PLANNING COMMITTEE In February we welcomed new Committee members Brenda King and Bob Livingston. They have been great additions to the Committee. We are currently working diligently on projects the Board requested at its January meeting: 1. Provide information to the General Manager for the development of an RFP to remove the existing grass around the west, south and east sides of the Pickleball and Tennis Courts and replace with decomposed granite (DG). And replace the grass in the dog area near the Security shack with DG. 2. Develop a budget and plan to create a Tennis Center Meeting Area at the La Palma Tennis Courts. All information is to be provided to the Board by March 1 for consideration at its March 9 meeting. Finally, we are anticipating the distribution of the survey to the owners at the end of February or early March, the results of which will ultimately determine the Strategic Plan and the future direction of the resort.

I was invited by the Board to take on the Interim General Manager role at ORPS. I have been here for only 13 days as I write this article for Oracle Magazine. I come to ORPS with over 30 years of experience in Large-scale Community Associations and am pleased to have been asked
FINANCE COMMITTEE
The Finance Committee had several opportunities to review and discuss the proposed budget by the end of February. Preliminary questions about the content of the budget remain to be answered and then reflected on before the final proposal is
to assist for as long as I am needed. As I drove into ORPS, after arriving in the valley from my home in Northern California, I was struck by the beauty and serenity of the resort. I look forward to fulfilling your expectations regarding the quality of time you spend here. I have had very little time to prepare an article so I will keep it short for now. As I told the employees in my first staff meeting, and quoting from Ritz Carlton Hotel’s Motto, my expectation is that “We are Ladies and Gentlemen serving Ladies and Gentlemen." I hope to meet you all in the not to distant future. Thanks for such a warm welcome and wave as I’ve traversed around the community.
ready for recommendation to the Board of Directors by the committee. The budget is scheduled to be approved after the election of the directors in March. Finance Committee is looking for new recruits to come forward and participate on the committee. Further retirements from the committee are anticipated and accumulated knowledge of the current members will be fully shared to get new members up to speed and "into the gang".
