The results of the May 2015 survey were presented at the Board of Directors meeting on Saturday, August 15th. It is now posted on this website Documents page.
Some odd conclusions were drawn about support for the pool following the presentation. Question 11 provided a number of options from which people could choose to identify the 3 'most significant benefits' of living Admirals Cove. It was not a vote or ballot on the pool. Having the pool is a settled issue - per the court's order - so that was not a question. The pool and ‘living in a safe community’ were virtually tied for third place, following beach access and the view. A more telling response is for Question 14 where 58% of the respondents chose the "unfixed pool" as the most significant problem in Admirals Cove. A survey is a “sampling or partial collection of facts, figures or options taken and used to approximate or indicate what a complete collection and analysis might reveal.” It is important to read the survey document in full before making assumptions. Besides – it’s an interesting read about our community.

A member who was present at the BOD meeting 8/15 submitted the following:
At the meeting at the shelter on Saturday August 15th, a member taped all or part of the meeting. The State of Washington it is a "two party consent" State so it was illegal for them to tape any or all of the meeting without informing those attending. It is my feelings that just paying your dues should not be the only consideration for being a member in good standing. I'm disappointed that this happened and what can be done about it I don't know but I find this persons actions very disappointing and certainly hope that we do not see his or her name on the ballot sheets. There should be a consequence for this illegal act at the board meeting. For those of you who missed the meeting in my opinion it supplied great and positive information. Thank the Board and Volunteers that do such a great job! The way the person announced that they were recording had a threatening tone (in my opinion) which lead to greater disappointment just what was the motive for performing this illegal action I can only imagine. Please use your verifiable name and email address! The Pool Feasibility Study is in (see the documents tab of this website). It suggests that we have a wide range of options for replacement of the existing pool building. We aren't chained to the current footprint and can potentially restructure, reorganize, add rooms, or even cover the pool. So many options will require careful community brainstorming, study, and money if and when we choose to move forward - but the options are indeed many and exciting!
The pool itself is operating under grandfathered status and, with ongoing maintenance, can most likely continue this way, It is NOT ADA compliant and would need major renovation to come up to current standards. Among many other requirements, this would include adding a second drain and a hoist for use of handicapped persons to enter and exit the pool. Assuming that the pool will be renovated, please comment and let us know what you would like to see. |
