Rules & Regulations report – accepted concerns regarding solicitation, make person aware no solicitation allowed, regarding new homeowners have knowledge the park is 55+. Welcome package currently provided. New owners will be meeting and signing for rules & regs. Need new Chair for Welcome committee. When new chair is determined, a form letter will be drawn up for signatures and orientation outline finalized for new residents. Concern – knowledge to homeowners prior to purchase. HOA has no bearing/standing until official homeowner. Owner can sign/acknowledge at closing, when check written. Real Estate law, anyone can buy property, however, must be over 55 to live in our community. Some agents give buyers information prior to closing, excellent job by realtor, but not required. Concern that 80% must be over 55, per law, there are exceptions. Letters regarding property upkeep and age concerns, owners that rent list being drawn up, new form (Jim Rose created) requests owners information and renters information.

Architectural Review report – accepted Tony is the arbitrator for ARC and homeowner. Thanks Rules and Regs and ARC committees for their hard work.

CAPS information reported by Karen Golf cart drivers must be 16 years of age to drive on County roads, please obey speed limits, stop signs and signal at turns.

CERTS report – accepted CERTS have been re-invented, more plan to train in Fall. Jeff Polston to be CERTS liaison approved. Jeff will be certified for CERTS. Red Cross replaced smoke alarms that members signed up to receive. Call Dick Hamilton for smoke detectors if one not received. Will do smoke detectors again in the Fall.

Pools report - needs scrubbies for pool tile cleanings, have had some patches worked. Coating of pools to be redone, timeframe undetermined. Concern 3 patches fixed, found more will be fixed by Bruce. Electronic lock will be forthcoming. Pool locking sign up sheet for volunteers so it doesn’t fall on one person. Response – work order placed in January, Richard did install BCH pool locks. Concern how often do we need to patch pool, when can pool be resurfaced. Reserves are available to fix pool without patch, must shut down pool to do it. Salt water pool is it cost prohibitive?
