GYM SAFETY Update: 

We continue to have homeowners complain about unaccompanied minors in the gym who are unsafe, breaking the rules of the gym, and not correcting their actions when confronted about their unsafe behavior. NO ONE UNDER 16 IS TO BE IN THE GYM WITHOUT DIRECT SUPERVISION OF THEIR PARENT WHO IS A HOMEOWNER. 

We have now suspended access to the entire facility of more than a dozen families because of these actions. Some of the suspension have been extended for 12 months. The rules will continue to be applied equitably and expeditiously. Complaints are taken seriously and there are NO exceptions. There is video surveillance at all entrances of the community center buildings. This time of the year it could mean that the actions of your household member will cause your entire family to lose access to the facilities until the end of June. 

At this time, the behavior has been almost exclusively 6-8th grade age boys. Parents, please speak to your children about the rules. The rules are on the website, posted in the clubhouse, and filed with the county. 

Prior Post: 
Over the past three months we have had many young people access the facility without supervision, bringing others onto the facility, causing damage, disturbing residents, consuming alcohol, using illegal drugs, and creating unsafe conditions. Because of this, we continue to suspend residents who have not supervised the activity of their household members and that is happening with their codes that have been shared with their children and subsequently shared even outside of our neighborhood.

When we suspend an account, this blocks access to all members of the household to the facilities for the determined period of time. Owners are responsible for the actions of all those that they provide their code to and therefore access to the facility. Here are the rules being enforced and the demand for enforcement is coming from residents on the facility reporting the behavior and asking for action.

According to our rules filed at the county:

Fitness Center Policy:
7.4. Only Members, Grandfathered Participants, their family members and their Guest(s) over the age of sixteen (16) years and registered with the Manager may enter the Fitness Center.

Tennis Policy
6.8  Children: No children will be permitted in the court area unless they are playing tennis. Children are to be directly supervised by parents(s), legal guardians(s) or Guardian(s) at all times while on the Property.

PLEASE, make sure your household members are following these rules. We will continue suspending accounts of those who refuse to obey the rules. We have cameras, biometrics, and security to handle these situation as best as possible. I hope that people who plan to break the rules will remember that it is all on camera and enforcement will occur.

Thank you for all of those who help by setting a good example by following the rules and trying to help others follow the rules as well.  You are very much appreciated.
