LATEST NEWS
Potential ProjectTo All the Members of Monte Sano Club and Pool:
The Pool Board is excited to share some exciting news about a possible upcoming project that would enhance the overall experience for all members who enjoy the water part of Monte Sano Club and Pool. We have commissioned Burleson Pool Company to create conceptual drawings for a proposed second multi-functional pool with attached kids' pool. Our general membership meeting is on October 23rd, and we wanted to get these drawings and short video out to all pool members with enough time to see them and comment on the potential project. We will vote on this proposal as a club and wanted to give everyone enough time to see the plans, talk with us, provide feedback, and cast an informed vote. The new multi-functional pool would be 25 yards long, sixteen feet wide, and four feet deep. This proposed new pool would allow for many activities including but not limited to: -lap swimming -exercise classes -water volleyball -water basketball -free, splash time -evening social float/swim -sit and relax on underwater bench The new children's pool would be a zero entry pool that would go to two feet in depth. Small bubbling fountains would provide a new water element without adding extra noise on the bluff. Parents would also have an underwater bench in the "deep end" of the children's pool. The two sections of the new pool would be connected by a common wall. After reviewing the initial plans, we recommended adding a decorative iron fence that would serve as a safety barrier between the two sections of the new pool. We would also have a new guard chair added so that unlike now, we would have a full time guard watching over the kid section and the multi-functional section. By having a second pool, we would then take out the lap lanes in the "big pool" and open up that space for all swimmers who want to enjoy the main pool. Lap swimmers could then swim without disruption from people playing around them. We would also move the diving board over just a bit to create more space; allowing all members to enjoy more of the pool and have less restricted areas. The new pool would be on a separate water system. We have had concerns about "accidents" happening in the kid section and shutting down the other section of the new pool. We only had one such incident this summer, and we would enforce strict diaper policies. In addition to more water space, we would also have new deck/social space for families. So how much does all of this cost, and can we pay for it? That question is now floating in your head, and you are probably worried about dues and costs. The new pool will cost $200,000, and we will be able to pay for this using cash reserves that we have built up over the past year and by using part of next year's dues to pay off the pool. This would leave our $100,000 line of credit and current savings account untouched. We have spoken to Mountain Springs pool who did a major pool expansion. They so highly recommended Burleson that we felt they have the institutional knowledge and practical experience to do such a large job and do it well. This is no backyard pool but an engineered project with many moving parts. I have been assured that we would have both pools open by opening day in 2017. In order to answer any and all questions and address any concerns, we will be holding two informational sessions at the pool. Kristin Moore and myself will be at the pool with information and want to hear your feedback and ideas. I want to emphasize something very clearly . . . we are there to listen to you as well as talk to you. Your voice matters. We have worked on this project to improve the pool for all members, but we also know that we cannot think of everything. You all have fantastic ideas that can make a good project a great one. We will be sending out dates and times in a few days so please keep an eye out for that. At this point, please feel free to email me or the board any questions or concerns you might have. We can talk as specific or as broad as you need to better understand the project. Nothing has been decided so your feedback is essential. We will vote on this project, and the majority vote will decide the issue.

Thank you, John Kvach President, Monte Sano Club and Pool msc.president@montesano.org Fall 2016 General Membership MeetingDear Monte Sano Club Member,
The Board of the Monte Sano Club formally announces the Fall 2016 General Membership Meeting. This meeting will be held at 3:00 p.m. on October 23, 2016 at the pool pavilion. The draft agenda for this meeting is as follows:
The Monte Sano Club is accepting nominations for candidates to be elected to the Board for terms beginning November 1, 2016 to serve through October 30, 2018. You may nominate yourself, or someone else (with their permission). Nominees for the Board should submit a letter or email of interest with short bio (two to three sentences like is done for the Civic Association) by September 15th, 2016 to msc.board@montesano.org, USPS mail to Monte Sano Club, P.O. Box 10064, Huntsville, AL 35801, or hand delivery to Cami Miller (MSC Secretary). The Nominating Committee will confirm the nominees willingness to serve. An electronic ballot, along with individuals bios will be emailed (or regular mail if this is the option you have specified for receiving your yearly invoice) to each of the 275 members of record the first week in October, with a provision for write-ins. These votes should be returned to the originating email address of montesanoclubinvoices@gmail.com , USPS to the PO box, or given by hand to Cami by the October 23, 2016 general membership meeting. The Nominating Committee shall tabulate the results and report the results of the tabulation to the President and subsequently the membership. In the event one of the nominees is a member of the Nominating Committee, that individual will not participate in the counting of the ballots. There will be pre-printed ballots, one in the name and membership number of each membership available at the general membership meeting for those who chose to not submit their ballot electronically. In the event of a multiple vote by the same membership, the written ballot filled out at the general membership meeting will supersede any electronic ballot cast by that membership. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on the 23rd, however, if you will not be able to attend, you may vote by electronic means or by proxy as specified in the bylaws. If voting by proxy, you must notify in writing or email to the MSC secretary (msc.secretary@montesano.org), Cami Miller, prior to the membership meeting. This proxy may be assigned to an individual.
