Directional Advisory Vote Now Open
Help Shape the Future of Our Clubhouse & Pavilion
Pine Mountain Club is entering an important decision phase. Repairs and maintenance to the Clubhouse and Pavilion can no longer be delayed — and your voice will help guide the direction.
🗳️ What This Vote Is (and Isn’t)
-
This is a non-binding directional advisory vote.
-
It does not approve spending.
-
It does show the Board which pathway the community prefers as planning moves forward.
📚 Background
Over the past two weeks, the Board hosted two town hall sessions reviewing:
-
Davis-Stirling and Corporations Code requirements
-
Kern County building limitations
-
PMC governing documents
-
Three potential pathways for Clubhouse & Pavilion repairs and upgrades
A full presentation and town hall recording are available below.
Repair & Upgrade Options
All expenditures, reserve items or special assessment items must be approved individually by the Board in Open Session.
Option A
Reserve Item Replacements & Essential Improvements
Focus: Address required reserve replacements while keeping changes minimal.
Goal: Maximize existing space without adding new amenities.
Examples include:
-
Reorganizing staff workspaces to better use existing rooms
-
Extending rooflines to reduce long-term maintenance
-
Increasing siding coverage to extend building life
-
Reorienting the kitchen for improved workflow
-
Adding a dumbwaiter to improve safety and efficiency
Option B
Strategic Upgrades Within Board Authority (Under 5% Cap)
Includes all of Option A, plus targeted upgrades the Board can approve in Open Session (up to 5% of the annual budgeted gross expenses).
Examples include:
-
ADA-compliant lobby bathroom upgrades
-
Passenger elevator for access between floors
-
Floor-to-ceiling windows/sliding doors overlooking golf course
-
Multi-purpose Pavilion flooring for fitness / dance classes
-
Mirrored wall in the Pavilion
-
Small gym space downstairs with access to pool bathrooms
Option C
Extensive Remodel (Requires Member Vote)
Projects in this category exceed the 5% cap and require:
-
A binding membership vote
-
A majority of a quorum (1,452 participants; 727 voting “yes”)
Important Note:
Due to seismic code requirements and the Clubhouse’s proximity to fault lines, it is highly unlikely that a fully new building could be permitted on the existing site.
