The regular Board Meeting agenda includes organizational matters, staff reports from District Counsel, District Manager, and Club Management (including a Management Discussion & Analysis Report). Key business matters focus on a presentation by the Business Planning Advisory Group, a Public Hearing on the Adoption of Membership Caps and Initiation Fees, Consideration of Resolution 2025-10 adopting these caps, and the Review of RFP Responses for the 9-Hole Golf Course Renovation. Other items include a discussion on re-appointing a Communications Coordinator and the ratification of payment authorizations.

Key discussions during the meeting included the presentation of the Golf Advisory Group's Short Game Practice Area Improvement Plan. Staff reports covered updates from the District Counsel regarding CCR Proposed Amendments, the District Manager, and Club Management, which included a Management Discussion & Analysis Report. Financial matters involved the ratification of Payment Authorization Nos. #95 and #96.

The session served as a follow-up to previous presentations regarding capital needs and proposals for the facility. Key discussion points included the substantial renovation of the golf course (holes 1-9, 10-18, and planned 19-27), renovation of the interior dining space (with anticipated acoustic work completion), and upcoming redesign/reconstruction of the outside dining area. Other completed Phase One items include relocating the croquet pitch and constructing four pickleball courts. Critical future needs identified are the total replacement of the aging irrigation system to conserve water, renovation and expansion of the fitness space due to current size constraints and lack of classroom space for classes, and securing adequate meeting space for clubs and card players. Furthermore, there is a critical need to relocate and upgrade the inadequate, near-illegal staff offices currently situated in attic space. The Board also plans short-term parking lot repairs (potholes, restriping) and long-term plans to upgrade the pro shop facility by removing the existing pro shop and enhancing the Varsity Club. The Board acknowledged prior feedback regarding a proposed large building concept, apologized for the overreach, and confirmed that future proposals will prioritize preserving the look, feel, and appeal of University Park Country Club. The next steps involve gathering input via a summer survey before proceeding to a final bond proposal vote.

The University Park Recreation District's Capital Improvement Plan, presented alongside a proposed referendum, outlines planned facility enhancements for the University Park Country Club. The plan addresses critical areas such as golf course irrigation and infrastructure, kitchen renovation and modernization, fitness center expansion, activity and administration center development, and additional parking. It aims to maximize resident and member experiences while enhancing property values, detailing a project timeline extending to 2026 and proposing funding mechanisms through either homeowner assessment or a bond referendum.
