Attention members and guests,

Last night the chlorinator in the pool mechanics room got stuck, due to that the levels of chlorine in the pool will not be safe to swim until around 4:00 pm today.

We apologize for this inconvenience

2:11 pm UPDATE:

the chlorine levels are not dropping back to normal as quickly as expected, it is likely that the pool will not be open until tomorrow. Will keep this post updated once we know for sure.

3:45 pm UPDATE:

Unfortunately the pool will have to remain closed until tomorrow. The hot tub and remaining rooms of building are still available for use.

10.4.24 9:20 AM UPDATE:

Last night and this morning maintenance team partially drained then refilled the pool with fresh water to try and balance the levels quicker but unfortunately it is still not at a safe level for swimming. Will be sure to post once the pool is safe.

10.4.24 11:20 AM UPDATE:
POOL IS OPEN, but chilly!

Good afternoon Fellow members,

There appears to be some confusion and some misinformation about our upcoming assessment proposal. It has been stated at several town halls, board meetings and in a segment of uncut, that current projections have capital funded within 10 years with the proposed assessment. Some have interpreted that as the 2% a year would stop then. The two percent would continue; however if the association is fully funded at that point, the board would have to act by reducing the percent or reduce your base dues as stated by Michigan law.

The 2% will barely keep up with COLA and over funding is not likely. This assessment proposal was also designed to keep us from having to run multiple assessment elections and saving us 15k an election. It is a great business proposal and we hope the members who have questions reach out to the office to get clarity. Look for a segment of Uncut coming to explain it in detail in an effort to clear up any confusion.

As always, please reach out to my office anytime with questions.
