Operations Board - Q&A

The Operations Board is made up of five neighborhood members who have been elected to work with NCS to operate and maintain the community center. The Operation Board works with NCS to make maintenance requests; building upgrades and renovations; sets rental fees and priority use for the community Center. The Operation Board also works with NCS to maintain financial solvency of the Community Center.

The Operations Board is comprised of a Chair, Vice-Chair/Secretary, Community Liaison, and two at-large members. All members will serve in their Operations Board positions without compensation.

The Burgundy Village Community Center Operations Board's Articles of Operation (bylaws) were revised on Sept. 25, 2023. View full bylaws.

The Burgundy Village Community Center is partially funded by a special tax assessment by homeowners in Burgundy Village as well as by rental fees. The Operation Board considers the needs of the community in determining priority use for the center and in setting rental fees. BVCC offers community members rentals to celebrate birthdays, wedding anniversaries, host family reunions, as well as host exercise classes, religious services and is available upon request and approval, rent-free for community events. 

The Operations Board members are elected for a 3-year term. The Operation Board meets three or four times a year. In between these meetings, the Operations Board typically communicates and reviews information over email, as needed. 

This is a wonderful way to give back directly to your neighborhood and community so everyone can enjoy the Community Center. Good financial management of the Community Center also helps keep the special tax assessment from increasing too much. 

Anyone 18 years of age or older who owns property and resides within Local District 1A Franconia is eligible to become a candidate for appointment to the Operations Board. Local District 1A Franconia is known as the Burgundy Village Community, which includes the subdivisions of Burgundy Village, Somerville Hill and Burgundy Manor.

Submit applications by email, mail or in person. NCS partners with the League of Women Voters to compile ballots and administer the election to residents of Local District 1A.
