Garbage and Recycling Collection

/in /by

Good morning everybody,

Since we continue to have complaints, I want to remind everybody of the following:

Garbage containers are to be placed out no earlier than 5 PM on the day before pickup. They are then to be removed promptly on the day that the garbage is picked up. I understand that many residents are at work during the day, but please try to get them when you return home. We cannot have them sitting on the sidewalk and street for days at a time after pickup. If you are going out of town, please ask a neighbor to take care of it for you.

Thank you so much and have a great weekend!

Clubhouse Closed until 2021

/in /by

In Executive Session after last night’s HOA meeting, the Board, acting on the guidance of their attorney, decided to close to clubhouse at least through the remainder of 2020.

If you have a rental scheduled, our clubhouse manager Lori will be reaching out to you.

Thank you for your understanding.

Increased Pool Capacity

/in /by

In Executive Session after last night’s HOA meeting, the Board voted to increase the capacity of the pool area.

Previous limits due to Covid were 35 in the pool area, and 15 in the pool at a time.

The limit will now be increased to 45 in the pool area, and 20 in the pool at a time.

This will go into effect on Monday, July 29.

We thank everybody who showed up and/or provided feedback on the pool.

Statement from MB Board regarding Reservation System

/in /by

Statement from the Meadowbrook HOA Board regarding complaints about the reservation system:

Thanks to all for the continued suggestions regarding the pool. Please know the board is listening to your concerns. The only option to keeping the pool open is to be flexible and work with the reservation system. We understand to some the system may seem unfair. Unfortunately, no matter how many times we adjust reservation options it will not be to everyone’s liking. Give this a chance.

We ask for your patience and support this summer. Our goal is NOT to make things difficult for the community. Board members want you to enjoy the pool. Reservations are only one aspect of keeping the pool open. We must abide by state and CDC regulations regarding the pandemic. Your cooperation is needed and appreciated.

Changes to Pool Reservations

/in /by

Over the last week, we have had some great suggestions and feedback. Please keep it coming, we will tweak and adjust based on the information we receive. Together we will get through this pandemic!

Based on your suggestions, Meadowbrook Pool will make the following changes:

1. We will now be going to 3 sessions. This will permit additional times for families/children to interact with their neighbors.

2. We will now go to a first-come, first served reservation system. This will eliminate the luck factor and give residents who need a specific time or date due to family, work or weather the opportunity to secure a spot.

Board Members realize that change is not easy but necessary at this unexpected time. We are navigating through uncharted waters. Our primary concern is the SAFETY OF ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS. Thank you for your patience as we work our way through this unforeseen circumstance.

Any questions about the reservation system, please e-mail swim15317@gmail.com 

The three sessions will be:
morning 11:00am – 1:45pm
afternoon 2:00pm – 4:45pm
evening 5:00pm – 8:00pm

Everything basically runs the same as is it has with the lottery, except:

Meadowbrook HOA Meeting

/in /by

The next meeting of the Meadowbrook HOA will be on Wednesday, 6/24 at 7 PM. Since the clubhouse is still closed, this meeting will take place outside in the circle. Chairs will be spaced out, and we ask that you follow social distancing guidelines. Thanks and we hope to see you there!

Summer 2020 at the Meadowbrook Pool

/in /by

The Meadowbrook Pool will finally open on Thursday, June 11! Of course, there will be some new rules in place due to Covid-19, and guest passes will not be sold. All homeowners must sign a waiver to be granted access to the pool – no exceptions. I’ve posted the pool rules and the waiver on the website for registered users only.

Each pool day is split into two sessions, morning (11:00 AM to 3:15 PM) and evening (3:45 PM to 8:00 PM). Sessions are limited to a maximum of 35 people, and social distancing must be maintained.

Pool sessions will be available using a lottery system. If sessions are not completely filled after a lottery, they will be made available on a first come first serve basis in a separate request form.

Lotteries will occur daily and will be held three days prior to the date being reserved.

The first lottery will be held tomorrow, Monday June 8, and will be for sessions on Thursday June 11, the first day the pool will be open.

The reservation system can be accessed here.

You can use this link throughout the summer to access the registration system and information.

If you have any questions or wish to cancel a reservation please email swim15317@gmail.com.
