A condo owner in Boca who was trying to get a look at the financial records for her association finds herself now owing nearly $400,000 in legal fees.

I am learning from other court residents that crime is happening in the fountains…people are coming in and sneaking in. Jog road is open and so is lake worth road. FCO wake up and see what is happening. Get your security to be more alert.
.
5 crimes that I know about in 2 weeks will grow over time . Residents get tough with your board with security rules and regulations and your by laws ..it’s your property it’s your life.
Sitemonitor,
I may be wrong, but I suspect the posting entity was attempting to send a subtle message and not intended to educate readers on the need to be precise, factual and meticulous when communicating with an Association, as it may come back to haunt you later.
.
If you investigate this specific case, you see that it is littered with personal vendettas as well as a glaring indication that Association members have abdicated their interests to a “perpetual” Board of Directors who can focus their attention on anyone who would openly challenge their “authority”.
.
Sad but true as this saga continues!
Rich Ward
.
Doesn’t the existing FCO continue a vendetta against those that opposed mandatory membership, especially those that live in the north?
It sure seems that way to me.
Some were even sued!
Just listen to any recent FCO meeting recordings if any exist, or attend an FCO meeting and listen to the way a few court presidents in the South speak to some of the female Northern court presidents in a shouting, condescending and disgusting manner.
Howard & Friends,
Lets be clear that the ultimate collaps of the Previous FCC was a product of multiple factors most of which was unrecognized inevitable trends, the inability to adapt to those trends successfully, as well as establishing a beneficial relationship with all the Associations in the Fountains.
.
Remember that the previous FCC litigated against the FCO for failure to provide the agreed Property Management Services, and won a significant settlement which was funded by “all” the associations, North & South to the tune of what I understand was $ 100k.
.
You are aware that the previous FCC spent somewhere around $ 600k to place judgements on a members both in the North & South. Following the FCC asset acquisition those Judgements were forgiven by CGP.
.
In answer to your question, the current FCO, “A Property Management Company”, has no compelling reason to do so. So the answer is no.
.
For what is worth, I predict significant beneficial changes comming soon to the FCO, that will addrss many points that “posters” on this blog have over time identified.
.
You may also be pleased to know, cordial relationships between North and South Associations remain
prevelent.
.
Rich
Howard and Friends,
.
There will always be an extensive division in the Fountains as long as the SFPOA exists to only care what is south of the bridge. In the near future the northern residents will be paying 80% to resurface southern roads, the cherished gatehouse, and make other improvements to THEIR PROPERTY not Fountains property but THEIR PROPERTY SFPOA.
.
Howard you are correct about the Southern presidents. Look what Bob Lipp President of the Atriums (former President of Versailles who was shamefully “recalled” by his own residents) did at the last FCO vote. Despicable!
.
I do not understand the thinking of the Northern Presidents, the true enemy of the North is the FSPOA and their dirty hands in all of the residents pockets in the North subsidizing the South.
SFPOA must quitclaim all of your infrastructure to the Fountains Community and show they want one community not two.
.
Give Common Association Property to a “Property Management Company”????
.
Scenario:
.
You own a home with a driveway and a garage.
You have a 3-year service contract with a Property Management Company.
You do not want to repair your driveway although you have 50% of the cost in your savings account.
You do not want to replace your unsightly garage although you have 50% of the cost to do so in your savings account.
You know that the Property Management Company recently lost 25% of its business in your community and, as a result, informed you that your monthly cost was increasing.
You know the Management of the company has, on multiple occasions, informed its customers of its concern of sustainability should any further loss of customer base occurs.
You know that the Property Management Company wants to own your driveway and garage but has no money to do so.
.
Your Property Management Company Proposed solution:
.
Quitclaim your driveway and garage to them.
Give them both of your savings accounts now and they will bill you more (+60%), in the future when they decide to repair your driveway and replace your garage.
.
Results:
Now being the owners, they regulate your use of both the driveway and garage.
.
Should the Property Management Company, having never owned real property, fail or need money to sustain itself, it has the ability to dispose of the driveway and garage
leaving you holding the empty bag.
.
The unintended consequences of knee jerk reactions can be devastating.

Does anyone have any concrete information about the construction that seems to be moving at a glacial pace along Jog Road? And for the parcel behind Trevi? I hear different information from every person I speak to.
.
Why doesn’t Concern Golf provide any information at all?
I moved here a year ago and am tired of looking at this mess.
Welcome to the Fountains!

Why are there two communities in the Fountains the North and FSPOA property called Shangri La?
DEAR “ARNOLD STANG” (STILL TOO FEARFUL TO USE YOUR REAL NAME).
.
IT IS YOU WHO CONTINUES TO REFER TO THE SOUTH AS “SHANGRI-LA.” OBVIOUSLY STEMMING FROM A DEEP-SEATED RESENTMENT. THE FOUNTAINS SOUTH PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION (FSPOA) WAS INCORPORATED IN 1983 BY THE DEVELOPERS OF THE SOUTH PROPERTIES. UPON PURCHASE OF THEIR HOME, EVERY UNIT OWNER IN THE TEN SOUTH COMMUNITIES AUTOMATICALLY BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FSPOA (AS PER THE DECLARATION OF COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS 2.2.1). THE OWNERSHIP OF DESIGNATED ROADS, LAND, JOG ROAD GATEHOUSE, WAS DEEDED TO THE FSPOA.
.
WHY THE SUDDEN RESENTMENT OF THE FSPOA? IT HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR 39 YEARS. THE FSPOA DID NOT CAUSE OR PERPETUATE THE “DIVISION” BETWEEN THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH, SO DON’T USE IT AS YOUR SCAPEGOAT. THE FOUNTAINS IS A GATED COMMUNITY, WITH AMENITIES FOR CLUB MEMBERS (GOLF, TENNIS, CLUB HOUSE, COMMUNITY POOL). WE SHOULD SUPPORT THE CLUB. IF THE MAJORITY HAD DONE SO, PERHAPS THERE WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN A NEED FOR CONCERT GOLF PARTNERS TO PURCHASE THE FOUNTAINS. AGAIN, THE FSPOA HAS NOT CAUSED ANY DIVISION WITHIN THE FOUNTAINS. THE FSPOA WILL NEVER RELINQUISH ITS DEEDED PROPERTY. YOU DO NOTHING BUT SPEW NEGATIVITY. YOU CAN EITHER WORK TOWARDS THE COMMON GOOD, OR YOU CAN RELOCATE.

Why are you shouting?

Please sit back and enjoy a CHUNCKY. “Bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue. Look like th’innocent flower, but be the serpent under’t.” Like the FSPOA!!!!!!
Listen DEAR the FSPOA and all the FCO presidents of the South only care about one thing, what is south of the bridge. Very obvious. This is not “SUDDEN RESENTMENT OF THE FSPOA” as you put it but just about every decision made at the FCO by the presidents within the FSPOA are along these lines. When the FCC went belly of up because of total mismanagement, many of the present Southern Presidents were past board members of the defunct FCC and look what happen to it, this includes the FCO President the Dentist. This fine group gave everything to your club funded by the residents of the Fountains 82% by the North and what is to show of it nothing. This was to showoff one thing the club like the FSPOA’s Shangri La.
.
I was at the meeting when funding for the South Gatehouse was first brought up it was not to exceed the cost of the North Gatehouse, a gift to the FCC. What is it now? Hundreds of thousand over that and this is a gift to the FSPOA not to all residents of the Fountains.
.
Look and the last vote at the FCO meeting Mr. Robert Lipp A.K.A “Mr Recall” shout down a fair way for the FCO to vote. Why? It was retaliatory. The FSPOA needed more money for the over budgeted new gateway to Shangri La.
.
There is a plausible theory floating around that Robert Lipp took one for team FSPOA to veto what Cathy Widdoes of Luxembourg Court proposed. All of the FSPOA court presidents would vote YES and Mr Lipp AKA “Mr Recall” NO. Brilliant! This keeps the balance of power where? In the hands of the Southern Presidents, the FSPOA and the South does not have blood on its hands.
.
Lady MacBeth as a newbie I suggest you learn the history of the voting of FCC and FCO and the comments made by FSPOA at FCO meetings before you spew the propaganda of Shangri La.
As for or comment “YOU DO NOTHING BUT SPEW NEGATIVITY. YOU CAN EITHER WORK TOWARDS THE COMMON GOOD, OR YOU CAN RELOCATE”. Unlike you I state the truth. I am working for a common good to wake up the sleeping North. As for relocating this will not happen.
.
Alongside with such great philosophers Plato, Socrates, and per the greatest Authur Herbert Fonzarelli, Lady MacBeth you and the FSPOA can “SIT ON IT”!
Grace,
Ask your court president or better yet the big kaha himself Ben Geller he is on top of this I am sure, you could also set an appointment to have your teeth cleaned.
The FCO should seriously think about cleaning the entrance to the Melanuca Gate. It is filthy and badly rusted. Needs to be cleaned up to look respectable to all our residents in the Fountains ..
Dear Lowell, Regarding the Melaleuca Gate, you can contact the FCO Executive Director, Vito Senese, directly at: vito@fcocondo.com
Lady Macbeth,
“Yet do I fear thy nature; It is too full o’ the milk of human kindness.”
Grace,
Ask your court president or better yet the big kahuna himself Ben Geller. He is on top of this I am sure, you cold also set an appointment to have your teeth cleaned.

Your Shakespearian knowledge provides slings and arrows from a creative thinker.
That being said, a creative scool yard kid came up with “Sticks and Stones will brake my bones but names will never hurt me”.
Trading litiary jabs, punches, and quips use energy best spent on identifying root causes and how best to approach to solving them.
.
Not sure if you have ever clicked on the two boxes at the top of the Blog Home Page “What is the Fountains” and “Why this Blog”, but taking the time to do so may shed light on who what when & why.
The FSPOA was formed in, April 1983, and functioned under the Governing Documents, Articles of Incorporation, Master Declaration and Covenants.
In 1989, after fulfilling its primary purpose, the FSPOA entered into a Property Management Agreement with the FCO, which was conditioned as a Non-Voting representation on the Board, Thereafter the FSPOA came to represent 509 individual residential members within its jurisdiction.
The non-voting concession was for the express purpose of “fairness” as not to unbalance FCO Board votes affecting “Property Management” for the entire Fountains Community.
On the other hand,the FCO, as a not for profit entity, was formed, February 10, 1975, with the Articles of Incorporation specifying for the purpose of providing “Property Management” services for Associations within the gated community.
The not-for-profit Florida Chapter under which it was formed provides for real property ownership, but does not permit the FCO to “ASSESS” anyone for funds to acquire such property. By design and in keeping with the articles of incorporation for the purpose of providing Property Management to the Associations, it has never owned any common property for the last 48 years.
.
For clarity, the FSPOA was never required and is still is not required to enter into a Property Management Agreement with the FCO to be represented on the Property Management Company BOD.
The FSPOA has repeatedly entered into Property Management Agreements as well as Amendments to those Agreements, demonstrating support for the Property Management entity.
December 2019 the legacy contingent of the FSPOA BOD relinquished total responsibility to a newly elected five member BOD. However one legacy member of the old FCC,was elected and contributed
as Secretary,until resigning in 2021,aparently not in agreement with consensus opinions of the BOD.
The open position was quickly filled, under the guidance of Debbie Poulett, ED FCO, and progress continued.
For the last 18 months the BOD has made significant progress in transparency, having public meetings on how to reenergize the Association, modify by-laws, expand representation, interact with all associations, change election processes,etc. etc, while at the same time fend off unsubstantiated accusations as to its motivations.
.
Fortunately the BOD remains comitted to the FSPOA mission while maintaining dialogue with interested Associations.
Richard Ward
Mr. Ward,
All hail, Macbeth, thou shalt be king hereafter! Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none.
Thank you for reminding us how wonderful the FSPOA is.
.
Anyone with a half of brain and lives in the Fountains knows what the FSPOA stands for, milk the residents of the North. I do not know how long you have lived here hopefully more than Lady Macbeth who is clueless, but I have been living here for over 25 years. I know all about the FSPOA and the overwhelming majority of residents south of the bridge who were in control of the FCC. The present shameful climate of our community is because of their arrogance. It was your people who coined the phase “White Trash North”.
.
I started going to FCO meetings as soon as the residents were allowed to attend. Historically and to this day southern presidents vote as a block. At the FCO, topics other than normal business were how to find ways to give money to the FCC though the FCO and what was needed for the FSPOA infrastructure.
.
When the old North Course was not cut for months at 4 feet high and the medians in the North had no irrigation, the FSPOA was crying about not having flowers in the South. FSPOA not caring about the condition of the North but where are our flowers? Remember that?
.
Why aren’t the Southern Presidents and the FSPOA putting pressure on Bob Lipp (Mr. Recall) and have him do the right thing??? I will tell you why because it is not in your best interest. You still maintain control.
.
Lady Macbeth wants me to leave but she shall not have her way. I know what has been going on here unfortunately many in the North are new or oblivious. You can paint any picture you want on how innocent your organization is but the FSPOA wants one thing– the North’s money– and let’s see where you are when Concert moves the clubhouse south.
.
Mr. Ward let me ask you a question. If Concert turns over the roads to our community, will the FSPOA do the same thing? I think not. There will always be two communities in the Fountains the North and south of the bridge called SHANGRI-LA which is 82% funded by the North.
.
FSPOA keep whipping the horse called the “White Trash North” someday we will open our eyes and throw you off of our back.
P.S. Do you like Chunky the candy?
Stangy keep up the good work maybe you can light a fire under the Northern President’s arses.
Mr. Ward,
Could you please end the rumor (dead end Fountains Dr S at the bridge) with documentation that the FSPOA could stop the northern residents of the Fountains the right to perpetually travel on FSPOA roads.
Thank you!
Richie W,
Could you tell all how many tens/hundreds of thousand of dollars over budget the Southgate House is at this time and what the final number will be?
Ward Old Boy,
What is the FSPOA’s position on not having a secure border around the Fountains?
Pip pip, cheerio!
Richard W,
How many thousands of dollars was wasted by the FCO when the FSPOA and Southern President’s insisted to install a fabric screen behind the fencing along Lantana Rd, only to be torn down?
??????????????
From what I understand the installation of the fabric screening was a result of the Agreement between thr FCO & the FCC that at that time, which placed responsibility for the perimeter maintenance on the FCO. If you recall, relations between the FCO and the FCC were very strained.
I do not believe that the FSPOA was involved.
Wrong.
It was brought up by the Southern Presidents and Concert owned the club. Southern Presidents and FSPOA are one and the same.
When I say Southern Presidents I mean they pressured the FCO in installing the screen.
Mr Ward,
You did not answer any of the the following questions. Would you be so kind as to tell us?
1-What is the FSPOA’s position on not having a secure border around the Fountains?
2-How many thousands of dollars was wasted by the FCO when the FSPOA and Southern President’s insisted to install a fabric screen behind the fencing along Lantana Rd?
3-Could you tell all how many tens/hundreds of thousand of dollars over budget the Southgate House is at this time and what the final number will be?
4-Fountains Dr S could the FSPOA dead end or put up a gate at the bridge?
5- If Concert turns the roads north of the bridge over to our community, will the FSPOA do the same thing thus creating one POA?
Thank you!
Richard Ward,
A follow up question from Nom De Plume-Arnold Stang to you is, If Concert Quitclaim Deeds the roadway north of the bridge to a future POA in the Fountains would the SFPOA merge with the new POA? Does this seem possible or would there be two POA’s each with there own self interests?
I bet the FSPOA must have called an emergency meeting to see how they can handle this nut. He is bring up the past and truth!
P.S. My middle name is guess what? That is it Arnold.
Dear Editor of this Blog,
I would like to thank you for allowing me to speak my mind and not be censored. Some get what I am doing others might not. I know this place should be for information and what is happening here in the Fountains not buffoonery. Though silliness, I am trying to wake up the the sleeping North on how Southern Court Presidents and FSPOA have abused the Northern Courts still to this day.
.
The FSPOA’s only goal is what is south of the bridge, not what is good for the Fountains, but their SHANGRI-LA. This is at the cost of Northern Resident dollars. Money your court could use to replace elevators, repave, roof replacement or just save for a rainy day.
.
Why are we subsidizing the South? 82% of the residents live North of the bridge and pay 82% of total income to the FCO. For example a one bedroom apartment in Trevi pays to the FCO the same as a home in Oakmont with a two car garage. As Mr. Ward stated “clicked on the two boxes at the top of the Blog Home Page “What is the Fountains” and “Why this Blog” he did not know it but I wish every resident scrutinized these past articles — there would certainly be a uprising against the FCO and FSOPA.
.
The truth is the Southern Presidents run the FCO and all Southern Presidents have one thing in common, the FSPOA.
.
I am one of the last Mohicans who know what chicanery has gone on here with the FCO and the FSPOA. Most activists have moved away, died, or have just given up.
.
There are other issues that need to be mentioned like why aren’t FCO meetings on Zoom, shown and recorded on Hotwire, signs at the entrances announcing date and time of meeting like other communities around, but this is done on purpose to keep you in the dark. This will not change unless each resident forces their boards to make this change to the FCO.
.
This blog is a blessing to the Fountains. It helped bring the end of mandatory country club membership, provides information where the FCO provides none, info on construction and future construction within the Fountains, among others.
.
I would hate to think where would we be without this forum.
Thank you Editor of this blog .
Sincerely,
Arnold
Has anyone thought about how the construction at Trevi is going to effect Fountains Drive? The other day I was driving to the north gate and there was a cloud of dust coming off the Tivoli site when a truck was leaving. The Trevi site seems like four times the size. I’m concerned about traffic, dust, plus wear and tear on Fountains Drive going into high season. I’ve heard about an alternative construction entrance. Does anyone have any information about this?
JPJ,
The alternate has been requested to be at Charleston St. behind the driving range. Concert and Lennar have not confirmed that as yet.
Thank you Ernie for your information and Nancy McBeth for your overall picture of development at The Fountains. Who gets to decide if an access road can be temporarily be utilized? It seems it would be useful for Lennar and The Fountains Community. Why would Concert be resistant to it if that is indeed the case?
Hi John Paul Jones,
Parcel A – GL Homes (land banked). This parcel fronts on Jog Road lying north of the Water Management Canal. GL has not provided any publicly available information as to when it will be developed. The impact on the Fountains is undetermined at this time. Parcel A is adjacent to Esedra and Versailles Courts. Projected to be 250 residential units.
Parcel B – Referred to as Altis Blue Lake (formerly known as: The Oasis at the Palm Beaches, formerly known as: The Lofts at Lake Worth). Boca Raton-based multifamily developer Altman Cos. and J.P. Morgan Global Alternatives have started building a 318-unit apartment complex on part of the Fountains Country Club near Lake Worth Beach.
Called Altis Blue Lake, the project will be constructed on 24 acres of land west of Jog Road and Pine Avenue, south of the Florida Power & Light Substation, at 4299 Jog Road. Projected to be 318 rental apartments, backing up to the Fountains on the west side of Jog Road. Traffic exiting from the Altis Lake will be funneled south on Jog Road. Parcel B is adjacent to Tivoli, D’Este, The Townhouses, Gefion, and Esedra Courts. DEPARTMENT ZONING DIVISION Application No: PDD-2018-01692.
Parcel C – Referred to as Lakewood Cove (formerly known as: Lake Worth Crossing). This parcel lies between Tivoli Court and Lake Worth Road. Projected to be 70 townhomes.
Parcel D – Referred to as Lakeshore at The Fountains (formerly known as: Emerald Lakes). This parcel lies between Trevi Court and Lake Worth Road. Projected to be 192 townhomes.
Parcel E – Referred to as Fountains E. 80 acres. Projected to be 153 townhomes and 197 single family homes (total 350 residential units).
If you would like further information on these projects and the traffic impact on The Fountains, you may want to contact the FCO’s Executive Director, Vito Senese at: vito@fcocondo.com – (561) 964-3600.
Please keep in mind that Tivoli Court, Gefion Court, and D’Este Court are no longer a part of the FCO. They each have their own management company. So Vito may not be able to respond to questions regarding these courts. Thanks. – Nancy
Lady Macbeth,
“I have bought golden opinions from all sorts of people.”
Since you are so well informed a crusader for the POA and Mr Ward has not responded, care to answer my questions?
1-What is the FSPOA’s position on not having a secure border around the Fountains?
2-How many thousands of dollars was wasted by the FCO when the FSPOA and Southern President’s insisted to install a fabric screen behind the fencing along Lantana Rd?
3-Could you tell all how many tens/hundreds of thousand of dollars over budget the Southgate House is at this time and what the final number will be?
4-Fountains Dr S could the FSPOA dead end or put up a gate at the bridge?
5- If Concert turns the roads north of the bridge over to our community, will the FSPOA do the same thing thus creating one POA?
Thank you!
Where is parcel E located?
Hi Grace, I should have added … The land for Parcel E is projected to replace the the following areas in the North: the Driving Range, the Club House, and West Golf Course Holes 1, 3, 4, 5, 15, 16, 17, 18. A new Club House and Driving Range are going to be built in the South area of the Fountains.
After a meeting was held between several members of the Trevi Ct. BOD and the site project manager for Lennar, the subject of a separate entrance/exit on Charlston ST. was discussed. This separate entrance would solve several issues with the development of Parcel D.
.
#1-With massive construction vehicles not coming and going thru the N. Gate, the road surface between the N. Gate and the entrance to Parcel D would not take severe abuse thus saving thousands of dollars to repair such damage when the project if finished.
.
#2-By eliminating all of the construction vehicles entering and leaving the N. Gate I am sure the possibility of huge traffic delays would be alleviated.
.
#3-Also eliminated, would be the muddy asphalt roadway on Fountains Drive which residents and guests alike would be tracking all over the Fountains roadways.
.
Based upon the meeting with Lennar, the PM expressed the desire, on the part of his company, to avoid using the N. Gate in favor of one on Charleston St.
.
In my opinion it appears that at this point the only possible exception to this project would be Concert, who has not voiced an opinion one way or another. Certainly not to the FCO, Lennar or to any of the members of the BOD of the courts most affected by this suggestion as far as I know.
I agree with Ernie that this looks like a potential mess heading our way. I find it interesting that the FCO just sent residents a heads up email about some construction on Fountains Drive south of Tivoli occurring this Friday, July 15. The way things are shaping up we may need daily alerts for at least the next year.
.
There are those that criticize the FCO for various failings, real and imagined, but I’ve never gone very far down that road. However, this is the moment for the FCO to step up their game and work with Concert and Lennar to make sure the proposed temporary construction entrance off Charleston is quickly put in place. The rubber is about to hit the road, literally!

Nancy,
My goodness! For all it is worth you failed to mention the FSPOA website, fountainssouthpoa.com, or the number of public forums they have held over the last 18 months, as a source of information.
If not all but most of the Arnolds questions have been asked and answered and documented so with him being so engaged how has he missed this?
The FSPOA supported Corporate By-Law changes of the FCO.Helped draft the changes as confirmed at the last regular FCO meeting. Admittedly the timing of the By-Law changes seemed to be a point of concern with no compelling reason for immediacy. I recall this was asked at an FCO Town Hall but never reasonably answered.
Tivoli Court news
Not quite here a week and I have been observing the ongoing construction behind Tivoli Court.
.
What I did find impressive is how the many improvements are being made to the buildings. Strengthening the metal railings, caulking, covering up the exposed rebar on the rear terraces, and repairing hurricane damage from more than ten years ago.
.
Necessary work that the previous incompetent FCO ignored for many years collecting 72% of money from the northern courts and wasting millions of dollars on a dining room renovation, a driving range, cart barn all scheduled to be torn down in the not too distant future.
.
Did I mention that they take the summer off instead of staying on top of the numerous serious issues that exist in this ungated gated community?
.
How much longer will it take until the other courts realize that a year round professional management year company is necessary for this community to properly function?
.
Thank you GRS and the Tivoli Court Board of Directors for finally getting all of this work done.

Howard,
For the most part you are correct that maintenance, that should have been addressed by the Property Management entity, the FCO,that was contained within the Property Management Agreements went unaddressed, aparently lacking a real “Professional” property manager?
“Now for the rest of the story”.
Believe it or not, the 72% collections for the Northern Courts was in keeping with the actual amount of “services” rendered to the “Northern Courts” , i.e. maintenance, security, etc. as confirmed by audited service requests.
.
The expenditures that you cite were those directly associated with the “Old Fountains Country Club” improvments and were funded via assessments and fees to the “Equity” members.
However all , then, 19 courts fund the Lake Worth North Security Gate, owned at that time, by the Old FCC (now Concert). The entire cost has been suggested as being in the range of a half million dollars. How that came to be? Could those funds have been better spent by the courts themselves?
.
Time will tell as to how each Association will address their ongoing needs.
