ECIA Drone Task ForceOver the past few years, the ECIA has experienced many calls from residents who have witnessed a drone (s) flying over their property, without their permission. While Drones and other small unmanned aircraft are governed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules, these rules only provide for limited protection from unsafe Drone flying practices which could result in individual or property damage. Additionally, these FAA rules do not adequately provide for the protection from excessive noise, invasion of privacy and voyeurism. Due to the fact that Section 14 (Nuisance Clause) of the ECIA Covenants was written to prevent any activity “which may endanger the health of, or unreasonably disturb, other lot owners, or which creates or constitutes a nuisance”, the ECIA Board of Directors drafted a Drone Operation Policy that went up on the ECIA website for public review and comments. On August 18, 2018 a Drone Forum was conducted to allow residents the opportunity to discuss the issue. It was sparsely attended, however, representatives of both drone and model aircraft flyers were present along with concerned residents. Due to a need to continue this important discussion over the issue of Drones in Eldorado, an ECIA Drone Task Force is being formed by the ECIA Board of Directors to review the public comments and will be addressing such issues as:
Anyone interested in participating in the Drone Task Force should contact Mark Young at myoung@hoamco.com.

HOAMCO has reimbursed the ECIA for the full amount of the fraudulent charges and has implemented internal controls to prevent future occurrences. Community Pool Rehabilitation3.6.19 POOL REHABILITATION STATUS UPDATE As of the end of February, contractors have been selected for most of the work. A hole was created in the back wall with a temporary gate installed so that debris and construction materials could easily be handled with appropriate equipment. Contracts are now being prepared. We expect work to begin the week of March 4th on repairing and improving our pool well. Deck demolition and bath house reconstruction will soon follow, along with repairing our backwash system and installing a new septic system. As this is a generational project, it will be of utmost importance to have the work done right and well. With revised estimates of work effort recently received, it is possible the opening of the pool season may have to be delayed.
2.18.2019 Introduction After a series of incidents during the 2018 pool season which required multiple closings of the pool for operational failures, multiple studies were commissioned in the fall of 2018 to determine the condition of the pool infrastructure. The findings were that while the pool shells were in very good condition, all of the other infrastructural components had issues.
