POOL'S CLOSED!
Okay so it's not closed... at least not at the moment. This is an email that was sent out to everyone in my neighborhood about proper use of our Pool/Aquatic Center. Keep in mind, this is a brand new community - all new houses (some worth upwards of 350k+) and in a really good part of town (aka out in the middle of nowhere not by the city and no where near a bus stop). In other words... we don't live in the ghetto - but we still have some WEIRD SHIT happen here!!! Hahaha! Seriously! Read some of the things that HAVE happened at the pool recently! We get emails like this all the time, but most the time it's about kids pooping in the pool or people letting too many of their friends in. Uuuuh, yeah there are quite a few more things this time around, and they are all equally as awesome.
Dear Homeowners:
The Aquatic Center at ****** is a beautiful amenity. It is a place that fosters the opportunity to meet new neighbors and grow friendships all in an environment of fun water activities. In many instances, home buyers made their final decision to purchase in the community based on the availability of the Aquatic Center and all the fun-filled opportunities it provided.
Unfortunately, several situations have recently occurred at the Aquatic Center that are of concern to the Board of Directors, the management company and most importantly witnessing community members. (....) Recent examples of misuse include and are not limited to the following:
· Alcohol – this is a chronic problem. Please note that the Pool Rules explicitly indicate that no alcohol is allowed at the Aquatic Center. Homeowners should report public drinking to the police.
· Bikes/Skateboards in the Pool/Splash Pad Area – The Pool Rules prohibit these items from being in the pool/splash pad area. There are bike racks in front of the entrance.
· Large Parties – homeowners are inviting upwards of 20 - 30 guests to use the pool facility. The intent was for the facility to support fun for families and guest where the guests were limited in number. This ensures the use of the Aquatic Center by all.
· Use of Pool for a Baptism – The use of the Aquatic Center for large groups and religious functions is strictly prohibited.
· Fireworks at the Pool – The Community Association prohibits setting off fireworks in its common areas which includes the Aquatic Center and all community parks and greenbelts.
· Rough Play - a report of watermelon tossing in the swimming pool. Also, of riding bicycles off of the deck into the water.
· Leaving Trash on Deck Areas and in Restrooms – Community members and their guests are expected to clean-up after themselves. Increase trash left in the pool area not only increases the monthly fees charged by the cleaning company but also provides for the opportunity for trash to blow about the community.
· Unsupervised children defecating in the Pool and on the Restroom Floors – The Health Department REQUIRES that the pool be closed for 24-hours when such an incident occurs in the pool. In addition, there is an additional charge by the cleaning company to clean up such deliberate vandalism of the restrooms. Both incidents not only inconvenience those wishing to use the facility but also have the potential to cause increased assessments to ALL owners within the community.
· Misuse of the BBQ Area – A witness observed someone lighting the BBQ grill with WD40.
· Loud Music – The Pool Rules require that music be played at a reasonable level. There was one report of a family that brought in live music.
· The Windows of the Multi-Purpose Room Have Been Severely Scratched – They will be expensive to replace.
· Underage Children at the Facility without their Parent’s Supervision – Strictly prohibited by the Pool Rules and Regulations and in accordance with the Community’s General Liability Insurance requirements.
· Residents from Other Communities being let in to the Facility - They simply wait in the parking lot until someone (usually children) let them in. The Aquatic Center is for the strict use of community members and their invited guests. Others are not allowed to use the facility. Teens are seen climbing over the fence.
· Carving the Rubber Coating on the Picnic Tables with Sharp Objects – Such vandalism costs each owner in the form of repair and aesthetic eye sore.
Homeowners are encouraged to advise Management of the names of residents that are in violation of the Pool Rules or cause damage to the facility so that proper follow-up can be done. Residents are also encouraged to call the Police when they see trespassing or illegal activity such as public drinking. When Management receives a report of a violation of any of the Community Rules, the Association will use all means available and as outlined in the CC&RS, Bylaws and Rules and Regulations which include but are not limited to suspending the card access key for the offending homeowner and imposing fines.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

My commentary:
I get emails about the damn pool every couple of weeks, and MOST of them are worded similarly, telling people to stop breaking the rules and such. The other emails I get from my HOA are about the silly "social committee" that organizes bbq's on the weekends at "2pm SHARP!!!1". Oh, and did I mention that our HOA doesn't even consist of real homeowners? It's just a management group in another state, and the closest HOA "branch office" is over 30 miles away. No wonder nobody cares, eh?
O-KAY!!
