Dear Sir,

As Secretary of the Board, allow me to address your question as to why you didn’t read in the Board minutes about the discussion of children under 3 in diapers in the pool. I am the one that records, transcribes and posts the minutes of the meetings. Each time the Board comes together we meet for 6 days, and normally about 7 to 8 hours each day. In that time there are many discussions, interviews, presentations and debates. I don’t post the meetings in their entirety, but rather only the highlights of each meeting. Everything that is brought before the Board by owners, staff or managers, and there are numerous topics, are discussed some even debated and voted on. Any item with a motion made is documented in the minutes.

The topic of children in the large pool was on the agenda of the January Board meeting. It was presented to the Board by a member who was complaining about children under 3 in diapers in the pool. It was discussed with our head of Security on Tuesday January 30, 2018 at 1:10pm, and the Board ruled that children under 3 in diapers would better monitored and enforced stronger by security.

Your letter requesting children under 3 in diapers to be allowed in the pool was sent to the Board and executive office on February 21, 2018 at 2:16pm and was placed in a folder for discussion for the April Board meeting. In the mean time, you posted the same question in this forum on the same day about 2 hours later under the topic “Convocation & questions” and received a reply 11 days later but now you admonished the chairman for being what you thought was “dismissive” when actually this topic had already been discussed weeks earlier as I said at the January Board meeting. Your request is the only one that the Board has received asking to have children in diapers to be allowed in the large pool. The majority on this topic are complaints about people bringing their diapered children into the large pool with them. Since it is a rule, and posted as such, security are required to enforce these rules.

The question of children under 3 in diapers being allowed the large pool was once again brought up (by your letter request) at the April Board meeting on Tuesday April 17 at 2:38pm and discussed by the Board, General Manager and the head of security.

An accident in the pool can immediately call for the pool to be closed so the water can be stabilized. Depending on the ph reading sometimes the pool must be completely drained, cleaned and refilled that often requires at least 3 days. So once again it was decided to retain the rules that states: For their own health and safety, and for the health and safety of all members, children under the age of 3 are NOT permitted in the large pool, only in the kiddie pool and must wear “swimmies”, NO DIAPERS.

Lastly, I take great offense to your statement “I firmly believe the board is partially made up of a group of liars” as I know myself to be a person of the utmost integrity. The fact that you were not given a personal reply to your request does not mean it was not discussed nor that I or the other members of the Board are liars. Since it was replied to on this forum previously and there was no change in the Boards stance, it was not posted in the minutes. HAD there been a change in the rule that would have been noted in the minutes, the sign by the pool would have been changed, the notice in your room would have been updated, and the web site would have been updated to include such a change.

Respectfully,
Karen Cottrill
Secretary

A CDM member can get a 25% discount from the rack rate, provided that member can show proof of CDM membership and taxes and energy surcharge has to be added to the room rate.

For example, you rent a studio during high season with the discounted rate, it will be $202.65 total per night.

The listings placed in the rental pool are not shown on the web site. Renters need to contact reservations to find out avibility.

Thank you to everyone that took time to vote.
I have been ask by a few members to post this break down here for all to see and understand.

With this vote there was an increase in the maintenance fee of 3%, which is the Aruban cost of living increase for this year. Payment will be due as always by October 31st.
New Maintenance Fee:
Superior $632
Deluxe $746
Royal $869

The special assessment is the same that they imposed 15 years ago, which was 125% of the maintenance fee spread over 3 years, 40% 1st year 2018, 40% 2nd year 2019 and 20% 3rd year 2020. Payment will be due by Dec 31st of each year.
The Superior is $790, the Deluxe $933 and the Royal $1086, in 3 installments 40%, 40% and 20%.
The Superior will be $316, $316 and $158, the Deluxe $373, $373 and $187 and the Royal $435, $435 and $216.

A quorum needs to be reached in order to have the meeting held at first call which was April 3rd. Since that was not reached, the meeting will take place on April 17th in compliance with Article 15 of the Aruba Beach Club Articles of Association.

Could “possibly” be anything. Could be a surname, or it could mean something else according to Google and Urban Dictionary. Who knows? Someone keep a copious itemization of costs for room 129 reno, all of which seem perfectly reasonable, except for this one line item which lacks clarity.

Den, I will ask for clarification but I know the gentleman that owns the construction company and his name is Mr Patino. The offices are closed until Tuesday but I will find out for you then and post a reply.
