Question Tracker

A sample of how a public question list could work, using two meetings: the October 28 membership meeting and the November 11 board meeting. Topics from November 11 are marked (Nov 11). These are my own notes from the meetings and the October 28 public video, not an official CA record. Last checked November 11. If I've missed an answer, tell me and I'll fix it.

26 topics: 14 answered, 6 being worked on, 6 open with no date yet.

Answered (14)

• Is the restaurant public, and how is the pool protected? Open to the public. A fence separates the pool, which needs a badge or guest pass.

• Do members get preference? None planned. The board would revisit if it gets too busy.

• How does public access help members? More customers help the restaurant succeed, and its payments should help offset pool costs.

• How can members give input? Advisory committee and focus groups announced Nov 2. On Nov 11 the board created the Restaurant Advisory Committee; it first meets Dec 9. Apply by Nov 15, 2 p.m. Focus groups meet once in January. Sodexo also plans a survey.

• Can clubs keep their caterers? Yes.

• Can we bring our own bottle? Not to the restaurant.

• Who handles the liquor license and over-serving? Sodexo holds the license and trains staff.

• Scratch cooking and special diets? A mix of scratch and other preparation, with diet options marked on menus.

• Parking and golf carts after dark? No golf carts after dark. More parking is planned in stages.

• Will public use raise liability insurance? Not expected at first, because rates follow claims.

• Why are dues up about 5%? Mainly insurance and electricity. Members vote in December.

• (Nov 11) What happens if the budget fails? The CA goes back to the 2026 budget. Staff said hours, services and staffing could be cut.

• (Nov 11) Why did the Zoom feed stop before the annual meeting ended? The camera failed. The full meeting was recorded and is on the residents page; recordings usually go up the next day.

• (Nov 11) The drop where you turn off Cherry Hills into the CA office? The county built it for drainage, and a director said it also slows carts down. No change planned.

• Restaurant hours, including late evenings? To be set with member feedback and adjusted after about 90 days.

• Menu prices, including breakfast under $10? Menu in development. Sodexo agreed to share menus and pricing guidance.

• Credit card fee? Not decided.

• TVs and live music? TVs planned. Live music being explored.

• Delivery? Third-party service first. In-house delivery still being considered.

Open, no date yet (6)

• New furniture at the existing pool? "They'll look into it."

• Bump on Cherry Hills near Pebble Beach (a member reported being hurt)? "We'll look into that."

• (Nov 11) Zoom audio and video at big meetings? A member said the audio was almost impossible to hear. The recording is the backup. No fix announced.

• (Nov 11) Zoom security, such as screening attendees and muting microphones? Raised by a member. No change was decided.

• (Nov 11) A committee of residents with disabilities, to advise on our facilities? Proposed by a member. No response yet.

• (Nov 11) Lighting at the North Course entrance off Cherry Hills? "We'll take that under advisement."

Most questions got an answer on the spot, which is to the board's credit. The open ones are why a list matters: without one, nobody can check where they stand.
