News Pool Facility Update – by Michelle
Nelson Thank you to all residents
for helping keep our pool a safe/clean/undamaged place to enjoy. Since the letter was sent out about pool
vandalism, there has been a tremendous decrease in the number of incidents at
the pool facility. We would like to
thank the residents/parents for this and really appreciate your help. Please continue to remind your children of
the rules and ask that they follow them.
At our last quarterly HOA meeting in June, the issue of pool security
was a major topic. The overall
reaction from the homeowners in attendance was that we want to react, but not
overreact. As a result we have installed
security lights (which are on a timer as well as a motion detector) and
changed the pool closing hours to 09:00PM instead of 10:00PM. We have ordered new signs that will reflect
the new time change. One new problem that we
have had this summer pertains to swim lessons. While it is within the rules to have a
non-Weatherstone swim instructor provide a lesson to a resident's child, we
ask that you follow the general rules listed below for the consideration and
safety of others in our community:
Next season, all residents
wishing to have a private swimming lesson in the pool will be required to
fill out a form complying with these rules and submit it to the management
company, who will then approve the lesson.
This is to ensure that lessons do not interfere with routine pool
activity and that instructors are not allowed to teach multiple lessons
back-to-back. We appreciate your compliance with these new guidelines. Please feel free to contact our management
company with any questions or attend our next HOA meeting in September. The pool will close for the
season on Sunday, September 12th at 09:00PM - the weekend following Labor Day.
Update from the Treasurer – by Kevin
McAllister Enclosed
with this newsletter are the financial statements for the period ending July
31, 2004.
During the
second quarter, the financial activity increased, as you would expect for all
of our outdoor activities and grounds maintenance. Our monthly reserve transfer is going as
planned and our cash reserves are increasing as well. As of June 30, 2004, our year-to-date actual
demonstrates the board’s focus to stay on track with its expenses. In addition, you will notice we are
currently under budget for the year.
Homeowners Dues
Since the
last newsletter in May our delinquent homeowner dues have improved
slightly. For those who are
delinquent, the board has instructed our management company to take whatever
appropriate measures are needed to collect on all accounts. If you are unsure of your account status at
this time, please feel free to contact CMS (our management company) at
720-377-0100.
Please feel
free to contact me at (303) 573-8492 x190 or kevin@weatherstone.us with any
questions or concerns.
