I just sent a reminder, but the meeting moved to June 4 due to Board
members being on vacation or having work conflicts.
I think this process could move a lot faster if community members could
look into new equipment options (commercial) and pool furniture. Kyle our
CMA Manager can get us quotes, but if we want to move faster than a crawl,
I think any additional research would be helpful.
Send our way!

Hi Jackie,
Your comment is about the gym equipment is exactly why I decided to
address this publicly. Similar to the pool furniture, why are we holding
onto inoperative equipment? To fool potential buyers? So we can take
inaction and *consider* repairing them or selling them? Take one action
or another but make a decision.
Since purchasing my home here in August of last year, I have sat back and
tried to get a feel for how things run around here. What I have learned
since that time is that nothing “runs” everything crawls. Based on
location and square footage, this property is an unbelievable value.
However, we are failing to invest in the quality of our community and
investment capital.
This is not directed exclusively to the HOA board – five volunteers cannot
manage the full time responsibilities of managing a property of over 100
residences. We all have share in the responsibility to respect our
investment and our neighbors. This goes beyond just complaining - it means
taking some action. I am thankful and grateful to the HOA board members
for the time committed to this community, but I am absolutely tired of the
"we don't have enough time" excuse. You have been *talking* about
supporting committees (Finance, Communications, Grounds/Beautification) for
7 months. If you are frustrated that you are not getting enough help from
the community, why are you delaying the creation of a tool that you can use
to help make your jobs easier?
The next meeting is this upcoming Monday (2nd Monday of every Odd numbered
month). Let's get this done.
Regards,
Stephen Perry

Hello Neighbors,
Not 100% certain, as I am not a pool chair expert, but if chair frames
are still in good shape a more cost efficient option is to reupholster the
existing chairs.
This has been an option I’ve seen executed in the past.

I do remember that the previous Board purchased some new lounge chairs
last summer. (I only remember because I was disappointed they were the same
beige and that we didn’t replace all of them!) I agree it’d be a great idea
to buy more now. I’ll ask that we add this to the June agenda. I’m also all
for replacing the broken gym equipment ASAP.
In this Board’s defense (which includes me 😬), three of us weren’t on it
until end of last summer and honestly didn’t know what we could and could
not do. Parking was the first issue we tackled, and pool furniture
unfortunately fell through the cracks, among other things.
All that to say, thanks Stephen for unpacking the chairs and bringing all
of these good points up! I hope we can make some quick decisions and enjoy
the sun from some new chairs soon.

I agree with everything you are saying. I have been here for six years
and we have never purchased new furniture in that time although it has been
greatly needed. I would love to see us do that this year and there is no
reason why we should not have the funds readily available to do so.
Obviously, at the end of summer would’ve been the most ideal time but I
would imagine that CMA has wholesale purchase options for us.

Hello,
This evening I volunteered myself to unpack and arrange the pool
furniture.
I was very disappointed to find that *SEVEN of the lounge chairs were
ruined with dry-rot *and *FOUR of the normal chairs were missing* (1 per
table).
As a recent property buyer, this is another example where I have more
questions than answers -
- Why did we store broken chairs all winter?
- If we were going to repair them, why are they not repaired?
- If we were going to throw them away, why did we not do it when a
dumpster was 100 feet away? (two opportunities in the last 8 months)
- Why did we not purchase new pool furniture at the end of last
season when it is on sale and least expensive?
Here is the inventory of the pool furniture:
- 10 Lounge Chairs
- 12 Chairs
- 4 Tables
- ? Table Umbrellas
Thanks,
Stephen Perry

The pool has been resurfaced and is now open.
I took a look yesterday, and most of the furniture is stacked in the
corner. We could use some volunteers to arrange the furniture.
Also, we're aware that the thermostat in the clubhouse is blank.
Perhaps it needs new batteries or a breaker has been tripped. The issue
will be addressed this week.
Thanks,
Alex
