A resident raised concerns during public comment about contradictory signage at the Palm Ridge facility and about the size and placement of posted rules at the RJ (or RH) Johnson walking track.

Hugh Martin told the board that a sign in the Palm Ridge parking lot reads “Pedestrian traffic only” while a second sign nearer the building reads “no unauthorized vehicles beyond this point,” creating apparent confusion about which vehicles, if any, are permitted. Martin also said the walking-track rules are posted in a way that makes them hard to read from the walkway and criticized some rule language such as the prohibition on running combined with a direction to use a different outdoor track for running.

General Manager Steven Erno was in the room and the board asked him to take the resident’s observations under advisement. Director John Chattin said the properties committee will tour facilities over the next month and a half and will review signage and related issues.

No formal policy change or vote occurred; the board recorded the report as public comment and assigned the properties committee and management to review the signage and consider corrective action.
