This week we have completed the installation of the window casing and started staining the wood doors and windows finishing the multi-purpose room, kitchen and storage rooms. Staining will continue for another two weeks as we move to the front of the Clubhouse and then the Association office. The following remaining work is scheduled this month:
Meanwhile, we will be able to share more next week regarding the exterior scheduling. We are aiming for April 4th to be completely operational on the interior. Thank you to our homeowners and club members for your patience.
This week we completed the Equestrian Center Clubhouse reserve projects that replaced the patio cover and sliding glass door and expanded the deck to include a handicapped ramp for improved accessibility. The new three-panel pocket door provides 10 feet of access to the deck that has a solid alumawood cover.
The reserve funds used for these projects were funded by boarding fees with no assessment contribution.
We look forward to providing our Equestrian clients with a nice area to gather and socialize.
We are optimistic that the interior of the Clubhouse will be complete by the end of March. Work pending as of the end of February includes final cabinet installation, wood staining, countertop installation, fireplace stonework and finally, carpet. All work is in process and scheduled and the Clubhouse interior is really coming together nicely. Come on down and take a look at the progress, play some pickleball or tennis and take a swim.
In the last few months, we have focused on completing the interior so our Members can begin enjoying the benefits of the new interior. Work is scheduled to commence on the exterior of the building and the parking lot on March 9th. We will send further scheduling updates via our This Week in Nellie Gail Ranch e-mails.
The wood chip play surfaces at Gallup Park and Hidden Trail Park are being replenished today. Gone are the days where simple wood chips were utilized. The wood chips we utilize are an engineered wood fiber specifically made for and certified for playground use. They maintain cushioning properties, do not decompose and have improved impact resistance. That’s important for our parents to know. But all the kids know is that its fun to run, jump and play in. This should be a great weekend to get out and visit one of the parks!

Open Drop-in Play for beginners/advanced beginners in March
Beginning in March, we will be offering drop-in play for beginners and advanced beginners. These are players who typically are beginning to play the game and or have limited experience playing it. Your skill level could be described as just starting to play, limited experience, rely on others to keep score, and can sustain a short rally. It will allow you to play with others to develop your skills together. You should have completed the open free clinic or played somewhere else at least once. Free for Members, otherwise a $5 guest fee. It will be on Monday and Wednesday from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm and Saturday 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm beginning in March.

The Annual Meeting of the Members and Election of Board of Directors is set for Wednesday, June 3, 2020 at 6:30 p.m. at the Nellie Gail Ranch Clubhouse at 25281 Empty Saddle Drive, Laguna Hills, CA. In order to achieve quorum, at least fifty percent (50%) of the Homeowners (i.e. 704 out of 1407 members) must vote. In the event that less than 50% of the membership participate in the Annual Meeting, either by returning their ballot or appearing in person, then those in attendance may adjourn the meeting to a date not less than 5 nor more than 30 days thereafter, and the quorum at such adjourned meeting shall be lowered to twenty-five percent (25%) (i.e. 352 out of 1407 members). The Reconvened Election meeting date, if necessary, will be Wednesday, June 10, 2020 at 6:30 pm at the same location.
This year three (3) seats are up for election. The pre-ballot notice listing candidate names to be included on the ballot will be mailed to all homeowners of record prior to April 1, 2020.

Also included on this years’ ballot will be a special ballot measure for a membership vote to continue or discontinue 24-hour mobile patrol services. The 2019 vote count was 330 in favor of keeping the service, 192 Against and 17 Abstained. Feedback after the 2019 annual meeting suggested a preference to include this ballot measure again on the 2020 ballot. Information regarding the cost of this service will be provided prior to balloting.
