Clubhouse and pool news

Quail Hollow property owners and residents,

  • We knew that the transition to a pool service after Jack Jordan’s retirement would cause some headaches, and it has.  An important reminder – the pool service is not a janitorial service.  We don’t have a janitor.  It’s a community pool, you’re an owner, and you have to clean up after yourself and, unfortunately, others who are forgetful and/or inconsiderate.  That includes putting the umbrellas down, straightening up the chairs and toys, picking up the trash, emptying the trash cans and putting in new liners (there is a box of liners in the women’s restroom), taking care of the restrooms, et cetera.  In the restrooms, wipe down the sinks and countertops after use, replace towels and toilet paper rolls as needed, take out the trash and replace liners, et cetera.  The restrooms are equipped with all the supplies needed.  If you’re unwilling to do the same things at your neighborhood pool, which you own, that you’d happily do at your house, please let the Board know that you are in favor of a dues increase to pay for a janitorial service – but expect the residents who don’t use the pool (who are a majority or close to it) to demand that it be shut down instead.
  • If you’re at the pool or clubhouse Thursday evening, please be kind enough to take the trash cans to the street.  If you’re at the clubhouse or pool Friday, please be kind enough to bring them back.
  • We’ve had several water line problems in recent days.  If you have low water pressure, see water leaking from the ground, or suspect a problem, please call the Elizabethton Water Department at 423-547-6300 at all hours.  Frankly, if you let me know, that’s what I do.  You’ll get quicker service by calling yourself.
  • Ron Winter is interested in organizing a neighborhood surveillance and defense class with the Elizabethton Police.  If you’re interested, please contact Ron at jrwinter42@gmail.com and he’ll take it from there.
  • Since the privacy fence between the pool and parking lot is badly deteriorated and must be replaced soon, the Board is considering replacing all the fencing with a more-aesthetically-pleasing design.  Your input would be appreciated.
  • Since expensive repairs to the exterior of the clubhouse will be needed soon, the Board is considering repainting it as well.  Your input would be appreciated.

 See you ‘round the neighborhood,

Ken Gough
