NEW BUSINESS
- Consider and Vote on Revision to Pool Tag Policy – Included in the Board packets was an email from Dave Ellis addressing an alternative approach to the current Pool Tag Policy. After thorough discussion, the Board agreed to revise the policy to allow a maximum of six tags per household, with one guest permitted per tag. Children under the age of 13 must be supervised by a parent or guardian but are not required to have a pool tag.
- Approval of the Third Amendment to the WSMA Collection Policy – Dave Ellis informed the Board that the current Collection Policy needed to be amended to reflect that the payment plan form requires a minimum deposit of 10%. The revised policy will clarify that the initial deposit for the payment plan must be at least 10% of the outstanding account balance. A motion was made, seconded, and carried to approve the amendment.
- Consider and Vote on Deed Restriction Enforcement Actions – Cindy B. presented the Enforcement Action Report to the Board. Following the review, the Board directed Crest Management to close one violation, refer account 2530212006 to the attorney for enforcement, and monitor one additional violation for further occurrences.
