To EGPOA Members: The EGPOA Board recently voted to amend the minimum age requirement for unaccompanied access to the Entertainium (and outdoor) courts from 16 to 13 years old, providing more recreation access for children and families of EGPOA. The minimum age requirement for unaccompanied access to the Entertainium Fitness Center (workout equipment) and the Pool remain unchanged, however.
Going forward, children ages 13 and above, who reside in the household of an EGPOA Member in good standing, may access the Entertainium courts (but not the Entertainium Fitness Center or the Pool) and all outdoor EGPOA courts, without being accompanied by an adult. The child may only access the courts with an EGPOA ID card / fob, which will be issued by the Management Office (such IDs will be marked “UNDER 16,” to indicate that the minor is not allowed to access the Pool or Fitness Center unaccompanied by an adult). A parent or guardian will be required to sign the Entertainium waiver/release form for their child(ren), which will include accepting responsibility for all guests, before an ID / fob can be issued. Children will be permitted to bring friends / guests as any other Member, and all children and any guests are subject to and must obey all applicable Rules and direction from Security staff at all times.

Board Election
There will be four seats up in this year’s election. There are five candidates for election. Two are incumbent Board members – Alex Rey and Dan Brumbaugh – who are seeking re-election. The additional three candidates are Beverly Fernandez, Phillipa Alexander and Lesli Askew-Halprin.
Bylaws Amendment
Under the current Bylaws, all committees are created and seated by the Board for that particular term. Given the unique function of the bylaws committee, the current EGPOA Bylaws Committee proposed to create a standing committee of volunteers with three-year terms, to ensure consistency and institutional knowledge for this important function. The EGPOA Board adopted the Bylaws Committee’s proposal, with one amendment to the quantity of votes needed to remove a Bylaws Committee member (raised to two-thirds).
The Board recommends Members vote “yes” on this amendment.
Capital Projects Accounting Update
The Board has been constantly watching the association’s financials, particularly regarding the income and expenditures to complete the Pool and Entertainium projects. As promised during last fall’s Revised Capital Assessment initiative, the Board will provide the community with an update on the spending and income for these projects to date.
