Walden Lake Community Association board members hope an official copy of the association’s policies will help stymie any confusion regarding the community’s rules and regulations.
Last month, the board directed its enforcement committee to draft a formal policy on code enforcements. Chairman Jim Chancey presented the draft at the WCLA’s Jan. 21 meeting for board members to review and revise.
“A lot of people have questions about policies,” On-Site Manager Tom Daramus said. “We want everyone to be on the same page.”
The policy will address common subjects, such as how the notification process for violations works, defines the roles of the homeowners associations, fining, reoccurring violations and arbitration. No policies were changed.
“It’s very comprehensive,” Chancey said during the meeting. “It’s not a library book, but it addresses things we haven’t addressed in the past.”
If the document is approved by all board members, it will be sent to the 16 communities WLCA oversees. Each president then will review and return it signed.
PRESIDENTS MEETING
Daramus warned the presidents about burglaries in Walden Lake. He encourages anyone who is a victim of theft to call the police. Hopefully, the number of calls would increase patrols in the community, he said.
Many of the burglaries come from unlocked cars.
“I consider those pretty much an invitation,” Daramus said.
A representative from the Plant City Police Department was supposed to be present to answer crime questions at the meeting but was unable to attend. The police department had requested from homeowners association presidents a list of addresses of vacant homes. The police department suspects that many of the burglars will hide out around the vacant homes after committing a crime to escape police patrols.
Several presidents mentioned forming a neighborhood watch to further combat the thefts.
