We are in our second month of pool operations, and we trust you have appreciated the work behind daily furniture and pool cleaning, the orderliness of pool furniture, and sanitation efforts in the locker rooms. Given the water's clarity, you might notice the special attention paid to the pool's overall chemistry. Please take time to share any concerns or, possibly, thank pool stafffor the effort they make to ensure your family’s enjoyment of our facility. Over the past year, Amenities has incurred significant repair expenses at both the pool and the tennis/pickleball courts, many of which were anticipated in a Reserve Study. We will completely refinish our 17-year-old pool at the end of this season. Please remember that Amenities funds cannot be commingled with HOA or Sewer funds. We believe it is still the only large pool in the East Mountains. However, some non-resident juveniles, who understandably want to use a pool int he summer, are arriving in small groups with an Amenities cardholder. Admittedly, these visitors are usually very polite, but occasionally we see displays of typical adolescent energy that require oversight by pool staff, which we usually don’t provide. If it appears we must pay for pool attendants to control guest behavior, Amenities dues may rise. There have been complaints, yet the Amenities Rules clearly state guidelines for guests (see attached AmenitiesRules: page 1, item 6), visitation frequency, and “access card sharing.” Please help us enforce the limited non-resident visitation guidelines to enhance the pool experience for our residents.

Below are some important pool guidelines:

*There are no lifeguards on duty. Children under 14 must be supervised by an adult in the pool. Running is not allowed on the pool deck – use the grass area as a track. Please instruct children to keep the locker rooms clean and the mirrors dry. 
*We expect a normal monsoon season. If you hear or see lightning, or if a staff member asks you to lea

From a Resident:

I’m just writing with a neighborly request.

While I’m grateful for neighbors picking up their dog poop in bags while walking their dogs, and I’m fine with them throwing the bags in my trash bin BEFORE garbage pickup, throwing dog poop bags into an EMPTY trash bin means it will sit in there for a week.  It has happened at least three times.

I'm grateful for the efforts to pick it up!  Just not a fan of old poop sitting in the soon-to-be heat for a week.

Also, several residents have contacted me about the buildup of dog poop NOT being picked up on roads throughout Paa-Ko. Please be considerate of your neighbors:  bag your dogs' poop and take it home to put in your own trash bin. 

Thanks!!
