Happy Monday everyone,
Here were are once again back in the ring dispelling untruths, gossip and misinformation by those unaware of who or what Hidden Valley Lakes Subdivision is about.
Many don’t know, or are unaware, that we are a subdivision governed by a booklet of Trust Indentures, Restrictive Covenants, Charter & By Laws along with Hidden Valley Lakes Corporation procedures, rules and regulation’s. These are established for the sole purpose of protecting, maintaining, restricting and enforcing rules so every potential and actual property owner knows ahead of time what is expected. That’s why it’s SO important to know and review them before committing to move in. This protects all involved, the corporation as well as the property owners.
With that said, let’s jump right in to this week’s True vs. False.
Question - Is “meany” Rachel’s rules denying people pool access?
FALSE - Rachel was NOT the one to choose who is prohibited from using the pool, usage of bathhouses, obtaining water or attending any activity function at Hidden Valley Lakes.
TRUE - On May 26th, 2012, 95%……..that’s NINETY FIVE PERCENT of represented, good standing paid property owners VOTED to pass this amendment. Those who PAY chose who is ALLOWED to USE Hvl Trustees amenities. This is the exact criteria your HVL Trustee Board represents and adheres too when we deny access to ANY and ALL of these areas and we will NOT for one second back step it nor apologize for it.
** It will be enforced to the fullest degree ahead.
This is why we continue to ask people to pay, adhere to rules/regulations and respectfully abide in good standing within the community towards an effort of unity and usage.
YOU and YOU ALONE hold the power to use these amenities based on YOUR actions.
Question - Are “children” being denied access to the pool?
FALSE - We continue to have children attend the pool along with a supervised adult. Within the last week, our daily logs show in excess of 30 kiddos having a blast. Their parents, caregivers or property owners are PAID IN FULL and therefore eligible to attend.
TRUE - Some children are NOT allowed to access the pool due to their actions or that of their UNPAID parents or caregiver. This makes us all sad but unfortunately children often pay the price for adult actions.
Question - Is Bathhouse 1 closed due to vindictiveness?
FALSE - According to State Law, only 1 bathhouse is REQUIRED to be open and that is ONLY if the pool is open. Aside from that, it is NOT required.
TRUE - We are moving towards the direction of having 3 of them open 24/7 but ONLY to good standing, paid in full property owners exactly like the property owners required when the 95% voted it in.
** We have begun the implementation of this so expect it.
Those who PAY are tired of carrying the weight of those who don’t.
Question - Why are the pool hours reduced, is this more of Rachel’s attempts to control us?
FALSE - No. This is a ridiculous notion. Those who know the supervision of the day to day understand that we lack responsible people who can handle the complexities of HVL. We would love to have the pool open everyday or even at night sometimes but it isn’t feasible for a variety of reasons. Maintenance, cleaning, safety and understaffing - all are a continual struggle we have. We ask for your understanding as we do our best to keep you updated and open as much as possible.
TRUE - Your pool manager, Tammy White, has gone to great lengths to coordinate, hire and be overall caretaker of the pool, even volunteering her own time. Her diligence has exceeded anyone that I’ve known in managing one of the most important assets we own. With that, she IS responsible and has been given liberties that most haven’t.
** But with that, she is required to follow the indentures and operate accordingly with structure and fairness but at the end of the day, the pool is a commodity of enjoyment and not the place to question lists, amounts owed, reasons behind it or display your anger issues.
I hope you will take a moment of your day to thank her for a job well done and if nothing more, a friendly smile and wave.
