YES---THERE IS SOME EXISTING PROBLEMS AT OUR 3 POOLS!
At the last board meeting,--there were comments made to Priscilla about unknown persons coming in and using our resident pools. She suggested that residents contact Fairways Watch for violations.
I spoke up and agreed to help remedy the situation,---IF---she would agree to give me in writing, authorization to sign ''no trespass'' orders under the OCSO arrangement.
Priscilla immediately agreed.
Yesterday ,our manager contacted the HOA president and rescinded the offer to give any authorization to Fairways Watch. Priscilla, instead instructed the residents to call management!
SO!--- Please do---contact Ed Dow cell phone at 407 408 6992 or Priscilla cell phone at 407 770 9016 !
I would like to share a few past experiences that we have had in the past,that resulted in requesting some written authority from management.
Some time back, on a Saturday afternoon---we received several calls from residents, concerning a disturbance at the Westchester. upon arriving---it was chaos!---A total of about 6 rental residents and Deerwood relatives had taken over the pool.They were even putting a small dog in the water. All of the other residents had literally been chased out. One of the drunken ''participants'', informed me that they were not leaving because they had been in the park for years, and knew their rights!
They would not listen to my request---so---I called 911 and requested assistance from the Orange County Sheriff.In short order 2 units responded. I knew one of the officers, Deputy Jeff Brown-- he demanded that the entire party leave the pool area immediately.
One ''party person'' was so drunk that he could not stand, let alone walk.----so---Deputy Brown called for paramedics to remove the person on a lift.---where he ended up I do not know.
I asked for an OCSO no tress-pass order against the non- residents. The officer explained that I needed an authorization form to sign for HTA---of which I had not.
On the following Monday, I sent a complete report of the event to Priscilla, with names and and the renters address. I also asked If I could get an ok to sign no tress- pass forms.
Priscilla at that time declined to give me a permit to sign.----No comment on the Westchester party.
One more of numerous amenity questionable ventures. About a week ago--we got a call concerning repeated visits to our exercise room by a young lady.
I went to the Westchester room,--and sure enough--there was a very young lady ,sweating up a storm. I asked if she lived in the park? No she replied--BUT--her grandmother lived in here and that made it ok to use our equipment.
DOES IT MAKE IT OK?---for young outsiders come in and wear out expensive equipment that our rent pays for?----GOOD QUESTION!
It is useless for myself or anyone to try to establish any ''law and order'' with NO AUTHORITY or support from HTA.
Even Barney had one bullet!
There is another issue that sometimes confronts residents that does not involve the ''outsiders''.
The beloved old comedian, Gorge Gobel---once said ,and I quote---"I have never been drunk--but I have often been over-served'' ----This statement could fit into situations sometimes found around the Masters pool.
There have been complaints from pool users involving, intoxication with loud profanity, and even attempted abusive ''bullying'' from other residents.
The copied Florida statute below, should correct the above problem,if it was enforced by local management!
