Changing Gears

Well it seems that we have gotten passed the attacks, and I have stated that I felt that this is a good medium to communicate. So here I go.

 

The Pool:

 

I was in favor of the proposed card system especially if it will save the association over $4K. As you have seen if you read my blog post I have changed my mind on it. It sounded like it has been tried and failed in the past and some are reluctant to go back. How about a part time pool monitor? One who works after 4pm on Friday, normal hours Saturday and Sunday, while trouble can happen anytime I think you would agree that the most likely trouble would come on the weekends when most people are present. Also during the week we have maintenance already on the property. They can monitor what is going on while they are attending to their other responsibilities. This should prevent them from being called out on the weekend to unclog a toilet or clean up messes. I have spent many weeks up there in the summer and the pool seems extremely low key on M, W, and TH. Has this idea been explored? The return on investment of the card system won’t be realized as quickly but by the second year I think we would see some real savings. I would like to hear comments, pro or con.

 

Not the most important issue in 7 Bays but probably the least polarizing.

 

Have a great Weekend.

Sean,
That's a great idea, a weekend monitor. We agree that during the week we probably don't need one. We might want to consider a monitor on holidays also. Thanks for the positive ideas.

Sean, I might be wrong but I do believe there are state laws for a public pool, such as requiring showers. I know that in the past we have had some that refused until they were told they could not swim. I would also be concerned on the proper handling of the pool if a child had a accident. A person getting E-coli is not something I would want to see happen. Our family doesn't use the pool,so what ever is decided will not make a difference to us, but just thought I would mentioned some concerns I would have if they did.

Can someone please explain how the card system saves us money and why we need a pool monitor?
