PROTECTION OF YOUR ASSETS.
Maple Leaf has an annual budget of over $4,000,000 to fund operating costs and capital expenditures. There are many things homeowners and visitors can do to assist in reducing expenditures. Examples are:

• Fitness Center – Do not abuse the equipment. The equipment, aerobic and strength, constantly need repair due to misuse. Please do not drop the weights on the universal machine. You should wipe the soles of your shoes prior to using the equipment so debris does not enter the mechanical parts of the fitness equipment.

• Swimming Pools – The life of pool furniture, particularly chaise lounges, is continually shortened by suntan oil contacting the vinyl surfaces. You should use a towel on the furniture when using suntan oil. We spend approximately $3,000 annually just to replace or repair pool furniture. Guests with small children have permitted toddlers to swim with diapers. Accidents in the Kiddie Pool require us to close the pool until all health requirements are met.

• Golf Course – There are hundreds of ball marks on the greens and divots in the fairways that are not repaired each day.       Repaired ball marks and divots are overnight successes. Those not repaired take weeks to recover.

• Air Conditioning – Staff continually enters clubhouses and the Fitness Center and finds the air conditioners running when the facilities are not being used. Please turn-off the air conditioners or reset the temperature when the facilities are not being used. The CanAm has six air conditioners, five in the Queensway, two in the Fitness Center, nine in the Country Club, etc. Do not set the temperature below 72 degrees for use and set at 80 degrees or above when not in use.

• Lighting – Like air conditioning, please turn it off when not in use. There are instances most nights when security finds all the lights and air conditioning on in clubhouses after 11 p.m.

• Dumpsters – Many homeowners put garbage in clubhouse or maintenance dumpsters, particularly when departing for the summer. Your tax dollars pay for your garbage and recycle to be collected at your curbside. However if you put it in a Park dumpster each pickup costs up to $350 per dumpster and it is your lot rent paying that fee. We are subject to penalty fees if the dumpsters are filled past the lid.

• Ice Machines – There are ice machines at each clubhouse and they are for the use of homeowners at public and club events. It is not intended that their use be for individual homeowner events.

• Paper Products – Paper towels and other products disappear from our facilities. Their use is intended while using the facilities only.
