FACILITIES PLANNING A big welcome back to everyone. Our wishes as a Committee are that you all enjoyed a happy and healthy time away. As I write this message, I am here early in October seeing all the hustle and bustle going around. Projects are being finalized - it's quite exciting! Our Committee this year will be involved primarily in finding solutions and better ways to serve our Owners with the kitchen facility at ES. To that endeavor, we look forward to working with kitchen planners, looking at other resorts, and getting input from users and volunteers with the activity groups within our Resort. Our ambition is to have a first class, workable kitchen that serves our needs going forward to the coming years. I look forward to seeing you in the Resort. D ICK T OMLIN Chair
The November meeting has been rescheduled and will be held on Wednesday, November 11 at 9AM in the Board Room. Our CC&Rs currently allow RV’s in the Resort as follows: Travel trailers that are no longer than 40 feet and no higher than 13.5 feet 5 th wheel trailers that (a) contain no more than industry standard square feet of gross area, (b) are no longer than 40 feet, and (c) are not high- er than 13.5 feet; Motor homes and bus conversions that meet industry standards, are no longer than 45 feet and are no higher than 13.5 feet. Industry standards are changing and many Owners have expressed a desire to bring into the Resort 5 th wheel trailers that meet industry standards, but exceed the 40 foot length requirement. Additionally, the CC&Rs do not set minimum length requirements for an RV in the Resort and again, many Owners have suggested a minimum length would be desirable. Both of these issues will be explored at our first meeting for the Committee to develop a recommendation to the Board of Directors for a possible amendment to the CC&Rs regarding RV’s. Any such amendment would require a vote of the membership. Owner input is encouraged and comments on these issues should be forwarded to Chair S KIP P ISOR in care of the Board Room. Owners are also welcome to attend the meeting. S KIP P ISOR Chair ON WATCH Summer has come to an end and was uneventful for the most part. A couple of break-ins were discovered as owners had vendors come to wash there rigs that were covered. In both incidents, Cathedral City PD were dis- patched and reports taken. There was a TV taken from one rig and also both rigs appeared to have been searched thoroughly for items leaving quite a mess for returning homeowners. I have been informed by other owners that have experienced some of this type of ac- tivity in the past that they have placed security systems in their units. Management will discuss these incidents with the Safety and Security Committee at their first meeting. In addition, our interim Post Commander Laura Duke has accepted another job within her company and is no longer posted at ORPS. Management with input from the Board is conducting a search for a new Post Commander and hopes to have someone in place soon.
