Day Use Update

Owners,
With this being the busiest time of the year, on July 3, the Board announced that day use would be suspended.  This temporary suspension was needed for the Board to gather information and data to make a determination about how to proceed with day use.  At the last Board meeting, many owners present and attending virtually provided feedback about their experiences and concerns.  As such, the Board has decided to wait until the September meeting before making any decision about day use.  During this time, we will continue to collect data on the number of owners making use of the day use option.  The following is what the Board has decided at this time:
  1. Day use is permitted again.
  2. Day use will not be available during specific holidays, special events, and fixed weeks.  These dates will be posted on the Owners’ calendar.
  3. Anyone using the day use option MUST check in at the front desk and must wear a day use wrist band while on the property.
  4. Depending on the number of owners staying on the property, a parking pass may not be available for those making use of the day use option.
  5. A failure to follow any of these policies may result in the removal of the owner and his/her guests.
If you have questions, please contact the Board.
Thank you,

Owners’ Portal Up Again

The owners’ portal was down for a couple of day.  After contacting the host company, we discovered that an update had been run that conflicted with the portal configuration.  It is working again.

Common Use Areas

The TSR BoD will be discussing the daily use of common areas at the July 12, 2025 bi-monthly Board meeting. When the BOD makes a decision on this subject it will be posted on our Facebook page, website, and the bulletin board in the building.

Owners’ Day Use

We are in the busiest season of the year so it should come as no surprise, we are at full capacity.  As such, for the safety and enjoyment of our owners who are staying at the resort, we are not allowing day-use of the resort.  For owners who live locally and take advantage of the day-use privilege, we ask for your understanding.  We want to give those staying at the resort the ability to make full use of the facilities.  If you have any questions of concerns, please contact the Board via the online contact form on our website.

Reservation Requests Displayed

Now that we are in the busiest season for reservations, some owners have expressed frustration when they are unable to get the particular week they want a year out.  The new policy for making reservations is a fair a system as we can create, and while some may not get the week they wanted, or indeed have been getting in years past, this video should help demonstrate why that can happen and why this system is as fair as possible.

Please also remember that it is the Board of Directors who voted on this policy and not our staff, so if there are any questions or concerns, please address those with the Board.  Our website has an online form to submit comments/questions/etc. to the Board.

Update: 6-10-25

Owners,
 
Here is the latest update that we have:
 
The doors on the pool level have been installed.  The roof has been completed as well.  The City inspector came out and approved all of this.  The fire marshal came out a couple of days later and initially suggested that there was an issue with the height of the push bar handles on the doors; however, Danielle reminded him that he’d already sent us an email indicated what was required and we were within those guidelines.  Thankfully, the doors have been approved by the fire marshal as well.
 
The gate is supposed to arrive this week and be installed.  Of course, we’ve found vendors to be less than reliable, so we are not making any promises.
 
The fire marshal required us to put a push button release on the sliding doors.  Stanley was supposed to install that today so it could be tied into the fire system; however, the tech told us today that they have “misplaced” the item and will likely have to reorder it.  They promised to expedite it.  This is typical of the types of thing we’ve run into throughout this entire process.  Fortunately, we feel we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
 
In fact, we are getting close enough now that we’re talking about pool hours.  In the past, the pool was open from 9:00am – 11:00pm.  Danielle suggested that the pool hours be 8:00am – 11:00pm and the Board agreed.  When the pool opens, it will open an hour earlier than in the past.
 
Hopefully, we’ll have the pool opened soon.  We will keep you updated.

July 4th Reservation

Owners,
 
 July 4th of 2026 falls on a Saturday.  This means that, if you want to book the 4th for next year, you can submit your reservation request form on July 4th of this year, which falls on a Friday.  Our reservation staff is off on the 4th as it is a holiday, so you may not get your 2026 reservation confirmation may be delayed.  The process remains the same, but you should anticipate a delay in receiving your confirmation.

Pool Update: 5-30-25

Owners,
 
Here is the latest on the pool:  The pool is just about ready, but we did find an air leak in one of the bottom pool pipes.  All Aqua is looking into it.  We had to replace the door next to the gym and the one at the employee lounge.  Those should be arriving the first of next week and hopefully will be installed relatively quickly.  The gate is being built.  We’ve been told that it is supposed to be done on June 6, but we are hesitant to put a specific date out there because experience tells us that vendors don’t always live up to the dates they suggest.  We filed the permit for the gate and we’re just waiting to hear back from the City.  The slider door that leads out to the pool had to be replaced as well.  This is all due to new code requirements.  The door has to meet specific safety requirements which means we have two companies working on them — one to install the door and the other to wire the door to the fire alarm system.  Everything is in place.  We are just waiting on the permit and for the vendors to finish their work.  We’ll keep you posted.
