GOVERNMENTAL STRUCTURE
The
governmental structure of Laguna Woods, originally
called Leisure World®, an un-incorporated
section of Orange County, was incorporated
as a city in March 1999, and consists of a
City Council and Mayor chosen from within
the elected Council. The council functions
as most city governments do; contract for
police, fire and other public services and
administering city funds, etc. In addition,
the governmental structure at Leisure World®,
now called Laguna Woods Village, currently
includes three housing corporations and the
Golden Rain Foundation(GRF). Each owner in
Laguna Woods Village is a member of one housing
corporation and the GRF. The housing corporations
are responsible for those things directly
related to housing and the adjacent land.
The GRF is responsible for directing the operation
of all "community" facilities such
as the bus system, security, clubhouses, golf
courses, stables, lawn bowling, etc. Each
of the Corporations contracts with Professional
Community Management (PCM), a property management
firm to manage their respective area of responsibility.
The three Mutuals are as follows:
Cooperative: United Laguna Hills Mutual
6,323 memberships
Condominium: Third Laguna Hills Mutual 6,102
owners
Rossmoor Towers Laguna Hills Mutual Fifty 311
owners
Each
Mutual has a board of directors composed of residents
elected by popular ballot of their peers. The
Golden Rain Foundation is elected by the Directors
of the three mutuals to manage, control and run
the community facilities. In addition to the boards
of directors, some 26 advisory committees exist
to assist in the complex job of managing such
a large community.
