Election Operating Rule Changes

Nellie Gail Ranch Owners Association’s Election Rules and Procedures are being entirely rewritten to ensure that they are in compliance with the most recent amendments to the Davis-Stirling Act, which were signed into law October 12, 2019, and become effective January 1, 2020.  To comply with law to implement the new legislative requirements by January 1, 2020, the Board adopted these rules at its November 19, 2019 meeting. 
 
The purpose of this notice is to offer Nellie Gail Ranch Members an opportunity to provide comments on the new rules and to propose changes as may be desired.  In accordance with California Civil Code section 4360, which requires the Association to provide the Members with a minimum of twenty-eight (28) days general notice of proposed rule changes, the Board will be reviewing Member comments and considering further revisions as may be proposed at its January 21, 2020 meeting.

Pickleball is Coming to Nellie Gail Ranch!

Pickleball is a relatively new sport first played in 1965, which combines elements of tennis, ping pong, and badminton. The internet reflects all kinds of estimates as to how many millions upon millions of players now enjoy this sport in the US and worldwide. But what really caught our attention was a passionate group of Pickleball playing Nellie Gail Ranch homeowners who wanted a local place to play. 
 
The first feasibility discussion was at the June Board Meeting, which was followed by an August pickleball demonstration at which temporary courts were put in place, and demonstration games were played. After further discussion, a trial period was implemented on October 21st as we set up three courts and invited our homeowners and their guests to come play. Over the course of the trial period, we had many players enjoying the courts, and homeowner players organized several Pickleball Socials that drew a fun group to the Association Clubhouse. 
 
We want to be sure we continue to be good neighbors to those in proximity to the Recreation Center, so we carefully evaluated which courts would be best situated for play and which hours would be most appropriate for Pickleball play. At the November 19th meeting, the Board considered member comments and support and approved converting Tennis Courts 1 and 2 into 8 Pickleball courts. We are excited to be able to provide our homeowners with this new amenity. While the sport is often referenced as a favorite new sport for seniors, it has its origins as a family game, and we are seeing families and younger players enjoying it too. A Pickleball Membership may make a perfect gift for someone you love!! We invite you to consider signing up for a Pickleball membership at the Nellie Gail Ranch Tennis Center.
