DEAR LOS PRADOS HOMEOWNER:
On March 21, 2017, the membership of the Los Prados Community Association will have
the opportunity to elect four (4) Homeowners’ to serve a two (2) year term (2017-2019)
as a Director on the Executive Board of Directors.
Pursuant to the Association’s governing documents and sections of NRS 116.31034, you
are hereby given notice that at the December 20, 2016, Annual Meeting of the Membership
the election process will begin by the appointment of the Nominating Committee.
On that date, each Owner of Record desiring to serve will be invited to submit a Candidacy
Nomination form. Each unit’s owner who is qualified to serve as a member of the Executive
Board may nominate himself or herself for membership on the Executive Board by submitting
the nomination form to the Nominating Committee BY January 5, 2017. The form provides
for the candidate to:
(a) make a good faith effort to disclose any financial, business, professional or
personal relationship or interest that would result or would appear to a reasonable person to result
in a potential conflict of interest for the candidate if the candidate were to be elected to serve
as a member of the Executive Board;
(b) disclose whether the candidate is a member in good standing. A candidate shall not be
deemed to be in “good standing” if the candidate has any unpaid and past due assessments
or construction penalties that are required to be paid to the Association. The candidate must
make all disclosures required in writing to the Association with his or her candidacy information.
The Association shall distribute the disclosures, on behalf of the candidate, to each member
of the Association with the ballot or, in the event ballots are not prepared, in the next regular
mailing of the Association. The Association is not obligated to distribute any disclosure
pursuant to the subsection IF the disclosure contains information that is believed to be
defamatory, libelous or profane.
The Executive Board may determine that IF, at the closing of the prescribed period for nominations
for membership on the Executive Board, the number of candidates nominated for membership
on the Executive Board is equal to or less than the number of members to be elected to the
Executive Board at the election, then the Secretary of other officer specified in the bylaws of the
Association will cause notice to be given to each unit’s owner informing each unit’s owner that:

Executive Board by submitting a nomination to the Executive Board within 30 days after the
notice; and
(b) the number of units’ owners who submit such a nomination greater than the number of

***From the Chief Operating Officer***
Dear Residents,
At the October board meeting, changes were made to our parking regulations.
Copies of the revisions are available at the front desk and can be found on our
website www.losprados-golf.com under the community corner section.
We are in the process of resolving the noise issue in the restaurant. In fact, by the time you read
this we should have acoustical treatment installed to help the problem.
The golf course fencing project continues. The masonry work is going well and the iron fencing
replacement is underway. Please trim back any landscaping and remove any decorative ornaments.
We will post a notice at your residence letting those impacted by the change when they are reaching
your village. Please feel free to contact the front desk should you have any questions.
***REMINDER*** Please make your reservations early for New Year’s Eve as this event is always
a sell-out.
As always, thank you for your continued support and feedback.
Cordially,
Margaret Thayer
Chief Operating Officer
***President’s Column***
We are heading into our holiday season and the remodeling of the club house and
restaurant is almost complete. We are having an acoustical company look into the
noise factor of the bar. Hopefully in a couple of weeks this will be completed.
The sales for both the restaurant and the golf course/shop has been very positive
since the
completion. We need to patronize both the golf course/shop and restaurant.
The golf course fencing is now in full force and we have had a lot of compliments.
This should be completed in the upcoming weeks. Thanks to everyone for their
cooperation in this process.
We had a meeting concerning the detention basin with the committee and a lot of
discussion has to be ironed out. We will be discussing this matter in the next sched-
uled board meeting on December 20, 2016. I would like to thank everyone that
served on this committee for their hard work and dedication.
Ed Ujifusa
President
HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Treasurers Report
7
Overall October performed very close to budget.
Revenues for each department behaved as they have throughout the fiscal year;
up $4,000 in the general category (Administration, Loop Road, Maintenance and Security) due to
accrued fines and fees that we do not budget for, Golf off $7,000 compared to the budget and
$3,000 less than a year ago, F&B up $11,000 compared to the budget and $19,000 better than a
year ago.
Expenditures showed great variations from the budget amounts primarily because the months
that contain three payrolls changes from year to year and I did not consider that in estimating
amounts for each month-year to date comparisons are more valid and I will comment further on
them. Expenses in the general category are about $17,000 less than budgeted because
anticipated increases in health insurance costs and electricity costs did not materialize. Expenses
in golf are about $93,000 less than budgeted largely due to health insurance, electricity, vacancies
on the golf maintenance staff and the cost of goods in the pro shop.
In F&B costs are up about $27,000 primarily in wages and cost of goods-both
predictable with the increase in business. For the first eight months of the fiscal year we are about
$92,000 better than a budget that planned to lose about $77,000 for the entire year. Since more
than a third of that $92,000 is in unbudgeted fees and fines (which we may not actually collect),
I’d say we are pretty much on target. Aged Owner Balances are up solely due to violation fines,
Available Cash balances dipped slightly, and the Reserve Account balance declined as expected
to about $2,800,000.
17-18 BUDGET
While Margaret and I have the outline of a budget for next year pretty well completed, revisions
may be made following an open budget session on December 13 th. The Board will vote on
December 20, 2016 on a total budget to be presented to the homeowners for their approval. The
draft budget as it exists now calls for no change in the monthly assessments; they will remain at
$170.00 per month. The same is true of the support for Golf and for F&B-no change.
A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS 2017 TO ALL!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR
Margaret and I wish each of you and your families a Merry Christmas and a 2017 full of happiness,
love, good heath, and success. Without the amazing support of Los Prados residents and their
friends, the Library would not exist. Kudos to the entire Club House staff, the front and back offices
and all of the maintenance staff. A very special salute to Nanci and Dee who are always willing to
help me resolve the various problems and strange situations that arise during the year.
Last but not least, a very special thanks to the volunteers who assist in maintaining the Library. Not
only do they drop in regularly to stock donations but whenever a crush of books suddenly appear,
they are always willing to come on down and help. They are Judy Cooper (Desert Fountains) Sandy
Kendall (Desert Fountains), Suzanne Rayno (Cliff Rose Shores), Ann Riccardi (Castle Bay Shore),
and Delores West (Glenarden Village) If you use the
library and know them, give them a big “Thanks” for
all their hard work.

From The Dust Devils Car Club
It's with a very, very heavy heart that the Los Prados Dust Devils relay the loss of our be-
loved President and leader Marvin Benat on October 29, 2016. He had been battling cancer
for many months.
Marv was truly one in a million. He was easily the nicest person you could ever meet. He
was a devoted husband, dedicated volunteer, a pharmacist by profession and a master me-
chanic as well.
Quiet and unassuming, Marv touched many lives. You might know him from his early morn-
ing dog walks. If you ever attended one of our annual LPDD car shows then you had the
chance to see Marvin's restored 1954 Ford sedan. His
father bought it new in late '53. In recent years Marv
brought it back to life with some unique customizing, new
paint, a late model V-8 engine (with air conditioning), and a
special interior stitched up by his wife Martha.
To say that he will be missed is a gross understatement.
Farewell 'ole buddy. May your ride be sunny, the road ahead smooth, and your destination a
place of everlasting happiness.

LOS PRADOS WOMENS GOLF
ASSOCIATION
The Invitational is behind us, but what a day! Weather was
absolutely beautiful for the full field (144 golfers) who took
advantage of a great event. Thanks to Terry Strong who
chaired the event this year and her many, many committees
who made it a success. And to make the day complete,
Ruth Golden got a Hole-in-1 on # 6!! Congrats, Ruth!
It just doesn’t get any better………...
The slate of 2017 officers elected were:
Ruth Golden, President
Bonnie Thompson VP
Barb Houliston Secretary
Judy Cooper Treasurer
Barb Daffenberg Tournament Chair
Shirley Vandermoon assist
Linda Jacobs and Cheryl Tedio are our latest new members bringing our group to 73. Again, we
are encouraging anyone who loves golf and has time Wednesday morning to join our group. All
it takes is five rounds with us on Wednesdays, and a $40 USGA handicap fee.
Reminder: 2017 Handicap fees are now due
Mark your calendars for December 14 @ 11am – It’s LPWGA’s Xmas Party! We’ll have a short
meeting to swear in the new officers, and then it’s fun & games for the group. We’re delighted
once again to have Cheryl Rodrigues and her Celebrity City Singers quartet from Sweet Adelines
entertain! Note there will be a short meeting re Team Play following lunch Dec 14; if you are
interested in participating, please attend.
The course is really in great shape so let’s do our best to keep it that way by repairing divots on
the fairways, ball marks on the greens, and adhering to the 90 degree rule.
Sad news: Aliwayne Musser’s husband Scott passed away. Our condolences to Aliwayne and her
family.
Happy December birthdays: Elaine Ansberry, Vivian Draz, Rosie Duran, Linda Ericson, Karen
Jones, Mary Schweitzer, Haven Short, Arlene Ternes and Shirley Vandermoon.

I ask all homeowners and golfers to
help us by not using the golf course
cart paths as your road home. It is a
safety issue as well as a courtesy to
the golfers playing the course. Your
cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank You!
Care of the Course
Thank you for observing the 90 degree rule. The course looks great
after the over-seed. I ask your continued support on keeping our golf
course beautiful. Repairing ball marks and filling in divots goes a long
way to aid in our efforts to keep our course in top shape. Thanks Again!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
The Association board voted to approve a policy of no five-member
groups prior to 10:00 a.m. daily effective on 1 January 2017 to help
regulate speed of play. No doubt there will be exceptions to the policy
depending upon various course conditions. Exceptions may only be
approved by the Director of Golf.
NEWS FLASH: The plastic containers of sand commonly found on
golf carts and tee boxes are NOT, repeat NOT, decorator items.
Please use them to fill and smooth divots on the tees and fairways.
Personalized instruction is available upon request.
Many thanks to all who participated in the various tournaments through
out the year. We look forward to seeing
you again in 2017.
Remember: Obey cart signs, don’t drive
where prohibited, and keep up with
group in front of you, not ahead of the
group behind you. Leave the course in
better shape than you found it.
