SECRETARY REPORT:  Tom Becker read a copy of the minutes from the previous meeting held on October 10th, the new drainage pipe around the Challenger Clubhouse is working well.  There is more drainage pipe to be done.  The Challenger pool needs repair on the coating again.  Tom will get in touch with the people that did the work and get it taken care of.  Both clubhouses had leaks during the last heavy rain we had.  Would like to bring in an Engineer to inspect both roofs and see what is needed to correct the situation.

Rules and Regulations:  Gary Mohler reported that the park in all looks good.  The house at 165 Jackson has been cleaned up.  The county gave us permission to do this. We  are almost there with the new version of the Rules and Regulations. Karen and  I will be meeting with the attorney and discuss what needs to be done now.  A specific window of time for the community to vote on them once it is ready, so please come to the HOA meeting to cast your vote.  We are hoping that just changes can be made without having to reprint the whole thing.

 

 

 

 

 

CERTS:  Dick Hamilton is hoping to have more people join Certs.  They meet at 6:30 PM at the Blvd. clubhouse.  For more information please get in touch with Dick Hamilton.

CAPS:  Karen Grant reported that Marcia Rockinson, Committee Chairperson, said that the police were at the last meeting and that they are again having problems with Bimini Bay, which is the area next door to us on the other side of the wall.  There are people from Bimini Bay jumping the wall and coming into the park.  Please make sure if you live along there that you lock your doors and lock up your items.

Presidents Report:  Karen Grant said that LuAnn Debosz has taken over the Webpage for us.  This is a big undertaking so please be patient.  Tax appointments can be made on the computer now.  You must make an appointment to get your taxes done. Starting February 2, 2022, you can use the following website for appointments:    Poloparktaxaid.com.  Dog station was moved a while ago, however, there are people still walking their dogs in the Veteran’s Memorial area and around the Blvd. Clubhouse.  They are not picking up after their pets.  It is left there for someone to step in or smell.  PLEASE, take your dogs up to the park and PLEASE pick up after them.

165 Jackson Park will be going up for auction possibly next month.  We will be notified as there are several people interested in this property.

Meals on Wheels is now available in the park.  Also, our own food pantry which is run by Linda Fern and Lynda Poteracki.  If anyone knows of anyone that is in need of this service  please get in touch with either Linda Fern or Lynda Poteracki for information.  Ken Debosz is selling raffle tickets for $20.  The winners will receive a full year of HOA dues paid.  There will be two winners.

Charlie Pierson said they will be having three horseshoe tournaments coming up.  The first on will be on 12/17/21 and then in January and March.  Anyone wanting to help out would be appreciated.

Jerry Braden said the “winter games” will be played.  The schedule should be in the newsletter this next month. 

Karen Grant was questioned about an audit again.  She said this would be asked about when she meets with the attorney on Monday and that she will come back with the information after the meeting with the attorney.

Karen made a motion to adjourn the meeting.  This was second by Tom Becker and meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully Submitted,
