On April 7, 2009, the South Fairfax Heritage Recreation Association B (“Rec B”, also known as the Pool Association) met at the Talltree Gardens offices.  Attendees included Dorothy Firsching, representing Talltree South (TTS), Ed Smith representing Talltree Gardens (TTG), Bob Shannon of TTS, Mindy Culver of TTS, Jason Smith, the TTS site office manager, Kathy DeLaney, the TTG site office manager; John Termini of Hadrian Management; Jenn Jespersen of Continental Pools, and Jason Lockard, aso of Continental Pools. Susan Neff of Maplewood was absent.

Over $25,000 of repairs and replacement parts have been approved to date, and the white coating of the main and baby pool, installing trim and transition tiles, redoing the expansion joint, installing the Stingl Switch, etc. have been completed.  Initial payments have been made. Replacement of the diving board has been deferred to next season due to lack of funds. Some electrical and plumbing repairs have been made to the pool house. As of the meeting, the foot shower near the pool house was still leaking, but will be repaired.

Existing pool furniture has been evaluated and broken furniture has been either discarded or stored for re-strapping. Purchase of the budgeted amount, $2000, of new commercial-grade pool furniture was approved, including tables and umbrellas and a few chairs, and a lifeguard umbrella. We have usable chaises; more will be replaced or added next year.

Pool pass rules were discussed and updated. For the 2009 season, adults will be age 18 and up; teens will be ages 14-17, and children up through age 13.  Each unit will be limited to five pool passes; any remaining pool users for that unit are welcome to purchase guest passes.  Guest passes are $20.00 per 10 visits. Units that are current may purchase an unlimited number of guest passes.

Updated pool rules were discussed and will be posted at the pool in English and Spanish.

Complete minutes of the meeting, pool pass applications, guest pass applications, and pool rules are available at the TTS and TTG site office, or the Maplewood pool representative.

The next pool association meeting will be June 9, 2009.
