President’s Message
Members of Barranca Mesa Pool,
The Board is busy preparing for the upcoming 2022 summer. We look forward to a warm and wonderful summer of fun, leisure, and exciting activities at our pool.
Our staff have been hired, and are excited to help all of us enjoy the pool safely. The new heater / boiler has been ordered and should be installed in the month of April. Our maintenance committee has formed and has already saved us a lot of money. Matt Hemphill evaluated our chemical controller and repaired it, saving the pool more than $5000.
We will need more help this year to get the Pyracantha around the pool under control, and maybe a garden
committee can be formed for this and perhaps gardening around the front of the pool to make it more visually appealing.
There are positions on the board available for anyone interested in helping make this pool vibrant and viable for the years to come.
Please spread the word about our pool, and help to increase our membership with all of your friends!
See you at the pool!
Jeremy
President, BMPA

Please seriously consider finding a way to give some time to help support the maintenance of our pool. Consider relieving one of our board members. Join the gardening or maintenance effort, or become snack bar coordinator. We cannot afford to hire all the maintenance to be done, while we know our membership is talented and capable!
We are going to be creating a calendar linked to the website where tasks are listed. Come at your convenience in short blocks of time.
Membership’s Message
Assessment and fees for 2022:
$500 annual assessment ($455 base plus $45 work deposit)
$100 to rent a membership from the pool
$250 to purchase a new membership from the pool
Each membership has 10 guest passes per summer. Bringing more guests? $5 per guest when you check in at the front desk.
Please note: BMPA needs to have all forms/waivers with your assessment each year. Download and print them from our website to mail in with a check to P.O. Box 4, or complete it all online here. This is due by 1 May to avoid the $25 late fee.
As for the work deposit, we plan to hold our Spring work party on 30 April. Each work party begins at 8:00 a.m. and lasts for three to four hours. It’s a great opportunity to learn how the pool operates, work alongside other members, as well as earn your work deposit back.

Get to know your Manager: Caleb Kerstiens
Hello!
My name is Caleb and I am extremely excited to be returning as manager for another pool season. I think last season went great but there was things we could have done better as employees as a whole. We look forward to fulfilling those things and making this the best season yet! See you at the pool!
