MAINTENANCE FEE $100:
(Exempt: First year pool members)
Our pool is over 50 years old and the maintenance on a pool and the grounds that old are expensive and frequent. The $100 maintenance fee was created in order to get members invested in volunteering time at the pool.
For those who do not wish to volunteer, paying the $100 maintenance fee will excuse you from needing to volunteer your time.
6 hours (4 for seniors and individuals) minimum (per membership) are to be worked BY opening day of the current season, whether thru clean up days, designated fundraisers, or specially Board approved activities from opening day of the previous season (2025) to opening day of the current season (2026). Any partial amount of the required hours worked will be credited to your maintenance fee on a pro-rata basis.
Hours are calculated on a per person basis (age 9 or older). i.e. If 2 people work 3 hours each on any given work day or approved activity, the 6 total membership hours will be considered fulfilled. All family members are welcomed and encouraged to participate as it promotes a sense of community!
Any hours volunteered AFTER opening day of the current season will be applied to the FOLLOWING summer requirements.
Most of our volunteer opportunities come during the time between seasons. We typically have end of season take down days, fall fundraisers and fall cleanup days prior to the spring clean up days that are usually offered to our members as a way to get their volunteer maintenance hours in.
The Board of Directors will provide a list of approved activity opportunities for you to work off your maintenance fee. In an effort to recognize the diverse strengths of our members, the list will include: clean up days, general operations, and select fundraisers. Other opportunities will be considered by the Board of Directors. If you have other offers of support that you would like to be considered for Maintenance Fee credit, simply let a Board member know and they will be happy to present it to the rest of the Board for approval.
Membership Responsibilities
We are a VOLUNTEER organization and we need your help to make this place run smoothly. As stockholders and members, you are responsible for it’s upkeep. This can be a fun way to get to know more HRA members!
All cleaning, landscaping, building, painting and other maintenance issues are completed by pool members as volunteers. Outside of the lifeguards and front desk workers, there are NO paid positions.
If you prefer NOT to volunteer, you may pay the $100 maintenance fee yearly and not worry about volunteering. The money we collect for maintenance fees will be used towards the general upkeep and improvement of the pool and property that are not or can not be performed by our members.
Cell Tower Income
Many people ask us “What about the Cell Tower income? Aren’t you guys awash in money?” WE WISH!! Virtually all the money from the Cell Tower (minus the amount required to maintain operating costs) is going DIRECTLY to our protected CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND.
Our pool is over 50 years old and the maintenance on a pool that old is expensive and frequent. Cell Tower income is invested in protected funds for improvements and renovations! We have some exciting plans, and each year we are making major progress, but it will take a few more years for us to get the funding to initiate all of the planned improvements. If you would like to donate to our CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND, please email our Membership DirectorSheri Melzer!
