PROP 3 for CDDs should be next.

Here's ways to reduce the workload. Publish a list of everything that is automatically approved, and remove it from requiring any ARC paperwork. Things like painting with a pallet of pre-approved colors. Roofing using pre-approved styles and colors. Long list of approved plants and trees. Replacing screens with glass slider. And so on. Cut the workload by 80% and then the process gets a lot better for everyone on ARC, and homeowners. That doesn't need spending lots of $$ on a hearing officer.

$237 per hour seems high for reviewing archertecture reviews. Surly this could be done for less.

There needs to be a limit to the hours required, if this was a full time 2080 hrs a year that would be $492,000 a year plus travel (unknown amount). There probably want be an issue hiring someone for the job, there maybe someone with inside connections waiting for the approval. What skills/ education will be required. This sounds like a job created for someone, a big increase from a volunteer position.

Rumor only a Rumor. There are two ladies who roam around in a Golf Cart reviewing properties. I would approach them = Free is good. Beats $ 237.00hr.

way too foolish and a total waste of time and money. ARC approvals are supposed to be straight forward 1 application = 10 minutes tops, so what is the problem ??? Only problem I ever found in our ARC (back when I was HOA pres) is that they couldn't read. Any document should be clear and straight forward. if not then change the docs.

I emailed the supervisors to consider a more realistic option.
