We want to start by wishing you a Happy New Year! While the pool is closed for the winter, the Pool Club still is busy - we have our annual meeting next month, we have board positions to fill by election at the meeting, and are actively preparing for the 2023 Pool season. The Club also needs to review and collect (starting in early March) the annual maintenance fee for 2023. There are details on all these topics, so read on!

Regards,
The Greenbriar Pool Board of Directors

2023 Maintenance Fee $25 Increase

As described in the February 2022 Newsletter and in subsequent communications to the membership throughout the 2022 season, the Board made over $50,000 in meaningful capital improvements to the facility in 2022 (to include re-paving the side parking lot and adding sport courts, and installing a new playground) but opted not to raise Maintenance Fees for the 2022 Pool season. However, we did forecast to members that we would likely increase the Maintenance Fee for 2023 to cover these expenses plus any increased operational expenses associated with our service contract with NV Pools. Additional details will be included in the February 2023 Newsletter to be circulated in early February, however, the Board has voted to increase the 2023 Maintenance Fee by $25 to $275, which will raise an additional $15,000 in cashflow to offset last year's investments and also help offset the increased NV Pools maintenance fees (which increased more than usual from 2022 to 2023, nearly 12%, to adjust for inflation and increased labor and material costs). We are notifying the membership of this adjustment early so that this increase does not come as a surprise to anyone.

Open Seats for the Board of Directors

The Club is looking for people to serve on the board, as three of our seats expire every year. So if you have interest, please send our admin (pool@greenbriar.org) a message no later than January 29, indicating that you’d like to run for the Board. Include your name, your contact information, and a paragraph indicating what experience and goals you’ll bring to the board. We will publish the information in our February newsletter so that members can think about who they’d like to see join the leadership team. Write-in votes at the annual meeting are permitted, but we strongly suggest you get your candidacy included in the newsletter.

Bylaws Changes for 2023

We have not received any proposals for bylaws changes in 2023, and we will not accept them after January 27. If you have a proposal, please send it to pool@greenbriar.org and president@greenbriar.org.

2023 Annual Membership Meeting

Our 2023 Annual Membership Meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 22 at Greenbriar East Elementary School. We will give out other details in the Newsletter that will be e-mailed to all members by early February.
