[Nhhoa] Outside pool visitors

    Hi my name is Rachel Smith. I live at 13 Vineyard Way and I help my 
parents with a pool business.  Today me and my brothers went to the pool and 
tested the water.  (We do this always before entering water just as a 
precaution.)  Today after testing the water, we found there was no chlorine 
reading.  This really concerns me because I was told that the pool man had 
been there at least twice this morning and checked the chemicals. Also, I 
told my parents about the situation.  They placed a call to the boarded and 
as of yet have gotten no response.
    I recently read that if chemicals are not balanced many illnesses or 
diseases can be contracted.  Therefore, personally, I think before we worry 
about non-residents swimming in our pool, we need to focus on making sure 
the water is safe period.

One idea that the board is discussing is to replace the current code lock 
with a lock system that would require a card for entru and to strengthen the 
gate closer to ensure that it closes every time.  The only way in would be 
to have a card.

One card would be issued to each house and it would be up to the resident to 
coordinate the card usage.

This will not work though if people let unknown people into the pool area.

It is not overly expensive, but was not budgeted for this year.

Could everyone please give feedback regarding this idea?

Will it work?  Will you not let unauthorized people in?  What do you think 
about limiting the number of guests allowed?

Would you be willing for the board to approve using some reserve funds 
(approx $1000) to secure the pool or would you rather wait until another 
year to fund the project?

All feedback and any other ideas are greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem Saturday night, we ended up leaving after they 
wouldn't leave. The kids came in a van and tried to squeal the tires in the 
parking lot. I heard them say they are from whispering pines, they were very 
rude and obnoxious. What should we do?
