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

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

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.

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.

Anyone wanting to help out would be appreciated.

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.
