Hillsmere Pool Association News 
~Tom Trimmer, Pool Association Vice President

HPA held the annual 4^th of July celebration at the pool.  There were plenty of gourmet hamburgers and hot dogs.  Many members brought a dish to share.  We were entertained by DJ, Chef Homeboy RD, there were games for the children and plenty of sunshine. The pool is really hopping this summer.

Currently there are 270 general and charter memberships, 10 people with vouchers and 2 individual members.  Remember there are several ways to join HPA and enjoy the pool for the remainder of the summer.  Memberships will be prorated for the rest of the season.

As I have reported before, the current lease on the property where the pool is located expires in June 2011.  Meetings between the HSIA and HPA committees have not been held since May 2009.  Therefore, there has been no progress on securing a new lease.  HSIA held their General membership meeting on July 8^th.  HPA presented a "status of the pool" and made a motion which stated, "HPA will continue to operate the pool until a lease between HSIA and HPA can be effected."  The motion passed 50 votes for, 3 against and 2 abstaining.  We will continue to provide information about this important issue to the HPA membership and Hillsmere community through our web page, the Sea Breeze and direct correspondence if required.

Currently HPA and HSIA are planning a get together at the pool on July 31^st from 3:00 ‑ 7:00 pm.  Bring a dish to share and hot dogs and burgers will be provided.  Check our web page and watch the bulletin board for more details.

Again, the water is cool, the grills are ready and fun is waiting for you.  So, come on out and join the pool!!

Note from HSIA:  The above information presented by HPA does not correctly describe the pool lease process.  There have been significant communications via email and proposed leases all through last year.  As late as October of 2009, HPA had received and responded to proposed lease terms.  Additional HSIA board meetings (where the pool lease was discussed) and the creation of the pool survey occurred from February through June of this year.  To indicate that there has been no progress is a misrepresentation of the facts.   Additionally, it should be noted that, according to the bylaws, the motion passed at the July General Meeting is not binding on the HSIA board.  The membership present, which was nearly all pool members, was informed of this.
