Ms. Dickson and Mr. Fetsick provided an overview of the presentation of the Capital Improvement Plan.

Ms. Dickson went over the history of the forming of UPRD, the timeline of how the master plan was created, and where the district is heading in the future. She presented a graph of the levels of satisfaction of each of the amenities available in UPRD; the fitness center and activity space being the lowest in satisfaction amongst members. She also showed photos of the club kitchen area and admin workspace, showing the improvements that need to be made in these areas. She also presented detailed maps and a video showing the proposed improvements that are planned to be made to UPRD.

Mr. Fetsick reviewed the financial plans for the proposed improvements; the capital projects totaling $18,500,000.00. He recommended funding the project plan with a 30-year bond referendum. He mentioned that everyone will receive a mailed notice that details the referendum, bond, plan, project, and financial details. He encouraged active resident & member participation within the discussions of the capital plan. There will be a referendum vote on January 16, 2024, and there will be one vote per household.

A homeowner asked if anything will be happening to the existing pro shop, varsity club and employee offices in the proposed plan; there will be no changes to these locations at this time and will hold off until the season is over before making any changes, the funds would come from operations to address those areas.

Mr. Ludmerer stated that these locations will remain operational during the updates and would provide insight into how to utilize the space most efficiently.
