You will never make 110,000 Villagers happy. I like my pool water about 82, which is what I set my heater in NY to. My wife likes it closer to 70 and doesn't mind 65. I had a professor in college who would not swim at Jones Beach after the water temp hit 60.
Personally, I think anyone who wants the temp over 90 should just buy a hot tub, and anyone who likes it under 70 should move to Norway. Split the difference, and 80 should make the majority (not all) happy
If chillers are needed to accomplish this, how about a TEMPORARY 1 year assessment (sorry, I used the "a" word) of $3/mo in the amenity fee = 36x 16000 homes=$576,000, which if the $6000 cost is correct = 96 pools. Might have enough left over to provide free SPF 376 sun block as well.
OK, I'll duck for cover now
I did not know that special assessments were possible. It would defeat the purpose of capping the annual percentage increase in our amenity fees based on the CPI if additional assessments could be made during the year.
