Volume XXXVIII, Number 1

More than 65 million Americans live in community associations. That's 24 percent or almost 1 in every 4 homes.

Yet over the past five years, the pri-ority of living in a golf course com-munity association like Hot Springs Village has become lower according to research by Urban Land Institute, said David Twiggs, HSV Chief Op-erating Officer (COO). As a commu-nity development planner for the past 20 years, Twiggs has extensive knowl-edge of the evolution of the commu-nity association.

On staff as COO since the summer of 2013, Twiggs has spent the past nine months applying his knowledge and experience in Hot Springs Vil-lage.

In the Winter 2013 edition of the Advocate, Twiggs focused on the plan for keeping Hot Springs Village a relevant community for the current market.

In this edition, Twiggs talks a little

never diverse enough to level these development patterns across the entire 26,000 acres. In fact, efforts to maximize frontage sold on golf courses, lakes and views served to undervalue nearby properties by cut-ting off access to those amenities. In other words, there has been a lack of ultralocal value for building in Hot Springs Village.

What I mean when I’m talking about ultralocal is this – what is it that makes the area around your home special? What is it that makes it special for you to live where you live? This could be proximity to a lake or golf course or other amenity. Howev-er, in many areas, there is no specific attraction.

So, what has happened in the market in recent years and how does this affect Hot Springs Village?

When many of the gated commu-nities were built across the U.S., there was no emphasis given on quality of place. You could have a gated com-munity located next to a freeway and people would live there. For a while, just the presence of gates and golf was enough to guarantee lots would be sold.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case anymore. There’s been a shift among

more about what is happening in sim-ilar communities nationally and why it's important for Hot Springs Village to stay relevant in coming years.

Let’s talk more about how HSV was developed and what has hap-pened in the market to date.

When planned communities like Hot Springs Village were developed, all that was needed to create value was an emphasis on golf and country club living. In the 1970s to early 2000s, banks were willing to finance these types of communities. It didn’t really matter where the communities were built. As long as the community had gates, nice homes and an emphasis on golf, then the lots could be sold.

For Hot Springs Village specifically, the model Cooper created was a lot-selling model, not a build-out model. With multiple golf courses stretched out over such a large area, Hot Springs Village offered diverse "buy-in" pric-ing which made some areas more prone to development.

This means we had a wide variety of home prices but little building con-centration in areas without amenities. Over time, some development mi-grated to other areas of values such as lakes and views. However, the ameni-ties Hot Springs Village offered were

Q & A With David Twiggs

consumers to a lifestyle that’s more focused on doing, serving and learn-ing. Conspicuous consumption is no longer seen as a value by today’s consumer or by banks interested in financing these types of communities.

One area where Hot Springs Vil-lage does have an advantage over other communities is quality of place. We live in the middle of a national forest. If that’s not quality of place, I don’t know what is.

In addition, today’s consumers are much more interested in moving to a place that’s authentic and offers op-portunities for connection.

So, what we want to do is maxi-mize what we already have here in Hot Springs Village while increasing opportunities for authentic living and connection with others.

So, what does this look like in 2014?

To begin with, we want to develop amenities that require lower capi-tal investment, offering natural (i.e. authentic) places for folks to gather. Here are some examples. We kicked off the Rock Porch Sessions back in

November. This free music event fea-tures local artists performing in a laid back atmosphere. So far, they’ve been great, with members and guests flock-ing to listen to the music and connect with others.

And we are currently building Grove Park, which is set to open up in the late Spring. We are working with a farmer’s market that was al-ready meeting in the area, to provide a permanent area for the vendors to sell their produce (see related article on pg. 18), as well as provide a place for craft markets and other music and entertainment events.

The first membership event for the Ouachita Rod & Gun Club is set for April 26 and coincides with the Kay-ak Fishing Tournament on Lake Cor-tez (see related article on pg. 6).

We are also starting a Chef series in July that will feature local chefs cook-ing with regional ingredients.

These items are really just the start of many new and unique amenities that are coming to the Ouachita re-gion this year and in the future.

So, how do these and other up-coming amenities impact the na-

tional market?We have a unique opportunity here

in Hot Springs Village to create a new type of community.

In the longer term, we will have to make more investments in "bricks and mortar" amenities like a village center, an art village and creating bet-ter accessibility to trails and lakes.

Many of the newer communities that are being built today already have these type of amenities built into the structure while the older communi-ties are not necessarily moving toward these ideas of authentic living and connection. We want to add to what we already have here in Village, keep-ing the amenities we have in place like our great golf courses and outstanding fitness center. And by doing this, we can create a unique, authentic place where people will want to live.

You know, there’s a natural ten-dency to avoid change. However, the world has already changed around us. The new economic reality has changed it. The new generations coming of age have changed it.

Communities that ignore these changes are being seen as relics by these new generations – and are be-coming increasingly obsolete and ir-relevant.

We can keep the things we love about our Village but we must expand to meet these changes.

Here me say this – it’s not about losing anything, but about creating additional lifestyles that will both enhance our lives and create a more meaningful place to live.

This is a time of great opportunity - to create more to love in our Village for ourselves and others.

I’m excited about the future of Hot Springs Village and thankful to be part of what’s happening here.

TWIGGS continued from page 2

WWhen will it ever warm up again, whether you are here in Hot Springs Village or across the United States ... enough is enough of winter. Kudos to our POA Staff for keeping us safe and the Village running well during all the winter storms.

The cold wet weather continues to challenge us financially. Closing out 2013, the weather conditions did put us behind on golf revenues, and the cooler summer impacted our water revenues, but the POA Staff did an ex-cellent job controlling other expenses, so that we were only about $400,000 below budget projections.

Rolling over into 2014's cold weather, your POA Board continues to keep an eye on our financial health. Especially as our golf courses sit idle and our POA employees are spending extra hours keeping our community safe for property owners to get around in the snow and ice.

If this "polar vortex" effect contin-ues each year, the work of the Future Financial Task Force is even more vi-tal to the long-term financial health of our community. Led by POA Board Vice President, John Cooney, the task force is diligently working to iden-

tify the projected infrastructure and amenity capital costs to go along with the basic day-to-day maintenance costs of running the Village out until 2020. The second key aspect this task force is researching is viable funding alternatives to meet the projected costs.

This task force will soon be reporting to your POA Board on their ideas and recommenda-tions. From there, your POA Board will address the potential options for capital improvements, day-to-day maintenance costs and funding al-ternatives. Then the most important aspect of this overall financial conver-sation will ultimately occur...bringing it to all of you as property owners to have your voice in the final decision. STANDBY FOR A LOT MORE TO COME ON THIS CHALLENGE!!

Changing gears, the Village was saddened by the fatal dog attack last November. The tragic death of Joan Kappen motivated your POA Board and POA Staff to review the current pet control ordinances, rules and reg-ulations within Hot Springs Village.

Our review highlighted several ar-eas for action. First, we need to en-

sure consistent and standardized pet control ordinances in both Garland and Saline County portions of the Village. This consistency is key in the

expectations we will place on pet owners of court-determined vicious dogs and ordinance-identified high risk breed dogs.

Second, we need to ensure our law enforcement and ani-mal control officers have stron-

ger mechanisms to encourage those less responsible pet owners to become more responsible. Specifically we will strengthen the restraint/control and registration expectations for pet own-ers.

Not being a law-making body, your Board is working with the Garland and Saline County Quorum Courts to enact these HSV-specific pet con-trol ordinances. The ordinances are available on the POA website.

Your POA Board's ultimate goal is to PROMOTE RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP!

Lastly, a big thank you to Tom Bry-ant and John Cooney for their service on your POA Board for the past three years. Godspeed in your future re-tirement endeavors.

2014 Board Candidates

My wife Sharon and I have lived in the Village for 16 years, moving here from Plano, Texas. Before moving here full time, we owned a townhouse for sev-eral years in the Village.

I was born and raised in Seattle WA. I served four years in the U.S. Air Force with two years in Japan and two in Florida.

We are members of Village United Methodist church. I served on the church Finance Committee for three years. I belong to the Rotary Club of Hot Springs Village and have served as the “head flea” for what is considered the largest annual flea market sale in the area. For more than ten years we

have had gross receipts of $10-18 thousand that fund many youth proj-ects in our Rotary Club.

I had a 30 year career working for H. Ross Perot’s Electronic Data Sys-tems. I started with them in San Francisco CA, and then moved to Plano TX in 1977. Most of those years were in management positions. The largest responsibility was building data centers and procurement of all comput-er hardware and mechanical equipment to run them. I wrote Re-quest for Proposal bids to vendors for large quantities of computer equip-ment and ancillary equipment. This led into vendor management that in-

cluded purchasing agreements, ven-dor performance and other related processes. Benefits were cost saving efficiencies, volume pricing when applicable with delivery and installa-

tion processes that met all re-quirements. My background would lend itself to offering some guidelines to the POA in these areas.

During the past year, I have attended most of the POA board meetings to familiar-ize myself with our issues.

I am encouraged with the hiring of our new general manager who has some fresh ideas on how to grow our Village. Our amenities and facilities need to be kept in top class condition so our residents and visitors feel they are getting value for the dollars they spend.

I am fiscally conservative, yet I am committed to the growth of our Vil-lage. I will support fiscally responsible proposals that benefit all resident and non-resident property owners.

I respectfully ask for your vote in the coming election.

I believe the best days of the Village lie ahead – but that’s up to us. I offer relevant leadership experience, critical thinking abilities, proven communi-cation and people skills. That’s why I want to serve on the POA Board.

Following my MDiv, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, I was Senior Pas-tor of two large parishes in Madison, Wisc. Following my MS and PhD, UW, I was Director of Research Cen-ters at Washington State University and Boys Town, then Department Head at North Carolina State Univer-sity, where I retired as William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor in 2000.

At Boys Town, I had a lead role in creating the nation’s premiere center

I am Mary Neilson. I have lived in Hot Springs Village almost 7 years and am actively involved in the Hot Springs Village community. I am cur-rently serving on the Governmental Affairs Committee and I am seek-ing a position on the POA Board of Directors to serve my community. I believe in being involved and work-ing for both the resident and the non-resident members. It is critical that people of different backgrounds and stages in life serve in leadership roles in order to strengthen our commu-nity and contribute to its growth and development. Hot Springs Village is a great place to live, a great place to retire, and a great place to enjoy every stage of life.

I will promote the board’s role of establishing policies and supporting See NEILSON page 10

the general manager and department heads in executing these policies and their management of day-to-day op-erations. I believe that the role of the board is to participate in the prepa-ration and monitoring of the 5-year Strategic Plan to assure goals are being achieved and finan-cial resources are available to support the efforts for its im-plementation. My goals are to make decisions that pro-vide the best living environ-ment for current members and make the Village a community that will attract new members well into the future. To accomplish this, the Village needs to be competitive with other communities across the country. This should be done by: 1) promoting fiscal responsibility, 2) pursuing attractive amenity offerings and 3) exploring creative land plan-ning alternatives.

I am an Arkansas native. After liv-ing in Wisconsin, Washington, and California, my husband and I moved back home to Arkansas to raise our children. I am a member of the Vil-lage United Methodist Church, a

founding member of the Jes-sieville School District Foun-dation and PEO. My hus-band Robert is the general manager of the Hot Springs Village Wal-Mart, and both of our children attend Jes-sieville schools.

I am presently a sales manager for the Hot Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau and have coordinat-ed the Hot Springs Sister City Pro-gram for the past five years. The Hot Springs Sister City Program was re-cently named the 2012 Best Overall Program by Sister Cities Internation-

for youth studies. At NC State, I re-structured and refocused an old, large, deeply conflicted department that, by the end of my tenure as Head, raised its ranking more than comparison universities.

retary, Executive Committee, Lutheran Hospitals-Omaha.

• Member, North Carolina Governor’s Trade Mission to Japan.

• Member, National In-stitutes of Health Research Review Council-Washington.

A letter to the non-resident members…

Please read about my background in the POA article about candidates in this publication, but I’d like to

specifically address this letter to the members that do not currently reside in Hot Springs Village. I

understand you have unique concerns about owning a lot or home that you may not be able to watch over

daily or visit frequently, and may want to sell but not give away.

Our new CEO, David Twiggs, has innovative ideas for the future of the Village. I will support him as we explore

ways to grow the Village by marketing and planning for future development. Maintaining our Village

amenities and the security that led you to purchase a retirement or investment

property is my priority. In addition, adding offerings to draw new residents will

translate into increased property values and return on your investments.

If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected] .

I would appreciate your vote for HSV POA Board of Directors.

• The job of the Board is to grasp the big picture and set appropriate courses of action.

Wherever possible, it must remove itself from POA daily operations, for which the GM and Ast GM have re-sponsibility.

• Concurrently, the Board must remain an accountable trustee of our finances, quality POA services, uncompro-mised public safety, and excellent amenities.

• The Board must address delinquent assessments and backlogged maintenance. Both threaten our fiscal stability.

• Provision must be made for property owner input and

members must be kept informed.• The Village Demographics project, which documents

who we are and how we are changing, is emerging as a useful data-based planning tool. A complementary study of non-resident property owners should be done.

• Going forward, we must monitor the needs of ad-vanced-age Villagers, also the emerging interests of non-resident members who have yet to enjoy this special place we call home.

Money Matters

FOR HOT SPRINGS VILLAGE, 2013 provided funds and resources to make some major improvements to in-frastructure as well as improvements and renovations to amenities.

Several projects were started and funded during 2013 and will be completed in 2014 including the Water Treat-ment Plant Expansion, updates and reconstruction of the West gate fountain and entrance area, and the DeSoto Golf Course renovation (see related story on pg. 20).

Other 2013 projects include the Coronado Fitness Cen-ter HVAC system totaling $528,000 replacing the geother-mal system, approximately 30 miles of roads paved in 2013 at a cost of $1.4 million, and rolling stock for all depart-ments totaling $1,035,962.

Hot Springs Village concluded FY 2013 with a deficit of $-388,687. Though this figure is negative, there are several positives to consider. Preliminary estimates from as late as July 2013 indicated the deficit to be more than $800,000. Because of better than expected assessment revenues, and less than expected expenses, that deficit was reduced dra-matically.

2013 Revenues totaled almost $27 million. Though this is less than what was budgeted for 2013, assessment rev-enues were better than forecast.

2013 Operating Expenses totaled $24.5 million.2013 Capital Expenses totaled $6.5 million, coming

in under estimate by $1.7 million. $1.35 million of this

amendment policy. This policy will provide a formal pro-cess for budget amendments to the POA's adopted annual budget. It also allows for tracking and reporting of adjust-ments reallocating or restating budgeted funds.

The policy has two levels. The first level gives the HSV General Manager/Chief Operating Officer authority to ap-prove inter- and intra- departmental changes that do not impact the budget's bottom line.

The second level requires Board approval for overall bud-get changes increasing revenues and expenditures, adding additional capital expenditures that change the budget's bottom line.

A copy of the amendment is available on the Govern-ing Documents section of the Hot Springs Village website, www.hsvpoa.org.

Hot Springs Village News

THE HOT SPRINGS Village Board of Directors approved an ordinance on pet control at the Feb. 19 Regular Meeting. The ordinance was drafted after a resident was killed by a bull-mastiff/pit bull mix in Hot Springs Village on Nov. 21, 2013. The ordi-nance will be presented to the Gar-land and Saline County Quorum Courts for review and enactment.

At a town hall meeting on Jan. 23, Keith Keck, Hot Springs Village Board president, said the ordinance would encourage more responsible pet owners by “increased awareness of expectations for restraint and control of any dog,” allowing an understand-ing of “personal strengths and weak-nesses in controlling and handling a dog,” and a better understanding of a dog's personality.

Keck said the ordinance would al-low consistent and strengthened regu-lations for HSV because it standardiz-es laws for Garland and Saline county and has a stronger mechanism to en-courage less responsible pet owners.

The ordinance was adapted from and includes language from ordinanc-

es in Garland and Saline counties as well as Hot Springs Village rules. Spe-cific language on the following items are outlined in the ordinance.

Vicious Dogs: The ordinance out-lines specific and detailed require-ments for pet owners of court-deter-mined “vicious dogs,” of any breed including secure confinement require-ments, muzzle/leash specifications of at least three feet and 300 lb. tensile strength, the potential for court di-rected liability insurance require-ments, a spay/neuter requirement, immediate notification of escape and a penalty for non-compliance of a minimum of $500 and maximum of $1,000 and possible jail time.

High Risk Breeds: The ordinance defines high risk breeds as “gripper” breeds, commonly identified as the pit bull breed, and specifies secure con-finement requirements, leash specifi-cations of six feet and 300 lbs. tensile strength. At-large dog owners are sub-ject to court of jurisdiction action and a penalty for non-compliance with a minimum fine of $500 and a maxi-mum fine of $1,000 and possible jail

time.Restraint/Control: The ordinance

incorporates a Village rule already in effect requiring dogs to be under re-straint/control on common property, and this ordinance expands the lease requirement to all common property with a court determined penalty for unrestrained/uncontrolled dogs sited multiple times. Dogs would be al-lowed to be unrestrained for the fol-lowing reasons: shows or competi-tions, on the private property of the owner or property of others with their consent, for law enforcement pur-poses or to help a disabled person, or under owner control at the Desoto Dog Park or other common property as approved by the Board.

Pet Registration: The ordinance requires mandatory registration with the Property Owners Association for dogs living in the Village for more than 30 days and includes breed iden-tification and proof of rabies vaccina-tion.

To view the ordinance, go to http://www.hsvpoa.org/files/pdf/HSV_Pet_Ordinance.pdf.

New Ordinance Promotes Responsible Pet Ownership

THE DESOTO Dog Park, located on DeSoto Park Drive next to the Lawn Bowling Green, is now utiliz-ing a card entry system.

Dog owners who wish to use the facility MUST register their dogs at the Administrative Building, located at 895 DeSoto Blvd. in Hot Springs Village. When registering, bring a current rabies vaccination certificate from a veterinarian, and completed Pet Registration and Dog Park Waiv-er forms. The pet registration fee is $11.00 per pet. Pet Registration and

Dog Park Waiver forms are available online at www.hsvpoa.org. Please note: Even if you have already regis-tered your dog, you must also submit the Dog Park Waiver form to have ac-cess to the Dog Park.

Once registered, your electronic HSV gate card will be coded to en-ter the dog park. You must have an electronic gate card in order to use the dog park facility. Cards are available for purchase for the one-time fee of $12.75. For questions, call 501-922-5556.

Hot Springs Village NewsPermanent Farmer's Market Site Under Construction in HSV

THE DESOTO Golf Course Reno-vation is almost complete. With only minor projects remaining, the course is set to reopen at the end of April allowing at least 30 days of good weather to give the greens as much time as possible for grow-in.

At the end of 2013, the project was $35,000 under the $525,000 budget. The monies were carried over into 2014 to be used to renovate the 45-year old DeSoto golf maintenance

building, which needed a new roof and gutters. In addition, the slope around the building was regraded to eliminate rain water infiltrating the building. The interior of the building has also been renovated.

The Hot Springs Village Men's Garden Club helped with landscap-ing design and planting on several greens and tees.

Tee times for the course will be available for booking mid-April.

Tennis has historically been called the “sport for a lifetime.” Those who es-pouse the game offer a host of physi-cal, mental and even social benefits for those who play the sport regularly.

Health experts claim playing tennis just three hours a week may cut risk of death in half, according to Healthy Magazine.

Tennis players often exhibit more vigor, optimism and self-esteem and less depression, anger and confusion, according to experts, who also say that the alertness and tactical thinking re-quired to play the game may actually generate new connections between the nerves in the brain, continuing cerebral development throughout life.

For these reasons and more, this traditional sport is growing “by leaps and bounds,” said Bob Wagstaff, Coronado Tennis Center pro and manager.

It’s never too late to take up the sport, continued Wagstaff, noting the Coronado Tennis Center’s par-ticipants range in age from 6 to 86. “Though many people play tennis for most of their lives, some players here at the Coronado Tennis Center didn’t start playing until after they retired and they continued to play the sport for the next 20 years,” he said.

Ten of the Center’s 13 courts are clay, which is made of volcanic rock

"Sport for a Lifetime" Offers Physical, Mental, Social Benefits

and is easier on the body. The unique surface offers less chance of injuring an ankle or knee while playing.

In addition to physical and men-tal health, the game also offers social health benefits.

Playing tennis with others is a great way to meet new friends, said Wag-staff, noting the sport brings people together, whether celebrating a win or dealing with defeat. “Tennis commu-nities become like families,” he said.

In Hot Springs Village, the Coro-nado Tennis Center offers a variety of programs and events that fit the needs

and wants of players of all ages and abilities, says Wagstaff.

“We have people from age 7 to 70 training to improve their games,” he said, noting the differing ability levels of players helps the staff to more eas-ily pair up those with similar abilities. And the cost to play at such a great facility is minimal, thanks to the Hot Springs Village Tennis Association’s (HSVTA) administration of most events.

The HSVTA, an association of over 400 members, offers league play at all levels including mixed leagues, wom-en’s and men’s doubles, USTA Team Tennis, and junior training. The ten-nis center also offers other organized play on a weekly basis, USTA-sanc-tioned tournaments and court reser-vations.

Village tennis players may choose from a variety of programs ranging from league play to fun social events.

The Tennis Center is currently un-dergoing some upgrades. Six of the Center’s 10 clay courts are currently being rebuilt with a new sub-surface watering system. This update will help alleviate reoccurring leaks in the current pressurized system.

The contractor, Australian Court-works, is also changing the slope of the courts to drain toward the north to deter erosion of the facility’s side-walks. Conduit will also be installed for adding lighting in the future.

The Center’s hard courts will also be resurfaced during the renovations.

Please note: Refunds for annual pass-es will not be given because of the reno-vations. The Coronado Tennis Center will remain open and clay courts 7-10 and hard courts 11-13 will be available for play at most times.

HOT SPRINGS VILLAGE infra-structure continues to improve with several projects set for completion in 2014.

Water Treatment Plant Expan-sion: The Water Treatment Plant expansion, which began in January 2013, is set for completion in July of this year. This $6.5 million dollar project will increase the number of gallons of treated water per day from 4 million to 6 million, and includes a number of improvements over the current system.

Crews are currently working to restore the second clarifier, filter me-dia and start up, and install Supervi-sory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) controls for the plant and distribution system. The SCADA sys-tem is a computerized control system that can automatically start and stop pumps, open and close valves, display temperatures and pressures, monitor water quality, generate reports, and much more. The system can even be controlled remotely from a smart phone or tablet.

The fluoride and phosphate feed facility and building are currently under construction. Crews are also working on improvements to the bulk feed system, high service pump and intake pump station.

West Gate: West Gate Entrance Improvements were started in 2013 and will be completed in June 2014 at a projected cost of $400,000. Ben-nett Brothers Stone Company is cur-rently rebuilding the stone weir on the waterfall portion of the project. Jason Temple, HSV Director of Pub-lic Works, has secured the original plans for the E. Faye Jones sculpture

Improvements Continue in Hot Springs Villagefrom the University of Arkansas and bids for construction are currently be-ing solicited. The north pond has been cleaned out and a concrete liner will be installed to help facilitate better maintenance.
