3-18-15

• One of the home owners brought up to one of the Board members that their back fence opens up to the pool, which means they have access to the pool all year long The Board discussed this and thinks it is a liability. When the pool is closed we should like all gates to the pool area from the pool side of the gate so they do not have access when the pool is closed. We will table and discuss at the April Board meeting.
• Notes were taken on what we would like to put in the newsletter. The notes were sent to Martin.
  At the time these notes were written, the newsletter was already passed out.
