Proposed Room Addition Follow-Up

Resident will appeal to ICHA regarding HRB decision not to recommend against a proposed room addition

Pool Swimming Lessons

Resident complained about private lessons in University Hills swimming pools. The resident included a variety of issues regarding the following: keys loaned to outside residents for private instruction; outside children being included in instructional groups; certification of instructors; liability issues; and payment for use of facilities including tennis courts and swimming pools for instructional purposes.

Discussion- Preliminary discussion centered on these issues, in particular insurance liability, payment for use of facilities and what constituted formal group instruction. Increasingly, formal group instruction is being offered to residents of University Hills. University Hills has a current process for renting and utilizing the Community Center for group instruction but HRB recognizes the need to have a clear and consistent policy for formal group instruction occurring in any of the facilities, including tennis courts and swimming pool. This discussion will be continued at the next meeting.
