I hope this message finds you well and enjoying the transition into the new season at ORPS. With the new Board officially taking office on March 18, we've hit the ground running, addressing various issues. Please join me in extending a warm welcome to our new board members, Sue Olsen and Gary Oedekerk. We are grateful for their willingness to take on leadership roles within our community. Before we delve into current matters, I'd like to take a moment to express our sincere appreciation to John Boudin for his dedicated six years of service to our community, with a special mention of his leadership as president in recent years. John's contributions have enriched our lives at ORPS, enhancing our enjoyment of the diverse entertainment and events hosted at our Resort. Reflecting on the 2023 - 24 season, I'm delighted to report that it has been a resounding success. Our Lifestyle team has kept us engaged and entertained throughout, while our maintenance and landscaping teams have once again transformed ORPS into a vibrant oasis amidst the desert landscape. We are immensely grateful for their hard work and dedication. As we transition into the new season, we have encountered a concerning issue regarding an unusual odor in the air. Many of you have reached out to both the City and David Bernard, COO of CC Industry, regarding this matter, and we've received assurances that steps are being taken to address it promptly. Rest assured, we are actively monitoring the situation and will keep you updated on any developments. On the financial front, I'm pleased to report that our revenue continues to exceed expenses, keeping us on budget for the year. The finance committee will be collaborating with management in the coming weeks to formulate recommendations for the 2024 - 25 budget, ensuring our fiscal responsibility moving forward. In terms of infrastructure changes, Spectrum has informed us of their decision to discontinue the old - style cable TV service, necessitating a transition to internet based alternatives. The Cost Savings Ad Hoc Committee has evaluated various options, and owners have provided valuable feedback through a recent survey. The Board will carefully review this feedback alongside any updates from Spectrum before reaching a decision. Looking ahead, our monthly board meetings will continue via Zoom from April to October. I encourage all members to participate and utilize the open forum section to raise any concerns or issues. Additionally, our management team is finalizing a list of summer projects, which will be presented for board review at our April meeting. Should you need to contact the Board of Directors during the summer months, please reach out via email at boardofdirectors@orps.com. Thank you for your ongoing support and involvement in making ORPS the vibrant community it is. David Quick Board President
