Dave - I just want to comment on the Board's decision to open the use swimming pool facility to non-Promontory Point Homeowners. I myself do not favor with this decision. First, our pool is not as big enough to accomodate other neighborhoods in peak season. Second, the $175 payment does not justify to use the facility with same full previleges as Promontory Point Homeowners simply because they are non member and they are not paying the same HOA dues.

I can imagine that in some days during peak season that the pool is so full a that legitimate Promontory homeowners cannot use the pool because it is occupied by a non-member. What I know is that Promontory Point facility is supposed to be exclusively used by Promontory Point homeowners only. I understand Scott's concerns regarding this, and I may suggest that -- decision such as these, involving person/s that is a non-Promontory homeowners to use our facility should be put into a vote so other homeowners can have a say not just a selected few.

Thanks for your comments. The Board, as I stated, will review this at the end of the swim season. To clarify your comments, (1) there is no provision for "exclusive use" of the pool by just Promontory Pointe neighborhood residents. We placed that wording on our signs to discourage unauthorized use of the pool. Obviously our homeowners get "priority" and we turn down numerous requests from other neighborhoods each year that want to use our pool. This test is part of a study to investigate the future possibility (very far in the future) to go to a self-sustaining pool operation.

Second, the pool capacity of 107 has never been exceeded, and only slightly over 200 of our homeowners activated pool cards this year (less than 30 %). I also do not think that 10 homeowners in Wilderness Pointe are going to overcrowd us. It is highly unlikely that everyone with a card will go to the pool at the same time.

Also, it is impractical to put every decision to a "vote" of the homeowners. Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws, and our DCC&R's give the Board  the legal authority and the Board  is empowered to manage the day to day affairs of the HOA and to make decisions such as this, and specify those particular instances when a vote of the homeowners is required. All of us are homeowners out here just as you, we volunteer or time and energies to serve the HOA, and we make decisions on what we feel is in the hOA's and our homeowners' best interests (and obviously we won't ever please everyone all of the time).
