Town Hall Notes

For other people who, like me, were unable to attend the latest Town Hall meeting, Ed and Dee were kind enough to keep minutes for us.  

MINUTES FOR  11/12/11 TOWN HALL MEETING

The Meeting started at 10am with approximately 70 in attendance.

Brighthouse  with discussion of closed circuit This will be active on December lst on either Channel 95 or 96.  If   you have problems, call Brighthouse.

2.    Discussion on the condition of the medical equipment in the office, and the defibrillator and how to use it. This unit is automatically checked and is OK..instructions are verbal when opening.

3.    DNR forms:  This is the form you must fill out re:  resucitating.. do you   

                        Want to be helped or not…office will supply and laminate for

                         You. 

4.     Is the sign out front on the “to do list”?

         Dawn has much planned to beautify the park. Entrance sign included.

5.    Re-instate the maintenance of the uniforms.

          The board will look into this.

6.    With Richard not being replaced – reverse pay cut.

           There was no pay cut..just no increase.  Board will look into this.

7.    No town hall meeting for December.  There will be a special board meeting on the budget only.

OTHER ITEMS TALKED ABOUT, NOT ON THE AGENDA

 The parking problem will be completely re-visited.

Rules that cannot be enforced will probably be dropped, except speeding?

There are now 5 openings for the board.

Bi-fold walls for the hall…..opinion of the majority was NO.

Blvd 3 near Canal, eyesore home…being investigated.

Capital Improvements possible…picnic tables  on Pelican Point, new pool furniture….re-web some present pool furniture…add horseshoe pits where unused shuffleboard courts are…also add bocce ball court?

Website needs to be updated periodically. 

Note: There were two website administrators prior to this summer. Board Minutes and activity schedules, houses for sale, etc. were all up to date. The chief web administrator (Cheri) was fired by the board. The other web administrator (me) stopped updating the site from that moment on. This community needs tech savvy residents for Communications. Any volunteers out there?

PS Watch out for flying horseshoes....

Pools Repairs Are (Almost) Done!

 The pool repairs are almost finished!

Water is being pumped into the empty white shell at this very minute. The pool received a new white surface, new stairs, and new tile trim. It looks beautiful, and very very clean. Two handrails will go on tonight.

The reconditioned tables look almost new, and await placement on the deck area. It sure will be a treat to dip our toes into the water!
