DOG OWNERS AND FRIENDS COMMITTEE
A&A COMMITTEE The A&A Committee has been very busy since October 15 when we resumed evaluating and approving permits. That policy is, we only approve permits for review from October 15 through April 15. That will be the standard going forward. The committee meets twice a month every other Wednesday in the East room at 1PM. The Board, at its December 16 meeting approved, for a 28-day posting, a rule change that only metal shade structures will be allowed for any installation at ORPS. We evaluate each shade structure request on a case-by-case basis and a permit is required. Please consult with us BEFORE purchasing a structure. Another item the membership should be aware of is the new mandate by the City of Cathedral City. When doing major lot modifications or electrical work on the lot, the entire lot must be brought into code compliance. The old wiring on many lots is not up to code, and in many cases is dangerous. We see a lot of this. The City, and our rules, mandate a licensed electrical contractor perform all work of this nature. None of our employees are licensed electricians. They are not allowed to consult or perform ANY of this type of work. Please don’t jeopardize their employment by consulting with them. Our General Manager has counseled all employees on this condition regarding employee work rules. Another item I want to mention is regarding our rules on RV rig aesthetics. We replaced the 15-year rule with the aesthetic rule. This requires ANY rig moved or sold within the resort to have an ORPS permit and pass an inspection. That rule also requires ALL rigs to be kept to an acceptable standard. Our Compliance coordinator and the committee is evaluating all the rigs in the resort as we ALL want a beautiful resort as our winter home. My team of volunteers not only review and approve permits but also provide consultations to our members on what the rules allow as well as ideas for lot improvements. I would encourage all owners to go online and review the rules and take advantage of the services we provide. Ted Wilson, A&A Chair
