<DIV>We don't use the pool alot but I am in favor of putting in a system that would restrict non residents. I think it would be money well spent.</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">-------------- Original message from treasurer@nhhoa.org: -------------- <BR><BR><BR>> One idea that the board is discussing is to replace the current code lock with a <BR>> lock system that would require a card for entru and to strengthen the gate <BR>> closer to ensure that it closes every time. The only way in would be to have a <BR>> card. <BR>> <BR>> One card would be issued to each house and it would be up to the resident to <BR>> coordinate the card usage. <BR>> <BR>> This will not work though if people let unknown people into the pool area. <BR>> <BR>> It is not overly expensive, but was not budgeted for this year. <BR>> <BR>> Could everyone please give feedback regarding this idea? <BR>> <BR>> Will it work? Will you not let unauthorized people in? What do you think about <BR>> limiting the number of guests allowed? <BR>> <BR>> Would
you be willing for the board to approve using some reserve funds (approx <BR>> $1000) to secure the pool or would you rather wait until another year to fund <BR>> the project? <BR>> <BR>> All feedback and any other ideas are greatly appreciated. <BR>> <BR>> Roger Hackler <BR>> Treasurer <BR>> Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T <BR>> <BR>> -----Original Message----- <BR>> From: Amanda Brown <MANDY22726@YAHOO.COM><BR>> <BR>> Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2008 16:15:57 <BR>> To:North Hampton Homeowners Association <NHHOA@NHHOA.ORG><BR>> Subject: Re: [Nhhoa] Outside pool visitors <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> I had the same problem Saturday night, we ended up leaving after they wouldn't <BR>> leave.
