NINTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Other Business
Consideration of Suspension ofAmenity Privileges for Violation of Pool Policies
Mr. Oliver stated this is regarding a resident who refused to comply with district policies.
On Sunday, August 11, 2019, the resident refused staffs instructions to leave the pool area when
thunder was heard.
Mr. Colcord stated I was called to the pool because a resident refused to leave the pool
area. We follow red cross rules with regard to lightning and thunder, which is when you hear
thunder you clear the pool deck for 30 minutes. Everybody cleared the pool deck and we had one
lady who was at the gazebo grilling, she refused to leave, she got belligerent with staff and they
were concerned. She called John and threatened to have him fired, John called me and I said send
staff down immediately and suspend her, shut off her card and notify her that she has been
suspended. She stormed off and continued to yell at staff and said she would be here this morning,
but she is not. I believe her card has been deactivated and we need to send a letter. Anybody who
ignores rules and treats staff badly, 30 days is not enough suspension.
The board discussed the circumstances under which JSO should be called and determined
to suspend her until the next meeting by which time she will have the formal notification of the
meeting and have the right to state her case.
