How are our dues spent?
   Once collected, dues are used for the expenses related to the maintence of the subdivision, common areas, and operating costs associated with the Association. Examples include the mowing and landscaping, sprinkler maintence, pool maintence both in and out of season, utilities (electricity & water), attorney's fees, accounting/collection fees, postage, printing, and insurance.

When are we going to have a homeowners meeting and can I attend the meeting?
   The "Association", developer Donnie Tucker, the three committee heads, the association attorney and secretary hold regular meetings (typically monthly). The developer has expressed his desire to turn the association over to the residents as soon as the subdivision is completed.
After the association has been turned over to the residents, a meeting can be held and elections of the board members can move forward. (note: The association secretary invited several residents to the last meeting to express their concerns to the committee members and the developer. Of the several residents invited, only one responded and further declined the invitation.)

Why did I get a letter of violation of the covenents and I see others who are also out of compliance? Ex: grass cutting, boat, basketball goal, metal storage building, etc.
   Each month, (typically the third week) a compliance inspection is completed. After the inspection, the letters are written and mailed to the residents who are in violation. If a resident receives a letter for a compliance issue, then the other resident was mailed a letter was as well. If a resident does not comply, the issue will be escalated to the appropriate authority.

When does the pool open and close for the season and what are the hours of operation?
   The Camden Cove pool opens the weekend of Memorial Day and closes the Tuesday after Labor Day. Pool operation hours are from 9:00 A.M. to dark.

Why do we need wrist bands to swim at the pool?
   This is the method currently used for identifying residents from non-residents. Non-residents are prohibited from using the pool.

When are we getting another/bigger pool?
   Camden Cove's Residential Association's committee members are excited to announce groundbreaking on a new pool this fall. Details to follow!

What should I do if there are rowdy residents or non-residents at the pool?
   Call the Calera Police department at 668-3505. They will send a patrol car to investigate. Non-residents can be charged with tresspassing. Rowdy residents can be charged with disorderly conduct.

Why can't someone
         a. fix the pothole on Renwick Lane?
         b. install a street light on my street?
         c. get people to stop parking on the street?
   All of the questions above are handled by the department of the City of Calera. The city maintains our streets in the subdivision and the city along with Alabama Power install the street lights.
