Myakka Valley Ranches Improvement Association (for March 14, 2011 MVRIA Board Meeting)
Business Plan Objectives for 2011/12
Introduction
For the Annual Members' Meeting last year, the Board proposed a
Business Plan. Following discussion, this was approved by the Members.
The purpose of a business plan is to set out aims and objectives and
allocate resources accordingly. For the coming Annual Meeting, the Board
should set out its proposed aims and objectives for the next 12 months.
Among the reasons for so doing are:
* The Board is clear what Members expect
* Similarly, Committees know what they are expected to achieve.
* Members understand what we intend to do
* The budget can be set to enable sufficient resources to achieve the
objectives.
* The Board can more easily check on progress and expenditures.
Suggested Aims for 2011/12
The Board will aim to:
* Improve and properly maintain the roads, common areas, trails and
drainage in Myakka Valley for the benefit of residents
* Oppose any proposals to worsen Clark Road (SR 72) or any adjacent
area
* Support any proposal to enhance the environment around the Valley
* Manage the Association as efficiently and effectively as possible
* Communicate plans and actions with Members
* Improve security of the Valley and the properties within the Valley
* Maintain the security of the Park for the quiet enjoyment of Members
* Prepare for any natural disaster and ensure the most efficient
recovery systems are in place
* Ensure Members, other residents and visitors are aware of and
abide by the Bylaws and Deed Restrictions.
* Resolve any written complaints
* Respond to any construction applications within 21 days
* Finally conclude ongoing assessment litigation.
Suggested Objectives for 2011/12
The Board intends to:
1. Undertake any necessary maintenance of road surfaces and edges
2. Replace missing pavement markers and yield lines where necessary
3. Continue to improve the bend on Myakka Valley Trail at Vanderipe
Road and Howard's Creek Road where the easement edge is
regularly over-run
4. Undertake a further road condition survey and record findings on the
data base
5. Arrange occasional patrols of the Valley by an appropriate
enforcement agency.
6. Install modern CCTV equipment
7. Maintain the front entrance and guardhouse
8. Maintain existing saddle trails
9. Continue the process to open a short length of saddle trail at Lot 237
10. Obtain any necessary additional emergency response equipment
11. Organize two mock emergency training sessions
12. Maintain common area grass
13. Cut easement grass for absent Lot Owners on a re-chargeable basis
14. Continue to produce a monthly "Trails n Tales"
15. Maintain our web site and keep up to date
16. Regularly pick litter from the easement between SR 72 and the
gatehouse
17. Keep the fences to the 2 Parks in good repair
18. Review the Deed Restrictions and consult with members before
seeking their approval.
The proposed Budget sets out the allocation of resources to achieve these
objectives.
The Board confirms that additional road assessments will not be
necessary.
There are no proposals to expend any of the Future Road Reserve.
Subject to the satisfactory conclusion of the outstanding Road
Assessment litigation, the Board intends to close the Road assessment
Account and transfer any remaining surplus to the Road Reserve Account.
