THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS - Website

Mr. Nuzzo notified the board that he had received a written opinion from the Lawyer regarding use of anonymous message board postings.  We read the opinion which basically stated current laws did not prohibit anonymous postings. There was a long discussion surrounding the opinion between Mr. Rothwell and the board. It was cut-off and tabled for another time.

FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS - Bad Debt

We revisited the uncollectible Debt issue. This was accrued debt from the inception of the HOA. Debt from fines & fees due from owners that had moved away, after houses were foreclosed.

Mr Mendenhall had researched and found a couple of companies that would try to collect on the debt in return for 40%. After some discussion the board decided that would be the best way to go.

Mr. DaGama  made a motion to write off $1004.04 of the uncollectible debt, and further to have Mr. Mendenhall and Mr. Nuzzo turn that over to a collection agency. Ms Brethren seconded the motion, with board agreeing. Motion passed unanimously.

FIFTH  ORDER OF BUSINESS - Pool Safety & Rec Area

The board discussed recent issues regarding pool safety, where two teenagers under 14 almost had an incident. We discussed several measures including gating of the recreation area.

The CDD acting on the issue, had received price quotes for a PVC fence. Some residents protested that it would not be aesthetic along the front, and suggested a block wall similar to the side wall. It was decided that a committee should be formed and Mr. DaGama will ask for community input, and make suggestions for the wall design.

Ms Brethen would also address safety in the newsletter, asking residents to be aware of posted rules. Homes Owners and Residents are authorized to ask unaccompanied children under 14, and unaccompanied non-residents to leave the pool area.  

It was decided that the board would ask the CDD to post the CDD managers or CDD office contact information at pool site in case of incident..
