Mary said we will discuss with management tomorrow at our meeting.
Pool – How can we better keep non-residents out?:
Several ideas were brought up
Very difficult to come up with a viable solution.
If someone is threatening, call 911.
If someone is acting inappropriately, contact the office.
Replace phone in Pool/AC area and provide Defibrillator by Pool:
Defibrillators require proper training to use.
It was suggested that if management is not willing to put a Defibrillator in the pool, they could possibly compromise and put the phone back in.
How can we help those who cannot keep up with keeping their property/car ports in proper order?:
If someone is unable to do their lawn, power wash their house, etc., please check with the Benevolent Fund.
Houses for sale by Strawberry Ridge are not keeping up property:
