WELCOME

I thought it would be a good idea to create a blog for idea sharing and conversation about the rec center. After all we might have a good thought sooner than every 2 weeks. : ) Also as new people join (or leave) we can just invite them to the blog spot to get updated and to share their ideas. I also think that with this issue being so pervasive that it is extremely important for this committee to act with complete transparancy. There are after all no bad ideas and for the amount of our money that is proposed to be spent, everyone should be able to know exactly where this important issue is heading

With the meeting this past Tuesday night we have concluded our business and have our reccomendations ready to go to the Boards of Directors. Thanks so much to everyone who participated by attending the meetings or posting on the blog. The next update will be when the Boards of Directors have a meeting scheduled to hear our reccomendations. Please, please plan to attend that. I will post that information as soon as we have it available.

The final reccomendations of the Recreation Center Committee are as follows:
Rekey the locks with high quality no copy medeco keys.
Replace the existing fence with an 8" industrial grade aluminum fence with access into the playground, volleyball/basketball and pool only. Disable the existing pass through gates into the pool area.
Install an upgraded security camera system in the rec center area to be able to fully cover the entire area with infrared cameras and a dvd burner.
Finally distribute the keys to each owner in person by giving them a copy of the rules and regulations and then they must sign for the keys saying they have read and agree to abide by all the rules and regulations and that there are consequences for failing to do so. Any infractions that are not covered by the police department will be addressed by the fining committees in place in Sterling Manor and Wyngate and will be assesed according to the Florida Statues.
Also the spa needs to have some work done to convert it to a salt system to bring it up to current code.
