Recap: July 14 HOA Meeting
  • New Signs for Clubhouse glass doors and all pool gates:
    • "Weapons and firearms are prohibited on site; Property under 24 hour video surveillance";  Also pickleball and excercise safety notices.
  • ​Presentation of pickleball court conditions:
    • General plan to repair courts and remove surrounding trees whose roots are causing damage.  Survey to be sent on townsquare.  Expect detailed quotes at next meeting. Repair funds to come from extra funds obtained with clubhouse purchase.  Visit the courts to see the activity and current conditions.
  • Budget discussion:  Treasurer:  "A budget is what we think we will spend".... 
    • but not necessarily where the funds are sourced (i.e. member assessments, borrowed funds, cafe revenue, late fees, etc.) "Other Income" should be specific.
  • Welcome addition - Open forum for members to comment.
  • Unusual disussion about Medley's official corporate Annual Report filed with Florida secretary of state incorrectly listing only 3 of 5 board members potentially affecting quorum numbers (newest members LH and AP are not listed.)  
    • This error continues into 2026 and should be amended by President and legal counsel who filed the incorrect ones in November/December 2025 and April 2026.

Recap: June 23 HOA Special Board Meeting re Pool Chairlift / Petition
  • After all members' comments, the majority (4:1) of the board voted to reconsider the chairlift and it will not be purchased.  So, the 297-home Petition was effective!
  • The board meeting was adjorned before any consideration of the water wheelchair option.  (There is one available at the Lagoon if anyone would like to see it or try it.)
