At the January 26 Board Meeting, Interim General Manager, John Paul, presented some of the HSVPOA 2021 Annual Accomplishments. Below are some highlights. For a more detailed list, see the pdf below.
- The Payroll Protection Program loan was forgiven. The Accounting Department did a very good job in getting this done in a timely manner.
- Food and Beverage losses were reduced by more than $350,000 compared to 2020.
- Renovation of the Balboa Club with minimal expense.
- The Golf Department and the Discovery Operations were moved to the Balboa Club, which freed up much-needed space in the Administration Building.
- We have a new restaurant vendor in the Balboa Club. Click here to read more about this.
- Gate Security has been targeted. A new fast-arm gate will soon be used in the right lane at the East Gate. Balboa will be the test site for the fast-arm gates before they are installed at other locations. Paul said, “We think we can cut down massively on the tailgating, if not eliminate it.”
- The ability to pull over and then tailgate through Balboa and Danville Gates has been removed.
- “The first phases of the Lot Strategy Plan have been implemented. Click here to read about the purchase of the 2,115 lots from the Commissioner of State Lands. We have developed a long-term strategy and policy towards lot acquisition and suspension. We are also currently grouping some lots so we can market neighborhoods to developers. We have seen tremendous interest in this, moving into 2022.”
- We raised $125,000 at an equipment auction.
- Staff worked closely with Board Directors and FRATF to develop the 7-year O & M Budget, as required for essential operations moving forward so that we can make plans for the future.
- An assessment increase was passed. This will be phased in over a three-year period.
- The Accounting Department applied for and received rebates in the amount of $57,000.
- Higher Golf Numbers.

This is a good start, best list of what went on that I have seen in 8 years.
Probably timely and required with the new GM coming onboard.
Now they need accountability to be included. Each Director and/or manager needs to have SMART goals published and the results shared quarterly with the membership in this summary format.
This will drive improvement and accountability. This concept has been around since the 1980s. Prior to that people did just what the POA has provided. A summary of what was done, unfortunately this doesn’t tell us what did not get done, nor how successful the line item was. (Ie. on time, in budget, savings (actual vs projected)
Hopefully the new GM will drive this though the organization.
Specific – target a specific area for improvement.
Measurable – quantify or at least suggest an indicator of progress.
Assignable – specify who will do it.
Realistic – state what results can realistically be achieved, given available resources.
Time-related – specify when the result(s) can be achieved.
