Bulletin Board, News Policies Approved by Directors

Formal policies governing items placed on bulletin boards in the clubhouse and outlining material that can be put into the Bellasera newsletter were approved by the Board of Directors at its April meeting.

Bulletin Board Policy

The bulletin board policy, moreover, allows for satellite bulletin boards to be located at each of the community's mailbox stations - a Communications committee project in the planning stages.

The directors approved two types of bulletin boards:

An official Bellasera Community Association bulletin board, at the front door of the clubhouse, will contain information concerning Bellasera board and committee meetings, a monthly calendar of events, and Board-approved social activities that are of interest to all residents. No commercial advertisements will be permitted on any of the official Community bulletin boards.

The future satellite boards will contain a subset of the official Community bulletin board.

The second type of board will be a "Residents' Information" board, located at the clubhouse. This will contain information that is considered useful to a majority of our residents. Postings on this board must relate to an appropriate resident activity or commercial venture, with strict maintenance rules.

Each posting on the Residents' Information board must be submitted to, approved and posted by the Bellasera Community Manager. Following approval, these postings will be marked with a date that is 60 days in the future. On that date, the positing will be removed. A renewal, for an additional 60 days, may be permitted only with the approval of the Community Manager.

Items posted without a stamped "pull date" will be removed.

All postings and removals will be made by the Community Manager.

Newsletter Policy

The newsletter policy sets forth subjects that may be included in the publication. Among these are articles on events or programs arranged exclusively for residents or homeowners, such as classes, with or without fees, where commercial solicitation is not the primary focus; information on committee meetings, rules and regulations, community events; and notices of meeting, events and activities extending beyond the Bellasera community that may be of interest to residents, based on the experience and judgment of the editorial staff.

The publication doesn't solicit or accept advertising; it isn't intended to publicize corporate entities, commercial organizations, businesses or licensed salespeople. Announcements regarding Bellasera resident business ventures may be included in the newsletter once only, if newsworthy, and if they are not intended to advertise.

Newsletter content will be determined using journalistic guidelines generally considered appropriate for a balanced presentation of news and information. The editorial staff will use its best judgment, consistent with the policy statement, to make decisions regarding content, and is under no obligation to use all material submitted.

Copies of the full policies are available from the Community Manager.
