Petition Vote

August 20, 20252 min read

📅 Background

On June 9, 2025, the Regency HOA Board voted to adopt new governing rules. Three key documents were created or updated:

  • Committee Guidelines

  • Rules of Conduct

  • Guest Policy

Copies of these documents are available through the HOA, and residents are encouraged to review them closely.


📌 What Changed?

1. Committee Guidelines

Committees are no longer required to hold open meetings for residents to provide input or participate in discussions.

➡️ Impact: Committees may operate behind closed doors, limiting transparency and homeowner involvement.


2. Rules of Conduct

The new rules give the HOA Board authority to restrict resident input at open board meetings.

➡️ Impact: Homeowners may find fewer opportunities to voice concerns or ask questions directly to the board.


3. Guest Policy

The updated guest rules are especially significant:

  • Up to 10 guests per resident may use HOA facilities.

  • No clear restrictions on pool activities (e.g., running, bringing balls, or using flotation devices).

  • Swim lessons for non-residents are permitted.

  • No guest check-in requirements are in place.

➡️ Impact: The facilities may experience overcrowding, safety issues, and increased wear and tear, with little oversight.


⚠️ Why This Matters

These changes alter how our community is governed, how our voices are heard, and how our shared amenities are protected. Whether you agree with the direction or not, understanding these policies is essential for all Regency residents.


✅ What You Can Do

  • Stay Informed – Read the full documents provided by the HOA.

  • Ask Questions – Reach out to board members or the management company (First Service) for clarification.

  • Share Feedback – Discuss these changes with your neighbors to ensure community voices are heard.
