Capital Project Survey Results Available

Many thanks to all members who participated in the Capital Projects survey last summer. The survey was open from July 16 through Aug 15. We had a total of 245 responses. Duplicates were provided from 32 members. The unique membership inputs were 213 or 40% of the membership. This is a fantastic response! We appreciate your feedback and will use the results to guide our investment decisions going forward. There are many large and small investment ideas. As the Board discusses these items and decides where to invest you will hear about what’s planned.

Bottom Line:
Highest priority is investing in the beach

  • Adding TRPA approved sand
  • Adding Kayak / Paddleboard space and/or optimizing location

Many other ideas and requests

  • Highest of these is more shade and better seating at beach and pool
  • Next highest is more buoys
  • Lots of interest in gym/clubhouse
  • Many smaller investment ideas for beach and pool
  • Some thoughts on additional services
  • Interest in more frequent communication and more surveys
  • Many comments that show appreciation and/or trust in the board
  • Ideas on how to manage the capital project selection process
