MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

This is my last month writing this column as POA President and as a member of the Board. Many people have asked me why I elected to serve only one term on the Board and have expressed concern about ensuring continuity of experience in managing the community. I believe their concerns are valid and deserve a response, so here are the two reasons Board members decide to “retire”:

The Amount of Work and the Time Commitment Required of a Board Member. Our community started out in the 1970s with fewer than 200 homes and more than 1000 vacant lots. Today we have nearly 1000 homes and barely 200 vacant lots. The Board is essentially running a full-time business with only five (soon to be seven) volunteers and two part-time administrative staff. The proper role of a Board of Directors is setting policy and overseeing its implementation. Our Board has to both set the policy and then have to DO all the implementation. This includes: all financial activities (tax returns, billing and debt collection, budget management, etc.); all maintenance activities (from changing light bulbs and cleaning out the refrigerator to hiring and overseeing all contractors, buy and installing new equipment, and fixing anything that breaks); all record keeping (human resources, membership data, legal actions, how-to instructions for all POA equipment; minutes of meetings, and Board files); oversight and enforcement of the Deed of Restrictions (including new and remodeling construction projects, response to member complaints, and working with Town officials); recruiting and coordinating all volunteers for Board Standing Committees; communicating with POA members (setting agendas and running meetings, putting information into the Bulletin and the web site; writing all-member mailings, maintaining the member email list, taking and distributing minutes of Board meetings); providing POA social events (three picnics and a holiday party); and a myriad of other activities. Doing all this work takes a commitment from each Board member of at least 15-20 hours a week. This is a big chunk of anyone’s life!
I personally believe that it is time for this community to hire an experienced professional Property Manager to oversee the day-to-day operations of the CSPOA, and allow the Board to assume its appropriate role of setting policy and doing oversight of the paid professionals. That would allow us to attract and keep the best possible Board members and it would allow the Board to spend more time on planning for the future and coordinating with the Town.

Mistreatment and Abuse Received From Fellow POA Members. About 1-2% of all people who ever were CSPOA members have served on the Board. But 100% of our members have clear and strong opinions about how this community should be run and they are not shy about sharing their opinions. Many members are very good about submitting constructive ideas and offering to help implement them. But a significant minority feel free to make angry phone calls to the homes of Board members at all hours of the day and night (one just last week 6:45 a.m.), speak loudly and unpleasantly to Board members at social events, and come to the office to literally yell at a Board member about an ACC issue. All Board members welcome input from members – whether it’s a good idea or a problem -- but there are appropriate ways to do this, and waking someone up, interrupting private time, or ruining a day at the picnic or pool is unkind and unnecessary. Why would any reasonable person want an unpaid 20-hour a week job where people treat you badly?
I hope that sharing this perspective will not leave you with the impression that I have disliked serving on the Board. I have been fortunate to work with a wonderful and dedicated group of fellow Board members and feel very good about all our team has been able to accomplish. But it is time for me to reclaim my time and get back to doing at least some of the things I retired to do!
Joyce Dunn Davis, President

WHO’S IN CHARGE AROUND HERE?

Many POA members have expressed confusion about where to go with various problems and complaints. Where are the lines of authority drawn between the CSPOA and the Town of Carolina Shores . . . and what problems cannot be solved by either but must be taken to the county or state government? Here is a brief primer on who to call for what issues:

The Carolina Shores Property Owners Association (CSPOA) is responsible only for what goes on within the confines of our own community, and can only take action on things that are covered by the CSPOA Deed of Restrictions or CSPOA By-Laws. This generally includes maintaining community design and maintenance standards, quality of life issues (e.g., no unlicensed vehicles on property, no loose pets, no operating businesses from a residence, etc.); and providing and maintaining community recreation facilities and common grounds.

The Town of Carolina Shores is responsible for governing the entire physical area within the town (including multiple residential communities in addition to our own); maintaining all roads in the town (including ours) that are not owned by the State; oversight of tree removal, planning and zoning, and building construction and alterations throughout the town; maintaining public property owned by the town, etc. The Town of Carolina Shores does not have a police department, a fire department, or an animal control department. They obtain all of these services from Brunswick County.

Brunswick County governs all areas of the County that are unincorporated (not part of any town or other municipality). The County operates all public schools; social services (including services for seniors and Medicaid recipients); public health services (including mosquito control, flu shots, health clinics, TB tests); and animal control. The County also provides law enforcement for all areas of the county that do not have local police departments (that includes us) and operates the County Emergency Response Center – the place where all calls made to 911 to and are routed to the appropriate response team.

There are two important things to remember about the division of responsibility among these groups. First, if you have any type of fire emergency, health or medical emergency, or law enforcement emergency you should call 9ll. If need non-emergency information about crime and safety issues, you should look up the office number for the Brunswick County Sheriff’s Department or the Calabash Fire Department and call there with your question. Second, any time there is a difference in “regulations” among a POA, a town, a county, and a state, the priority of enforcement goes to the highest level of government. That means, for example, that the CSPOA cannot make and enforce a building code that is less restrictive that the building codes of the Town and the Town cannot use building codes that are less restrictive than the County or the State. However, the CSPOA can make and enforce community standards that are MORE restrictive than the Town or the County. And any time both the CSPOA and the Town have legal requirements (e.g., obtaining building permits and getting a Certificate of Completion or Occupancy Permit); citizens ARE required to comply with both.

IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR!!

BRUNSWICK STEW – A wonderful stew for sale by Brunswick County Literacy Council to help benefit the Council. The cost is $7 per container (enough for 1 person). If you would like some, please call Ann Nice at 575-2166, or Helen Gabriel at the Council at 754-7323.

ARE YOU A CAREGIVER?

My 91 year old mother lives with my husband and me. She uses a walker and doesn’t hear well, but would enjoy a chance to get out and visit with others. If there are others in the community whose parents are living with them, or who are themselves homebound, perhaps we can find a way to hold a gathering for them at the POA once a month or so for an hour or two. We caregivers could take turns staying with them. If you would be interested please call Mary Ellen Psichos at 575-5008.

CRIME WATCH – VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

We are getting the Carolina Shores Crime Watch Program up and running again. Through this program, volunteer drivers patrol our community twice a day, year-round, watching for any signs of crime or safety issues. Doing this not only allows us to spot problems before they become serious, it also is an excellent preventive measure since all the volunteer drivers have large CRIMEWATCH magnetic signs on their cars as they drive. We will begin doing our daily patrols on February 1 and hopefully continue throughout the year. Currently, I am looking for volunteers for the following dates:

FRONT NINE SIDE (Carolina Shores Parkway and Acreage):

February 9

February 23

February 24

February 28

 

 

 

BACK NINE SIDE (Clubhouse side, including Northwest Drive):

Every day in February EXCEPT February 14. Volunteer drivers agree to drive their entire side of the community two times on the assigned day -- once in the morning and once in the afternoon or evening. You are asked only to observe what is going on in your territory and report any criminal activity or serious safety issues to 911.
Please let me know if you can be available to cover one of the open days -- especially on the Back Nine side -- ASAP. If you have already been contacted by a Crime Watch Captain to cover some other date, then you do not need to reply to this.
Thanks for any help you can give,
Joyce Dunn Davis

COME TO CSPOA MOVIE NIGHT

Mark your calendars now and plan to attend the first CSPOA MOVIE NIGHT -- Sunday, February 18, at 7:00 p.m. Any seat will be a good seat as we watch our first of many movies on our new, large, wall projection screen.

You bring whatever you want to drink and your suggestions for future Movie Night features. See you there!

Thank you so very much for donating hundreds of good, usable clubs, bags and balls to The 1st Tee of Brunswick County. The children are those who benefited from your generosity. We had to "commandeer" Charlie Mac Donald and his SUV as we filled three vehicles.
