BBVCC Bulletin
January 2020
New year’s is always a great time to re-
flect on the lessons learned and cele-
brate successes of the prior year. For us
at the Village, its been a great year and
regardless of some of the challenges we
have faced, I am very proud of our
Board, Committees, and Staff for anoth-
er great year of continuous improve-
ment and forward momentum.
Some of the highlights for the year in-
clude:
• Implementation of the fob system at
the pool, allowing use to reduce la-
bor costs and streamline distribution
of pool passes.
• In-house crack filling of 2/3rds of the
Village (saving the association >$30k)
along with orchestrating sealcoating
of those same roads.
• Taking over Pro Shop operations
with minimal financial impact to the
Village.
• Replacement of the Security Vehicle
for an annual savings of over $10k in
fuel costs.
• Approval of an off-leash area for all
of your pets.
• Initiating community discussions re-
lated to stormwater and the Slough.
• Development and first phase imple-
mentation of a community-wide
landscape improvement plan.
• Creation of a Capital Asset Planning
committee with special focus on the
Marina and long term plans for re-
placement.
• Prioritization of marina repairs.
• Pool shower room remodel.
• Pool painting/resurfacing.
• Took over janitorial services inhouse
for an overall savings.
• Replaced clubhouse windows.
• Upgraded/replaced kayak racks.
Some of the lessons learned include:
• Never underestimate the power of
social media.
• Not all technology is easy to learn,
and we need to do better and help-
ing owners adopt & understand
some of the changes we make.
In addition to reflection, this is also an
opportunity to get excited about the
many things to come in the next year.
While the Board still needs to prioritize
the overall goals for the community and
administration, some priorities we have
for the year include:
• Implement online visitor/guest list
management.
• Explore and update the many poli-
cies/rules that affect Village life – are
they relevant, are they clear, and do
they serve the Village the very best.
• Collect proposals from Marina con-
tractors and develop the long term
solution/strategy for Marina repair
and replacement.
• Continue beautification of common
area landscaping (ongoing implemen-
tation of landscape improvement
plan).
• Dredging of the mouth of the mari-
na.
THANK YOU

NEW YEAR CONT’D

of involvement. Activities that have Coordinators will be held and conducted with even
greater vigor than last year. Since we have a written record of these events in the past,
as well as mentors, Coordinators don’t have to start their planning from scratch and
can add their new ideas as well. If we don’t get Coordinators, then we will have to de-
cide on the scale of the activities or if there is enough interest to do it.

INTERESTED IN LEARNING TO
BOAT AND NEED TO FIND
SOURCES OF TRAINING AND
MATERIALS? (by Jerry Stege - BBVYC
Member and Power Squadron Member):
Here is a brief description of the Belling-
ham Sail and Power Squadron and their
web site. Going to the web site one finds
the American Boating Course (ABC) is
featured. Clicking on "Education" one
finds a complete description of both the
ABC course all the all the other educa-
tion opportunities available through the
Squadron. After taking every course but
for one advanced Celestial Navigation
Course and after having taught many of
these courses, I find this is an excellent
way to improve my boating skills.
Bellingham Sail and Power Squadron and
also boatingisfun.org
The United States Power Squadrons®, a
non-profit organization, through the Bel-
lingham Sail and Power Squadron (BSPS),
a local chapter, has served our communi-
ty for over 60 years, teaching safer boat-
ing and organizing fun events.
