HOA Meeting Delayed by Lightning
Sort of. Lightning knocked power out to the usual meeting place so the board decided to cancel the meeting. The next meeting -- acts of nature permitting! -- will be July 26.
Trespassers at Our Pool & HOA Meeting Tonight
UPDATE: Lightning knocked out power to the church where we are scheduled to meet tonight. Right now, the plan is to meet outside then decide what to do -- postpone the meeting until Thursday or wait until next month to meet.
It's summer. Kids are hot, they're out of school and even ones who don't live here are cooling off in our pool. Beyond the trespassing when they jump the fence, they have also damaged the pool area and the cabana. What can we do?
That will be one discussion topic at our HOA meeting tonight. Sometimes the offenders are residents under 16 there without their parents, as required under community rules. Often they are kids who don't even live here but find our pool a convenient place to play.
We could buy a new, stronger, taller and harder-to-climb fence. We could hire security guards to monitor the pool. We could buy a video surveillance system. Those are some the ideas bandied about so far. What do you think?
It really is an important element in the community's quality of life, whether rule-abiding residents feel uncomfortable going to the pool because of rowdy kids. Or residents who live near the pool who can't sleep because people are there after dark, when the pool is supposed to be closed.
Also, should unit owners be allowed to install storm shutters? And some residents have reported problems with ants. The board will consider what measures beyond the usual pest control it needs to take.
The meeting happens 7 p.m. at the usual location -- River of Life Christian Church, 6605 Krycul Ave., Riverivew.
