Meet the Candidates
Steve Ricks
In my previous articles I have shared with you my background, community experience and what “things” the CA Board and Staff need to be “looking into."
 
As our Developer begins planning their final and few remaining neighborhoods, we want to preserve the lifestyle and features that we moved here to enjoy by remaining physically and fiscally secure. 
 
I believe some of the matters we should give consideration before transition would include:
 
 - Assess existing amenities and facilities for enhancements. A few examples to assess would be irrigation water back up supply, car and cart parking, cart path links, existing restroom expansions, additional park benches, select building upgrades, walking path refurbishment and signage upgrades.
 
 - Assure our amenities, services, facilities, and CA staff continue to be operated, maintained, and funded for best-in-class standards.
 
 - Appropriately fund reserve, working capital and capital asset funds.
 
- Assure our fire wise, emergency management, wildlife and waterways maintenance programs are adequately funded, equipped and deployed.
 
 - Assure City Fire, Police and Emergency services focus and provide for our size and age-related needs.
 
I am familiar with most of these matters and have strong working relationships with the CA staff, advisory committees, the NRO, City and County representatives, and our Developer. These relationships allow me to freely discuss issues, concerns, and develop an understanding of a situation, its perspectives, and form reasonable solutions. 
 
You elect Board members to make CA decisions on your behalf. If re-elected, I will continue to, “always do my best to make informed decisions and take responsible actions that are in the best interests of our community now and for its future.”
 
Thank you for your consideration during this campaign. I would appreciate your vote and support.

Transition is looming in the not so distant future. It will be one of the most important issues confronting us. Sun City Texas is a special place and we need to plan to make absolutely sure that it stays that way after the
developer leaves us.
 
There has been some work done in the past but we need to review that work and make sure that it is current and relevant. There will be much more work to be done.
 
The Board will need to assemble a Transition Taskforce of our brightest and most experienced residents to help guide the Board through this process. This must be a high priority and we must start this process soon. Three to six years will go by fast.
 
We will need to make sure our advisory committees are filled with our best-qualified people and that they are selected in an impartial process. It is everyone’s responsibility to step up and volunteer his or her special talents. A few hours a month is not much of a price to pay to keep our little bubble in tact. We need your participation.
 
It is possible that new committees that must be formed and maybe some of the existing ones altered or transformed to better meet our changing needs. We do not want this to be a “learn as you go process”. The more preparation we do on the front end the better for all of us. There will be bumps in the road and difficult decisions to be made by the Board.
 
I have served on various CA committees for 10 years and also as a Neighborhood Representative. Vote for me to allow me to use my extensive knowledge and experience I have gained relating to Sun City Texas to help prepare us for this most important period.
