On 7/27, an unsigned letter threatening one of our members was received. It has been turned over to the Sheriff's Department who classified the threats contained as criminal and are investigating. The woman's son acted as process server for an ACBC Small Claim, simply delivering court papers and attesting to that fact.
The letter says of the son, "... he is the enforcer - the directors don't want their hands dirty and he has volunteered to be their goon. What a moron." It then continues, "News to mom of the goon, you'd better keep an eye on your kid. He's in our sights and we don't take this type of cruel enforcement lightly - payback will be hell. This is a neighborhood that looks after its own; we don't need you or your kid to be involved in our business. Sometimes accidents happen and I heard [your son] was accident prone! Get out of our business. Consider this the first and last warning." If you have any idea who wrote this threatening letter, please contact a member of the Board or contact the Island County Sheriff's Office (case 15-i13008). This letter is the latest unsigned missive in the Cove. Please do not give credence to unsigned documents. If an author is not willing to own up to authorship, his or her content is not worthy of consideration. Over the past year there have been unsigned documents critiquing people running for board positions, two criticizing the bylaws revisions, and others demeaning, defaming and intimidating individual board members. Our community should not tolerate this type of activity. If you have something to say, say it - but sign it!

According to both the federal documentation on ADA Pool Requirements (ADA 2010 Revised Requirements: Accessible Pools—Accessible Means of Entry and Exit) and our discussion with the Department of Justice, “Community pools that are associated with a private residential community and are limited to the exclusive use of residents and their guests are not covered by the ADA accessibility requirements. On the other hand, if a swimming pool/club located in a residential community is made available to the public for rental or use, it is covered under Title III of the ADA….See: http://www.ada.gov/pools_2010.htm.” In our efforts to open the pool for the enjoyment of our members for at least part of this summer in accordance with our responsibility under both the by-laws and the Temporary Restraining Order for the maintenance and operation of ACBC facilities of which the pool is primary, the board has moved to not accept any associate memberships (the bylaws allow but do not require associate memberships to be offered) this year and to open the pool only to ACBC members in good standing and their guests only as a limited use pool this summer. As an existing pool facility and under these circumstances, ADA compliance is not required. When the pool facility assessment and subsequent renovation is complete, we will be compliant with all regulations, including ADA compliance.
