Section 21: Community News Subject: Lifeguard Shortage Continues Msg# 1186147

Joe: I wouldn’t want our pools to be open without lifeguards even if private. The legal risk would far outweigh any savings. My question concerns the value of being a open to the public community verses a private one. OP was created to be a private gated community. It has become just another public hangout. The difference is the OP property owners pay dues for the costs involved with maintaining and operating the OP amenities, roads, police, ems and even the our now public sewer system enjoyed by the other nearby developments. We also pay the same state and county property taxes and road gas taxes for state & county public owned roads, parks, etc. as other Worcester County property owners. Other nearby private communities, example White Horse Park, are still private. And the annual costs are less. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Harry, do you actually think association members would, even if possible, want OPA to give up its tax free status? Do you think association members would want pools without lifeguards, even if legal? That said, feel free to suggest the OPA board obtain a legal opinion on how not to be a 501c4 and the monetary and other ramifications of doing so. Good luck. |
