In February, 2008 your Board of Directors held a special meeting to discuss past issues with the pool and potential changes we could implement to make the swimming pool a more enjoyable place for all. About a dozen residents attended this meeting and offered many good suggestions to the Board. After serious consideration, the Board has decided to implement a couple of the changes that were suggested. The intent of this letter is to notify you of these changes.

 

One of the changes that will be implemented is the use of a pool pass that must be worn by every resident and guest using the pool. The pool pass will consist of a metal tag that looks similar to a military dog-tag. The pool pass must be visibly worn by every swimmer. The tag will come with a chain, but every resident can choose for themselves how he/she will wear the tag or attach the tag to their swimsuit. The only requirement is that the tag be visible.

 

In order to receive your pool passes, you must provide proof of residency and a photo ID. The proof of residency should include your name and address and be something like a water bill, electric bill, etc.

 

With the resident pool passes, you will be provided two (2) guest pool passes that will look very similar to the resident passes but will differ in color. Additional guest passes will be available for purchase for $25.00 each. If you choose not to purchase additional passes and you bring more than two guests, each additional guest will be charged $5.00 to swim.

 

Another change the Board is implementing is the use of a paid pool monitor. The pool monitor will be a uniformed guard assigned to the pool on specific days and hours. Starting Saturday May 3^rd, the pool monitor will be at the pool every Saturday and Sunday. When school is out for the summer, the pool monitor will be there every day of the week till the pool closes. The responsibilities of the pool monitor will include but not be limited to the following:

This coming season, enforcement of the pool rules is going to be taken more seriously. Every homeowner has a right to enjoy the pool without being harassed or intimidated by any other resident or guest. The Board is going to take a no tolerance stance this summer when issues arise at the pool. Those who violate the rules of the pool will be asked to leave and access to the common areas will be revoked. The common areas are considered private property and available only to residents of Parkwood Hill Estates. Any person within the common areas that does not have a legitimate right to be there is considered trespassing.

 

Your Board of Directors is asking all residents for their assistance in monitoring the pool to help eliminate the issues that we have had for the last two summers. I know that with your assistance, and the assistance of all residents within our HOA, we can make the pool a fun place to be for all families of our association. You, as a resident of Parkwood Hill Estates, have the right and the obligation to assist the Board in enforcing the pool rules. Should you ever feel threatened we advise that you call the non-emergency Police number at (817) 335-4222. Our neighborhood Police contact for our area is Officer Tonya Clapp. Ofc. Clapp can be reached at (817) 392-4690 should you ever need to voice a NON-HOA POLICE related issue.

 

Please feel free to contact any of your Board of Directors should you have any questions.

 

On behalf of the Board of Directors,
