FOCUS GROUP INSIDER'S REPORT

So the focus groups were held last year to decide what residents wanted to include in a 10 Year Strategic Plan for FW.  Sounds like a great idea until you realize that focus groups don't always focus on the people they're supposed to be focusing on. (The Ford Focus got it's name from a focus group which had grown bored and impatient and the irony of this was not picked up by the marketing team.)

Back in April 2011 I attended the District One Focus meeting for the Strategic
Needs Long Range Plan. There were approximately 8 or 9 owners. Some suggestions
were a bypass lane at the Guard-House; Residential roofing and painting; a physical
fitness work-out area, a reading/library area, and minor improvements at the Clubhouse.

The most dominating suggestion was made by a gentleman who spoke at length and with thorough knowledge of the present Golf Irrigation System and the need to rebuild it. It appeared to be prearranged.

Then on February 8_, 2012, I attended an informational meeting on an appointed Priority List which was # 1 A NEW GOLF IRRIGATION SYSTEM, # 2 CLUBHOUSE ELEVATOR/NEW DRIVE-UP ENTRANCE, proceeding with new golf equipment, district buildings, roads, and # 6 on the list was our Residential Buildings.

May I point out that in the Proposed Budget 2011-2012, only $401,400 was
allotted for Buildings Maintenance & Repairs compared to a combined $1,118,908 for
Restaurant & Golf Staff Expenses.

On February 21,2012, I attended the Public Hearing where I heard mostly
negative remarks for the Golf Irrigation & Clubhouse Changes. I asked a week later for
minutes of the Hearing and was told there were no typed minutes, but I could pick-up a
audio disc of the meeting, which I did.

From the audio disc of the Public Hearing approximately only 10% to 15% either
mentioned or had favorable remarks of either of the two Bond Proposals.

Our Residential and other buildings, plus roads and paved areas should come
before a GOLF and RESTAURANT BUSINESS, and I hope the silent majority of
owners/residents VOTE NO on May 10^th against both PROJECT PROPOSALS.
