Pool Volunteers Needed

We are in desperate need of people to volunteer to check the pool water. This must be done 4 times per day. There are approx. 350 slots to be filled. Since we have approx. 600 homeowners, if everyone does their part, this should not cause an unnecessary burden on any one person. The HOA Board of Directors will not solely take on this task. If there are not enough volunteers, the pool will have to be closed on that day.

If you do not use the pool, please remember that having the pool shut down does not decrease the HOA expenses. In addition, it can decrease your property value as potential buyers see a pool that is closed due to the inability to obtain volunteers. Please do your part and sign up for a few times. This will take very little time out of your day and will benefit the entire neighborhood.

It has to be checked 4 times a day every day? Why? (I am not trying to be difficult, I just want to understand why) Also what have we done in years past? Is this a new requirement?

Yes - 4 times per day every day that it is open. That is the health department regulations and, to my knowledge, has always been that way. I know the first couple of years it was done (I was on the board and another homeowner was the person in the neighborhood certified to take care of the pool) - I have no idea what has been done since then.
