$360.00 - Standard Annual Dues - May 14 through May 29, 2023

$385.00 - Late Fee Dues - May 30 through September 4, 2023 

Annual Dues run the pool by paying the lifeguards, paying utilities, paying for pool maintenance, etc. This money keeps the pool open every season. 

Annual Dues are collected every year before you can access the pool. 

Members new to the pool for the 2023 season are required to pay the increased dues fee schedule ($350; $400; $450).

Failure to pay your annual dues will result in a rollover balance that will be due in addition to the following season's dues. If your dues are ever more than the value of your certificate, the Board reserves the right to revoke your certificate which results in your forfeiture of ownership. 

Dues are set by the Board and have not been raised over the past five years. As projects around the pool continue to grow, there may be an increase in the coming years. Any increase levied will not be due until at least the 2024 season. 

The Early Bird Discount ends at 11:59pm on May 13th. Standard Dues end at 11:59pm on May 29th. There is no probate pricing available after the season begins. $385 is the price for dues paid after May 29th. Checks mailed to the PO Box must be post marked by 5/13/23 for the discount and by 5/29/23 for the standard dues.

***NEW THIS YEAR*** 

Venmo @arcsp Angier Recreation Club, Inc (Pool) 

https://www.venmo.com/u/arcsp 

28 members/families present.
Board present Clay, April, Tyler, Heather, Joanie, and Mindy

Open with any burning questions... 

What’s going on with the shelter??
The new shelter will  be ready by opening day. The old one was rusted (salt pool increases rust on metal) and a wind storm broke pieces of it. It was dangerous and an eye sore so it will be replaced by a wooden structure complete with electrical. Should stand the test of time even with heavy wind and salt water.

Driving Board?? Is it safe??
Plan to sand, paint and stabilize by opening day.

Kiddie Pool?
The kiddie pool is completely filled in, we won’t have a kiddie pool any time in the near future. The area where the kiddie pool was will remain a kids play/shade/sit area. Water tables/toys will be available again this year.

Members outlook?
250 is capped
We are keeping a close eye on the numbers to make sure we don’t over crowd the pool with all of the new member requests.
We have to clean up our books to get everything above board by the bylaws. April is working on that project.

Lifeguard help?
How can we (members) help when there is a lifeguard shortage?
Get certified and become a guard!
TACC very strenuous - Campbell Uni = great option - club works less strenuous.
Anyone that is interested contact us angierpool@gmail.com if you’d like to become a lifeguard or a sitter.
Clay is the Board Member in charge of lifeguards.

Call the officer meeting to order : 

Pool is in good shape financially for this year.
We have the money needed to open the pool and what is needed to operate the pool for the 2023 season.

Capital Expenses are going to be large in the coming year.

Pool Grates: the fins are broken and won’t pass inspection. We have a plan to take care of it so we are good  to go from that perspective.

We drained the pool to address grate/fins issue … found issues with water under the plaster.

We re-surfaced the pool 7-8 years ago. This year it must be redone because cracks are surfacing and the water is seeping under layers of plaster — we are out of the warranty on the 2014ish resurfacing.

This will mean future costly repairs. North of $80k
This is not a safety concern.
We can make it through this year.
Are we going to band-aid it or totally redo it was the question the Board had to answer. In order to open on time, there was no option to fix it completely this year. So we will make the needed repairs to open Memorial Day Weekend.

What happens now is the weight of the water spreads the distribution of force and that creates pockets that water can get under.

With that issue on the horizon, along with the age of the pool, and condition of the parking lot we are anticipating significant capital expenditures based on the future state of the pool.

Circumstance we are in for the current year mean - a light fix to operate - membership needs to vote on next steps by the end of the season. Will call an additional end of summer meeting this year to discuss.

Members do not vote to raise dues, that’s a Board decision but Members will have to vote to take out a loan, especially the size of the loan we’ll have to have to float renovations in 2024.

Daycares?
1 daycare coming on Mondays
Pulling back number of daycares to reclaim time for members
$3k return for the current approved daycare so it will continue.
Any other daycares will be considered for revenue against how much time it will take the pool from the Members.

Sunshades are a priority - pricing out those as we speak so tentative yes on more shade this year!

Pool Parties
Security deposit is increasing
Just the deposit**
Member must be present
All rules must be followed to gain full refund.
Please carefully read the rules on the pool’s website and the info packet you get with your pool party reservation.

Guards
Young guards mean difficult conversations have to be had with adult members. Please help enforce policies as a member.
Police each other.

Swimming Lessons
Info coming.
Will be posted to Facebook and website

Before the season clean up...
Can members help?
Work days are YES!
Usually rely on our college guards
Will put out at least 1-2 days to help
Many hands lighten the load
Too many hands cause chaos :)

Any way to provide feedback to the board? Absolutely. Speak to any of us or send an email to angierpool@gmail.com

Input for an assessment vs loan
Plan for any financial strain — all ideas are welcome at end of summer meeting.

Dues
Dues remain the same as the past five+ years for current members.
New Members as of 2023 will pay increased dues.
The increased dues will go into effect for ALL members for the 2024 season.
Increase is +20 early bird; +$40 standard.

Pool created a certificate buy back program - any member in good standing can elect to sell their certificate back to the pool for $200.

Board raised the selling price of a certificate from $350 to $400.

Meeting adjourned.
