We have a new Pool monitor starting tomorrow. Her name is Shawn and she will be working the second shift (afternoon to closing time). Tiffany will open the pool for the morning shift.
Let’s remember to follow the pool monitor’s instructions so you don’t have to leave the pool or get banned for the rest of the season.
We are still having problems with people parking in the Fire Lane. Yesterday, someone had a party and many of their guests decided to park in the Fire Lane, when there was plenty of parking available in front of the Office but they were apparently too tired to walk a short distance. A number of cars were parked on both sides of the Fire Lane and several tow trucks were called, resulting in a few cars being towed; others were only released after the owner paid a “drop fee” of about $130.00. The full tow charge is around $300.00.
Excalibur Towing has stepped up random patrols throughout the subdivision and is closely monitoring things. If you park your vehicle in our Fire Lanes, you do so at your own risk and at your own expense.
The City’s Municipal Code states:
No person shall park, stop or leave standing any non-emergency vehicle, either attended or unattended, within any portion of the fire lane.
Unless you fit into one of the following three conditions, you are NOT an emergency vehicle and will be towed at your expense:
a. Vehicles assigned to the fire department that are engaged in emergency activities.
b. Police department or other law enforcement vehicles on official business.
c. Ambulance vehicles on emergency calls.
Anyone arguing with a pool monitor or any other GPMCHA employee about pool rules will be asked to leave the pool area. We will ban individuals who cause disturbances of any kind.
We will also be checking addresses and making sure that people who try to use the pool actually live here or are guests of a resident. We have had a lot of people using our pool who do not live here; this is a Private Pool paid for by HOA dues.
If you are allowing your guest(s) to use the pool, you need to come to the pool with them. There is a maximum of 4 guests allowed per property.
We sent another notice by mail to all property owners detailing the new Visitor Lot Parking Permit program and Rules. Only property owners can apply for a Permit and permits will be issued based on several requirements. Not all who apply will be approved for a permit and there are a limited number of permits available.
Here is a copy of the mailing sent out this week Parking July 2015
Anyone who continues to park in the Visitors Lots who are not actual visitors and who do not have a Parking Permit will risk being towed at their expense. The approximate cost of this is $300.00 per vehicle, per tow.
For the next few months, we will be using a subcontractor to pick up our trash. This will allow us to continue using our personnel to do necessary home repairs and finish the 2015 painting schedule as soon as possible.
This will start today, July 9th. Trash pickup days will not change, just who is picking up trash.
We will still be sending out warning to those who do not properly tie trash bags, put broken glass into trash bags and who do not close up boxes properly.
The pool will be closed tomorrow, July 7th, for maintenance and cleaning. We will reopen the pool on Wednesday.
The pool was closed at about 4:30PM today due to several issues. We will have things repaired and will be open tomorrow at 12 Noon.
We are looking for 1 or 2 adult pool monitors to work part-time at our pool. If you are interested, please fill out an application at the Office
