Klahanie has always been a community that strives for continuous improvement, whether it’s through maintaining our parks, preserving our forests, or enhancing our shared facilities. With the growing needs of our residents, the Board of Directors has been exploring solutions to modernize and expand Klahanie’s infrastructure in a way that is both practical and financially responsible. As part of this effort, the board has worked closely with committees, architects, and real estate professionals to identify the best path forward.
At the upcoming meeting on December 17th, the Board will make a pivotal decision that could shape the future of Klahanie. This decision revolves around taking the next step in addressing the replacement of our office and considering the timing and scope of potentially expanding the Mountainview Pool complex. Below are the key details of what the board will be voting on and what it means for the community.
What will the Board of Directors be voting on during the 12/17 meeting?
The Klahanie Board of Directors continues to work toward offering the community a practical and financially responsible solution related to our need to address the replacement of our office and consider the timing of replacing and possibly expanding our Mountainview Pool complex.
Under the leadership of our current board, the previous several boards, the Building and Special Projects Committee, the Finance and Operations Committee, Urbal Architecture, and Gary Lin (Lineage Real Estate, L.L.C.), we are at the point where current board action is necessary to continue to move this process forward. We need more definitive information to make the best decisions about this significant project for the future of Klahanie.
To this end, on Tuesday, December 17th, the Board will be voting on whether to take the next step toward this goal. This next step would involve allocating $310,000 of the already approved 2025 Reserve study budget funds for the development of plans and building-related studies for the board’s further consideration.
With the allocation of these budgeted funds, the Klahanie Board of Directors will get the information needed to determine the project’s scope, budget, and timelines. This will equip the board to make a decision about whether or not to move forward to the next phase of this project development, which includes preparing for applications for construction permits to the city and state. The community will also have more time to ask questions and get more specific answers.
What Does This Mean for the Community?
This upcoming vote is a critical step in ensuring the board has the resources and information necessary to make informed decisions on a project of this scale. With the potential replacement of Klahanie’s office and the expansion of the Mountainview Pool complex, the goal is to meet the community’s needs both now and in the future. By approving the allocation of these funds, the board can continue its due diligence in exploring the best options for Klahanie’s development.
The collaborative work between the board, committees, and expert partners has brought us to this pivotal point. The decision to move forward with planning and studies ensures that all aspects of the project are thoroughly considered, from financial implications to long-term community benefits.
What Happens Next?
Should the board approve the allocation of funds, several key actions will follow:
Detailed plans will be developed to provide more clarity on project costs.
The scope of the project will be further defined, giving the board and community a clearer understanding of what to expect.
A timeline for potential construction phases will be established.
The board will use this information to decide whether to proceed.
This process is designed to prioritize transparency and community engagement. Residents will have additional opportunities to learn about the project, ask questions, and provide feedback as details emerge.
Why Is This Important?
Investing in Klahanie’s infrastructure is about more than just replacing outdated facilities—it’s about enhancing the quality of life for all residents. A modernized office and improved pool complex will not only meet current needs but also serve as valuable assets for future generations. These improvements reflect Klahanie’s commitment to maintaining its status as a vibrant and thriving community.
The December 17th meeting is an opportunity for the board to take a significant step forward in this process, ensuring that decisions are made with the best possible information and with the community’s best interests at heart. We encourage all residents to stay informed and engaged as this project develops.
