Defect Remediation Project West Campus Point March 13, 2007
What Is West Campus Point? • 65 units • Built in 1986 • Affordable housing for faculty • 71 ladder faculty members (9% of total) • Very successful in recruiting and retaining faculty • Managed by WCP Homeowners Association
WCP Homeowners Association • Governed by Board of Directors elected annually • Members usually serve 2 – 3 years • Manages property with assistance from Town 'N Country Property Management • Monthly financial reports and Board meetings • Regular maintenance “walk-arounds”
WCP Long-term Financial Planning • Comply with California law governing homeowners associations • Annual budgeting and auditing for both short-term and long-term maintenance • Long-term cost estimates derived from professional “reserve studies” • every 2 – 3 years • Analyze common infrastructure lifetime maintenance and replacement costs • Fully fund recommendations • Some issues have transcended scope of any HOA
Additional Issues • Soil grading (flooding) • Communication between WCP and University • Cost recovery mechanism • Valuation of units
Guiding Principles • WCP Board needs to be an equal partner with University in shaping and approving all aspects of the solution • No one wants to go through this #$#%&! again!
Action Items • Regular operational meetings • Access to senior administrators • Timetable • Periodic high-level progress reviews

Why Reexamine the WCP “Index” for Appreciation of Units over Time? • To restore original intent of both the University and faculty • To increase the chances that WCP owners would be able to move out, thus freeing the homes for future recruits. • To create a common standard to apply across all UCSB faculty housing owners at WCP, North Campus, etc. based on current published economic information.
