Pool: There were several minutes of discussion regarding our pool and the ongoing issues relating to the solar array failing to operate efficiently. It was also noted that the weather for the last couple weeks has been unusually cold which greatly hindered the warming of the water. President Cal Knol encouraged anyone with questions or comments, regarding this matter from both those sitting at the table and from the gallery. Marion (Suki) DeJong commented that she had called a solar company from Miami and requested that they check our system for potential problems. Cal permitted this to move forward in an effort to have additional sources to inspect the solar heating system. He also noted that we are continually seeking advice and help from Barefoot Pools, who manages our pool, and our immediate intentions are to contact other solar heating companies that can potentially service and/or repair our system, so it can operate at peak performance.
