. Can I get a motion on policy 5.05 05 change.

[33:51] » I make a motion to approve the suggested changes to policy 5.05

[33:56] boat registration and moing lease agreement. This is the second reading of

[34:01] two required readings. >> Thank you, Deborah. Second, Sandy. Thank

[34:05] you. Any further discussion? We've talked about this one quite a bit.

[34:10] » Yeah. All right. Go to vote. All in favor? 90. Thank you.

[34:17] That brings us to the end of the agenda other than announcements. Does anybody

[34:21] have anything else they want to discuss? Yeah, Bob.

[34:23] » Um, I just want to compliment uh Lake Point for their Valentine's Day uh

[34:28] dinner offering. Um, the plate of food that was put in front

[34:32] of me was like I was at a buffet. It was fabulously prepared. Uh, the service was

[34:38] great. The cost was reasonable. For those that didn't uh have the

[34:43] opportunity to go, I would strongly suggest next year you make reservations

[34:47] because it was fantastic. >> Good deal.

[34:51] » Yeah, we went to neon lights last the nights last night. It was it was kind of

[34:56] neat. >> So, doing a lot of cool stuff.
