Before reading any further please refer to the previous post titled Reviewing the Island Cove Survey From 2011....more importantly read the response in the comment section from an anonymous poster. First, let me begin by saying the original post was a look into the survey and how the owners wishes were addressed by the Board. I wanted to see if the survey was given for a reason or if it was just to appease a group of owners who were demanding change. That being said, several of our concerns were met and others are at least being considered which is a far cry from what was previously discussed. Moving on, I couldn't agree with the poster more that the Island Cove Website is an embarrassment.....especially at $650/year.....try sending a work order form or any other form and you will rec. an error response indicating there is no recipient email address. We realize change is needed in the way the website is maintained, after all it's our only source of information regarding our community. I/we rarely look at the Island Cove website because of the simple fact that it is so far behind.....which in part was the reason for the creation of this website. After the inception of this website the "Entertainment" post popped up on the Island Cove website which made us wonder if that was being done in direct response to what we are trying to accomplish here.....just speculation...(we make note of the same fact in the "No News" post). As for this website ......... unfortunately, response has been minimal which makes it extremely difficult to post photos, upcoming events and general information which makes us wonder if it's even worth it. We are aware we are in our infant stage and it's going to take time to catch on but our mission has and will be to provide current and honest information regarding the Island Cove Community.....with a side of sarcasm of course. Time will tell and hopefully we can rely solely on the information provided on the Island Cove website and end what we are doing here. Anyway, trust me when I say your frustration is being felt by many and you are not alone.....and don't forget, "Sign in at the pool".
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.

Forgot to sign in at pool today...boo boo. Actually just was there for jamming session, but do I have to sign in for use of pool house as well? I did, however notice that the sign up sheet is hardly eligible to read anyway...and..who is reading and checking it? Personally I would rather see a guard at front gate during evening hours rather than spend $ on website that IC provides. Which brings up another point...our front gate is USELESS! The cost of maintaining that dumb gate may really help provide 24 hour security. Pool sign in sheet problem resolved! Ha! Happy Valentines day....love this blog!

ReplyDeleteYeah!!! Someone thinking with some common sense......I tried to rationalize the thought process behind signing in at the pool and I could not come up with anything. It's full of scribble, and what is legible usually sits there for days...which means nobody is checking it and when it is checked it's too late to address it anyway. Maybe they are checking who's using the pool and how often? No, because that's nobodies business.......maybe it's to see who and how many guests we are bringing! See above for that answer. I don't have any clue...........please help!!!!!!
As for the security guard, EXCELLENT idea......that alone will solve any issues with regards to security. Well played!! But probably expensive though..
ReplyDeleteWhoever you are I couldn't agree with you more.....I don't understand why we have to sign in. I think there should be some other form of security measure.
