To our January/February Camp Host Gert Watrous

She keeps things running smoothly. Thanks Gert!

Catch-Up with Kim: Well, its 2012 and I hope all is well in your New Year. All is well for us at home, and we’ve really been enjoying our stays at Pismo Creek R.V. If you haven’t been using the Park we hope to see you in 2012.

We had a GREAT time at the New Year’s Party with approximately 120 share holders and guests attending. I would like to thank Keith and Connie Stubbs for the music and entertainment they gave us until well after midnight. All had a great time. Thank you both again!

Also at this time I would like to thank Brian and Lois Lampshire, Jim and Barbara Grubbs, Pismo Creek R.V. who along with myself donated prizes for the Raffle, and of course all of you who attended and donated to the 50/50 drawing.

We had plenty of delicious food brought by all who attended and thanks so much to all of you that helped decorate prior to the function and to those who helped clean up after the party. THANKS SO MUCH!

A big thanks goes to Tom Anderson and his helpers, Della Wright, Bill & Sharon Schmall and Marilyn Ferdolage for their work on the balloon displays.

I had a great time and I hope you all did the same. Thank you again for your help, and I hope I didn’t leave anyone out.

Fellow Members:

Happy New Year to all Pismo Creek R.V. Resort, friends and family. 2012 came in quietly with beautiful weather and a very successful New Year’s Eve Party.

If you missed the New Year’s Eve Party this year, you missed a fun-filled evening. The clubhouse was full of revelers and the amount of food brought to the festivities was amazing. If you were there and went home hungry, I would have to say your focus was on something other than eating. Keith and Connie Stubbs provided the music for the evening and they were wonderful. If you haven’t heard one of their performances you have missed a great time. Their talent is well beyond just the singing and music. I am pretty sure there was an Elvis sighting and a Sonny and Cher sighting that night. Hats off to Keith and Connie. What great volunteers they are! Lots of dancers made the evening complete. Thanks so much to Tom Anderson for all the balloons. The balloons were festive and professionally done especially when the balloons rained down from the ceiling. It was a fun-filled night with many good friends and neighbors. Kim and Jim Moore certainly stepped up to the plate and did the work to get the party planned and in place. Due to some family issues, Cherri Armer was unable to participate in the party preparation and Kim and Jim came to the rescue and made it happen. Sincere thanks to all of you who had a part in preparing the Clubhouse for the festivities.

As for the State of the Park starting in January 2012, the corporation finds itself in much better shape this year. 2011 was a year of reorganization, restructuring, accompanied by many upgrades.

The park buildings are in good order after much construction and repair. The only buildings that are still in the “repair mode” are the cabins, now being called the cottages. Steve and his crew have been remodeling the interiors of each of the cottages. Thus far, new paint, window coverings, furniture, light fixtures and fans have been repaired or replaced. One cottage is completed with work beginning on each of the other four. All work has been paid for and the corporation has incurred no indebtedness as a result of the construction.

The park accounting has been reviewed, revised and brought up to the standards generally accepted by California corporations. Thanks to Bruce Barnett for his expertise and foreknowledge that helped us get the financials in order. We have hired a new accounting firm and are looking forward to a very successful year. The dues and fees have been raised in 2012, and the added income has helped to balance the budget and to insure that

all encumbrances are paid from revenue the corporation derives on an annual basis. As of this publication, about 60% of the dues for 2012 are in the bank and will be used to meet the needs of 2012 only. The corporation has $ 204,597.15 in reserves to be used on a “rainy day” need only.

The corporation has sold 23 memberships since August 2011. The funding from those sales offset the cost of completing fiscal year 2011 in the black. The balance of the funding has been rolled into the 2012 budget. 3% of the overage or $ 4,006.93 was deposited to the Reserve account. The balance of the funding thus far is $ 106,552.00 and has been set aside to fund the cost of the Roads Project. Thanks so much to Mark Bunch for his marketing skills in the selling of the memberships.

The Roads Project will begin in February 2012, with Phase I being the focus. Bids are in and the upgrades are ready to commence. Gary Dilley will oversee the project and has worked diligently to provide the best coverage, glean the best bids, and provide the best plan for coverage in the park during the construction. Members are advised to call the office to check on the progress of the Roads Project before coming to the park to ensure a safe entry through the gates. Thanks to Gary for his outstanding service to the corporation in this very large project.

The Articles of Incorporation and the By Laws will be completed before summer and the goal of the Board of Directors is to have them ratified and in the possession of all members as soon as possible. A rules committee is being established that will work on rule revision once per year and provide that information for inclusion in the Annual Meeting Agenda. Sue Hernandez will be the Chairman of the Rules Committee.

Additional workload in the office has forced the Board of Directors to provide more help to ensure the necessary resources are available to meet the requirements for the direction that the corporation is moving. The office staff has been given many new assignments in order for our corporation to comply with the requirements of sound business decisions and good business practices. Because of the work load increases, office staff is required to put in additional man hours to complete the tasks and extra help is being utilized. Increases in health care insurance costs, utilities cost increases, additional costs for legal counsel, and increases attributable to the economy, are affecting workload assignments in the office. The Board has planned and budgeted for these increases and included them in the 2012 budget forecast. Your cooperation with

the office staff is greatly appreciated as they try diligently to improve service and meet accountability standards for

the corporation. The Web Site and the Newsletter, the

Creekside Connection, have been overwhelming success

stories and continue to be updated and available to

members on a monthly basis. Thanks to Inger and her staff

for a job well done.

Park operations have been improving since the

Board of Director’s decision to review all the policies and

procedures previously being followed by the park staff.

A new purchase order project is being completed that will

provide proper accounting for funds spent in the park.

A review of the vendors who provide supplies to the park

has resulted in some costs being greatly decreased. The

Wi-Fi upgrade has been very successful with park

members raving about their ability to get on the internet

successfully and with ease. The landscaping is constantly

being upgraded and cared for by park staff. A schedule for

lawn mowing is in the planning stages and will be

implemented in the near future. Grounds staff is working

daily on the cottage repairs and the goal is to have all

cottages in beautiful condition and rentable with the least

amount of interruption for members.

The Emeritus Program has been approved and will

provide much needed resources for the decision making

process of the Board of Directors. Emeritus Volunteers are

individuals who have outstanding education, experience

and background in various areas of the business world.

They will be appointed by the Board of Directors and will

serve along side the Board. They will lend advise and

counsel about decisions facing the Board but will not be

able to vote on the issues. An Emeritus Volunteer can be

asked to serve in a vacant Board of Director’s seat, in the

event an elected member is unable to complete his elected

commitment.

Sadly, as in years past, our membership family

here at Pismo Creek has lost some loved ones throughout

2011. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you and

your loved ones. We have also had members who are

experiencing illness, accidents and extensive medical

treatment. It is the hope of the Board of Director’s that

Pismo Creek R.V. will be a place of peace and rest for each

of you in the coming months.

And finally, your Board of Directors are always

open to your comments and suggestions to improve park

policy, procedures, and appearance. Please feel free to

attend a meeting or send a letter or email to the office. All

your comments and suggestions are read and reviewed.

Wishing you all a wonderful and

successful 2012.

(Continued from Visits with Vicki page 4)

If you’ve wondered about the policy changes

regarding adult children using the park let me remind

you that one bad apple spoils the whole barrel.

Recently we have been notified by our legal counsel

that members have been allowing unauthorized users

to vacation here in our Park using their membership.

To alleviate that practice we have

implemented the procedure that each

membership authorizing their adult

children to use the park must provide proof

of relationship. Proof of relationship is not

limited to a birth certificate (which is a

public document with no security

information included). You can provide a

notarized statement that will prove the relationship.

However, time is of the essence. We have three

months to comply. We need this information

BEFORE May 1, 2012. Also remember, your adult

children need a copy of your membership card to

present when checking in.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Another question has been posed, “Are

grandchildren considered guests?” The

answer is yes. Grandchildren, even adult

grandchildren, can not use the member-

ship as though they were the member.

That privilege only applies to one

generation, a member’s adult children.

Have you ever wondered if you could

come into the park a day early? Or maybe a few hours

early? Only the office knows. Please contact the

office M-F 9am-5pm or on Sat from 10am–3pm.

In Case you were wondering:

EXECUTIVE SESSION

Meeting Location

Conference Room

Friday, January 6, 2012

Called to order: Executive session: 9:42 AM

Vice Chair, Larry Orth, called the meeting to order.

Directors Present:

Larry Orth, Vice Chair, Susan Hernandez, Secretary

Mark Bunch, Treasurer, Cherri Armer, Director

Howard Boos, Director, Kim Moore, Director

Director Not Present:

Vicki Ketchie, Chair

Gary Dilley, Emeritus, Steve Steinberger, Operations

Supervisor and Inger Hudson, Office Supervisor were also

present for part of the meeting.

Operations Supervisor Report:

Steve reported that PCRV received honorable mention in

the Pismo Beach Holiday Lighting Contest.

He also reported on projects that have been completed and

are in progress. The furnace in the office was in need of

replacement due to age and safety concerns. A new

furnace has been installed in the office. The work on cabin

51 is finished. The total cost was $1,050.00. Work on

cabin 50 is in process at this time. A new water heater had

to be installed in cabin 48 and water damage repaired.

Wi-Fi has been changed to Charter Cable.

Steve asked that all members with animals please use the

dog runs. It is against the rules to let pets defecate on the

lawns and planter beds and it is happening much too often.

Approval of Minutes:

Howard made a motion that the minutes for the Board

meetings of November 18, 2011 and November 19, 2011

be approved; motion seconded by Kim. Approved.

Critique of New Year’s Eve Party:

Kim announced that everyone had a good time. She has

prepared a manual with instructions of what was done

which will be of help in planning special events in the fu-

ture.

Treasurer Review:

Mark reported that we are on track with collecting dues.

Mark said we are reaching the $250,000.00 insurable

amount in each bank account and we should keep accounts

in the $200,000.00 range.

There was a question and discussion whether the $150.00

transfer fee should be reported as income or as an offset for

salaries regarding memberships. It was decided that it

should be income but can be charged to salaries.

It was reported that proposals to change CPA firms had

been received from Schimandle & Associates and Tom

Cook at Five Cities CPA. Tom is familiar with Quick

Books Pro which is the program used at the park.

Following discussion Cherri made a motion that we change

CPA’s to Tom Cook with Five Cities CPA. Mark seconded

the motion. Passed. Inger will send a letter to the current

CPA.

Roads:

Gary reported that he received the following bids:

Advanced Pools - $60,000.00. This does not include base.

FABCO - $91,000.00. This bid includes demolition and

base. He will contact Ormande for a bid for demolition and

base. Gary will also contact other companies to get bids

both ways.

There was also discussion regarding moving the entrance to

the park. It was decided it would be best to leave the

entrance as is at this time and proceed with the roads.

Office Supervisors Report:

Inger reported that there are currently 832 corporate

members and 19 Non-Corp members. There are 2

memberships that people want to purchase.

There was discussion regarding the price of memberships

being sold by the park. Susan made a motion that effective

January 9, 2012 the price of Pismo Creek memberships be

increased to $8,000.00. The motion was seconded by

Mark. Passed.

The subject of advertising and letting new R V owners

come into the park to visit for two (2) days was discussed.

After discussion Mark made a motion that we advertise

with cards for prospective PCRV buyers to be distributed at

R V dealers and repair locations for a two (2) night free

stay. Inger will print the cards. Howard seconded the

motion. Passed.

Inger reported that the DigitalRez program is working

much better and she plans to use it for more tasks as they

continue to learn the program.

She learned a lot at the human resource class she attended

in Bakersfield.

Inger said we are approaching the maximum insurable

amount in our bank accounts. They have checked into

Coast Hills Federal Credit Union. They also carry private

insurance so their maximum insurable amount is

$500,000.00.

She advised the Board that we need to transfer 3% of the

net income to reserves.

Cherri made a motion that 3% of the net income be

deposited to the Bank of America reserve account; Kim

seconded the motion. Passed.

Cherri made a motion that all dues be put in an account at

Coast Hills Federal Credit Union; seconded by Susan.

Passed.

Property Tax Appeal:

Larry reported that the property tax appeal has been

dropped.

Valentine’s Day Party:

Cherri reported that Randy Anderson will be providing

the music for the Valentine’s Day dance on February 13th

from 7:00 – 10:00 pm. His fee is $225.00 and a $50.00

deposit has been sent to him but will not be cashed until

the event.

Adjourned for lunch: 12:10 PM

Reconvened: 1:50 PM

Groups Discussion:

There still seemed to be some confusion on what

constitutes a group – five (5) camp sites versus group of

three (3) renting cabins and/or loft.

a. Definition of group: After discussion Cherri made a

motion that we redefine groups as five (5) or more; sites,

cottages or loft with one (1) cottage always available for

members. Susan seconded the motion. Passed.

b. If a group already has a reservation and has reserved

all 5 cottages do they get to keep their reservation as origi-

nally reserved? The answer to this is YES.

c. Does the $32.00 per night per guest apply to groups

who already had reservations on the books? The answer to

this is NO.

d. The $50.00 per day charge for use of the clubhouse.

Susan made a motion to rescind the $50.00 per day charge;

seconded by Larry. Passed.

Review of the Rules:

After discussion Mark made a motion that a rules

committee be appointed to consist of one (1) Board

member who will chair the committee and six (6) members

at large to review all the rules. If a corporate member

wants to be on the rules committee they must be in good

standing and have access to e-mail; they must be available

during the three (3) month period of March 1st through May

31st. The final report must be done and presented to the

Board at the June meeting. If more than six (6) members

volunteer the six (6) committee members will be chosen by

lottery by the office staff. Kim seconded the motion.

Passed.

An article will be put in the newsletter that volunteers for

the rules committee need to call Inger with their name,

address, telephone no. and e-mail address by February 15th.

Emeritus Program:

After an explanation from Larry, Mark made a motion that

we develop an Emeritus Program; seconded by Howard.

Passed.

The policy for this program will follow.

Park Radios vs. Cell Phones:

Mark reported that several brands are going to be tried out

by the staff and then it will be decided which ones to order.

Worker’s Comp Policy:

It was reported that we need to have a camera.

Howard made a motion to accept as presented, the policy

and procedure for Worker’s Comp accidents and the policy

and procedure for all other accidents that occur on PCRV

property. Cherri seconded the motion. Passed.

Cherri made a motion that we implement the Incident/

Accident Report as presented; seconded by Howard.

Passed.

Goals:

a. Mark went over his list of goals, some of which are:

(Executive Session continued from page 9)


Volume 3 Issue 1

Develop a funded replacement schedule for assets

Increase park occupancy during off peak periods

Increase use of park to greater than 60%

Develop a maintenance schedule for equipment

Develop a purchase order system that fits with our existing

financial program

b. Larry’s goals include reviewing the insurance coverage

on the buildings and equipment. He asked for and received

a quote to increase coverage on the cottages to $50,000.00

each. The additional premium would be $6,733.00. After

discussion regarding the cost of new park models it was

decided to leave coverage on the cottages as is.

His goals also include establishing policies and procedures

for accidents in the park and establishing an accident re-

port. Both of these were addressed earlier in the meeting.

Parking for Female Staff Members::

Update on

Relay for Life

at Pismo Creek RV

This month I would like to give you a little history of the signature

fundraising event for the American Cancer Society know as Relay for Life

It all began in Tacoma, Washington...

In the mid-1980s, Dr. Gordy Klatt, a

Tacoma colorectal surgeon, wanted to enhance the income of his local

American Cancer Society office and to show support for all of his patients

who had battled cancer. He decided to

personally raise money for the fight by doing something he enjoyed – running

marathons.

In May 1985, Dr. Klatt spent a

grueling 24 hours circling the track at Baker Stadium at the University of

Puget Sound in Tacoma. He ran for more than 83 miles.

That first year, nearly 300 of Dr. Klatt's friends, family, and patients

watched as he ran and walked the course. Throughout the night, friends

donated $25 to run or walk with Dr.

Klatt for 30 minutes. His efforts raised $27,000 to fight cancer.

While circling the track those 24

hours, Dr. Klatt thought about how others could take part in his mission to

fight cancer. He envisioned a 24-hour

team relay event that could raise more money to fight cancer. Over the next

few months, he pulled together a small committee to plan the first team

relay event, known as the City of

Destiny Classic 24-Hour Run Against Cancer.

In 1986, with the help of Pat Flynn –

now known as the “Mother of Relay” – 19 teams took part in the first team

Relay event on the track at the historic

Stadium Bowl and raised $33,000. An indescribable spirit prevailed at the

track and in the tents that dotted the

infield.

From there, Relay has grown (0861A)to be an international event. There’s

probably one in your home town.

PCRV would like to celebrate, honor

and remember our members battling cancer. Our own Relay event will only

be 12 hours, from 9am to 9pm on Tuesday, May 1, 2012. I hope you’ll

join our team. In fact, we need to pick

a team name so we can register with the Arroyo Grande Relay.

Please submit your suggestions to

Inger Hudson by email at:

[email protected] or by phone in the office at (805) 773-4434.

Look forward to hearing from you,

More next month...Inger
