Dear Homeowners,

I want to take a moment to recognize Carlos Garcia, our HOA Secretary, for stepping up to help with the community trash situation.

Carlos and I each worked independently on our own schedules to collect and move the common area trash to our personal bins for todays scheduled pickup. As oversight for the common area and community pool, we both felt it was important to take action to keep our community clean and welcoming while transitioning to a new board of directors that can come up with a permanent solution to common area trash disposal as the county will not pick up 2209 Canonero as its not a residential address.

Thank you, Carlos, for your commitment and willingness to go above and beyond for Surrey Ridge.

Sincerely,
Scott Davis
Vice President, CPO
Surrey Ridge Community Association, Inc.

Why LSI Matters for Our Community Pool

What is LSI (in plain English)?

The Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) is a simple balance score for pool water. It shows if the water will eat away at surfaces (too low/negative) or leave chalky scale (too high/positive). The sweet spot is close to 0, ideally between about −0.3 and +0.3.

Why you should care

  • Balanced water protects the pool finish and equipment, reducing repairs and keeping the surface looking great.
  • It improves comfort and safety: chlorine works as intended and there’s less eye and skin irritation.
  • It reduces waste and saves money by avoiding big swings and emergency chemical fixes.

How we keep it balanced

  • We use the Watergram to check LSI quickly by lining up pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, temperature, and stabilizer values. See the visual here: surreyridgehoarecall.org/watergram.jpg.
  • In line with Florida Administrative Code 64E‑9.004(13), VP & CPO Scott Davis tests on‑site with a Taylor K‑2006 kit (since 8/15/2025). This measures free and total chlorine (DPD), pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, and cyanuric acid—everything needed to stay in the safe zone daily.

Targets we aim for

  • pH around 7.4–7.6 so chlorine works well and water feels comfortable.
  • Total alkalinity about 80–120 ppm to keep pH steady.
  • Calcium hardness roughly 250–400 ppm for plaster/pebble surfaces to protect the finish.
  • Cyanuric acid around 30–50 ppm when using stabilized chlorine.
  • LSI near zero (−0.3 to +0.3) to prevent corrosion or scale.

What this means for homeowners

Expect clearer water, fewer closures, and a longer‑lasting pool surface and equipment. Keeping LSI on target protects our shared investment while keeping swimming comfortable and safe.

Pool Reopened, Legally and Safely on April 29th, 2025

The pool has been legally reopened following a licensed CFC plumbing repair VP Scott Davis had to pay for out of pocket so that the pool could reopen, which was subsequently approved by the Florida Department of Health and issued a satisfactory health report. Janelle Marazon emailed both the Department of Health and homeowners within Surrey Ridge Community to make false claims that the licensed CFC repair was illegal and/or was done by VP Scott Davis. She also made defamatory comments, falsely claiming that video footage from the pool equipment room had been deleted by Mr. Davis. These were untrue statements made by Marazon and the debacle caused great frustration amongst the Department of Health. DOH intentionally made Scott Davis the "Person in Charge" on the Association's Health Department Permit so that he could remain the responsible, accountable liaison, certified operator and trusted contact for the Department Inspectors.

  • Plumbing repaired by American Veteran Plumbing LLC – a licensed, DBPR-verified CFC contractor on 4/29/2025.
  • Cost: $295 (vs. $750+ proposal to dig alone by the former vendor)
  • No trenching, no rerouting, no inflated costs – saved homeowners $5,705.00
  • DOH approved reopening after full documentation submitted
  • Pool chemical levels verified: pH 7.4, Free Chlorine 7.5 ppm were brought down from the prior (0 ppm, 10.5-11.0ppm and 15ppm documented on video) levels that were outside of acceptable range by Department of Health standards.

Water restored to:

  • Cabana restroom and shower
  • Pool shower and fill line
  • Irrigation (pending one remaining cut pipe which was done to access the surge tank during repairs. This pipe was originally worked on when Oliver Morgan hired a landscaper from Bel-Aire_X with no CFC license to work on potable water pipes which was unlawful.)

The repair coordinated by Davis, saved thousands in HOA funds and avoided a dues increase. All work was done transparently and lawfully under homeowner proxy authority using a licensed CFC plumber.

Update: After the satisfactory inspection, Recalled President Janelle Marazon attempted to interfere with the Department of Health report by logging into security cameras and submitting photos of Mr. Davis as well as photos of licensed CFC certified plumbing work. She made false claims about unlicensed work, even inferred that Mr. Davis had done the work himself. These statements transmitted by her to third parties were defamatory and false. DOH officials Alan Dang and Andrew Halula rejected these claims and confirmed the pool remains open and compliant despite her attempts to have the satisfactory DOH inspection report revoked for political purposes after her retaliatory attempt to remove VP Davis from the board of directors on April 14th 2025 as a last minute agenda item.

Scott Davis – Pool Maintenance & Reimbursement Issues

Scott Davis is the only reason the pool has re-opened and remained open. Fighting off what can only be interpreted in his opinion as sabotage, former directors removing hoses from the pool (while filling) and intimidating neighbors into disallowing water usage all to politicize the community amenity. Scott has taken decisive and necessary steps to preserve HOA assets, protect homeowner amenities, and ensure safety and security of residents – all at his own personal expense. Meanwhile directors subject to recall may have abused their authority, logged into security cameras, eavesdropped on his conversations, intimidated residents, ejected homeowners from the common area and pool, taken unauthorized photos and videos of Mr. Davis while working in the common area and transmitted them to third parties, Dept of Health, homeowners, making false defamatory claims of wrongdoing, which were immediately rejected by the Dept of Health inspectors at every level. Mr. Davis has an excellent relationship and rapport with the Dept of Health, has the same CPO certification that the inspectors have and works closely with them in concert to ensure the safety and well-being of the residents while remaining in compliance and above board.

Ongoing Financial Hardships Created by Recalled Directors

The directors subject to recall and the management company have appear to have worked together to create financial hardships for the proxy holder and homeowner representative, Mr. Davis. Time and time again, Mr. Davis has fronted money at his own expense for pool chemicals and maintenance to ensure amenities remain open for homeowners and their children. He has come out of pocket with emergency repairs using a vetted and licensed CFC plumber to repair a water pipe damaged on video while under a community association manager that has been served multiple curative notices. The same management company that gaslit the community, closed the pool without authority or board vote, misled homeowners about a non-existent leak in the pool in what appears to be an effort to try and cover up for chlorine levels that violated Dept of Health standards, which would actually be a legitimate reason to require pool closure. (Not a non-existant leak) When I tried to tell the community about what was really happening? They retaliated, and tried to crush me, recall me and strip me of my officer role. On March 10, 2025 at an open noticed board meeting, Janelle Marazon skipped over most of the agenda items so she could spend most of our time trying to enact an improper censorship policy preventing Mr. Davis from contacting 911, 811, the Dept of Health or any other governing agency prior to getting approval from her and the board in what appears to be complete narrative control. Emails exist barring officers and directors from communicating with each other outside of contact with her directly. Recalled directors voted on this 3/10/25 censorship policy in what appears to be a way to manufacture "due cause" and create the recipe to "manufacture cause for removal" of a director, however within a week the entire board was served with certified letters by Mr. Davis, formally objecting to this unethical policy of censorship that would prevent him from whistleblowing to prevent injury to homeowners and their children if he saw an unsafe condition. Not another word has ever been spoken about this censorship policy once those certified letters were served, however since then they have attempted to remove Mr. Davis from the board on April 14, a retaliatory and improper act to damage the homeowner led recall represenatative representing the 56% will of the association voting members. This attempt to recall Mr. Davis failed because homeowners were finally paying attention to what was going on at these Board Meetings which went from 7-8 people on zoom call to instantly 50-60 per meeting!

Broken Promises of Reimbursement

Despite repeated promises of reimbursement from recalled Director Janelle Marazon at open noticed board meetings, including the June 16, 2025 meeting where she promised and assured all homeowners that if Mr. Davis came out of pocket to continue supporting the pool, she would immediately reimburse him – no such timely reimbursement would occur/strong>. They did the bare minimum, slow-paid nearly 90-day-old out-of-pocket expenses only to ignore the current reimbursement requests for extended periods of time, the opposite of what was promised on recorded June 16th board meeting minutes.

On June 27, 2025, Scott Davis submitted a reimbursement request for pool chemicals and everything that was previously approved at the June 16 open meeting, with board resolution votes confirming the motion passed. Despite this formal agreement, no reimbursement has had provided per the board's own resolution while Oliver Morgan had paid himself, sent funds to Sarah Webner for nearly $6,000.00 and delayed reimbursement the director who works for free and finances the association operations out of his own pockets without timely reimbursement.

Darwin Johnson's False Statement

At the written recall rejection meeting, Darwin Johnson read a prepared statement that had been written for him, claiming that "the board had not withheld reimbursement payments to director Davis." This statement is 100 % false and provably so.

Mr. Davis has the receipts and documentation proving that reimbursements have been withheld despite board resolutions and promises to swiftly take care of them. Everything Mr. Davis has stated can be proven TRUE with documentation that many homeowners have already seen. The technology age allows to data to swiftly move from from computer to display, analyzing every aspect of claims vs reality. There is no point in not telling the truth as the truth is easily verifiable with data. Mr. Davis has worked in common areas for months streaming 4k gopro footage to prevent false allegations of wrongdoing by directors and a management company. Despite knowing that I am recording for my own safety and truth defenses, they have attempted time and time again to make false claims about Mr. Davis to no avail. The TRUTH IS THE GREATEST DEFENSE.

The evidence is clear:

The recalled directors have systematically withheld reimbursements, created censorship policies and harassed Mr. Davis while forcing him to personally fund essential pool maintenance to keep amenities open for the community, meanwhile reimbursing themselves instantly, funding attorneys with homeowner money and even paying vendors that have not shown up to work in 28 days straight! Mr. Davis is willing to endure the hardships because he knows there are good replacement directors ready to come on board and do what is best for the community.

Unsatisfactory Department of Health Inspections and Vendor Issues

Pool Vendor Terminated

The pool vendor relationship was concluded for many reasons, many issues were cited as "UNSATISFACTORY" by documented Department of Health standards which were cited on publicly displayed DOH Inspection Reports.

Unsatisfactory Report

Key Issues:

  • Periodic Chlorine Levels: Free chlorine levels above 10 ppm multiple times and even as low as ZERO, violating DOH safety standards (PROVEN IN DEPT OF HEALTH DH921 LOGS AND DOCUMENTED ON VIDEO)
  • Chemical Tank Neglect: Chemical tanks repeatedly left empty for days
  • Equipment Damage: Plumbing work on potable freshwater line connected to municipal water supply without CFC plumbing license (documented on VIDEO),
  • Inaccurate chlorine logs: Up to 8.1ppm difference from DH921 log entry to CPO testing on video.

Oliver Morgan and Management Company Gaslighting

Oliver Morgan of Morgan Property Solutions and the management company engaged in systematic gaslighting of the community regarding pool issues:

  • False Leak Claims: Misled homeowners about a non-existent pool leak to obfuscate chemical violations that were unsafe for homeowners and their families (10ppm+ exceeds DOH limit) VERIFIED ON VIDEO.
  • Unauthorized Pool Closure: Closed the pool without board vote or proper authority (PROVEN IN EMAIL DOCUMENTATION)
  • Retaliation: Attempted to prevent Scott Davis from contacting DOH and other authorities via various methods not limited to taking votes on an unethical censorship policy designed to prevent Dept of Health contact when violations occurred without first getting approval.
  • Financial Mismanagement: Paid a janitation vendor who wasn't showing up for 28 days, while appearing to withold and delay reimbursements to Scott Davis

CPO Certification and Professional Standards

Scott Davis – Certified Pool Operator (CPO)

Scott Davis holds the same Certified Pool Operator (CPO) certification as Department of Health inspectors, ensuring professional-level pool maintenance and safety standards.

CPO Responsibilities and Standards:

  • Water Chemistry Management: Maintaining proper pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels
  • Equipment Monitoring: Regular inspection and maintenance of filtration systems and chemical management systems
  • Safety Compliance: Ensuring all operations meet DOH, FAC and safety standards
  • Documentation: Maintaining detailed logs of all pool maintenance activities anc chemical logs
  • Emergency Response: Immediate action on safety concerns and equipment failures
  • Regulatory Liaison: Direct communication with DOH inspectors and state government officials

Professional Relationship with Department of Health

Scott Davis has established an excellent working relationship with DOH officials, including:

  • Alan Dang: DOH Inspector who approved pool reopening
  • Andrew Halula: DOH Official who rejected false claims from Janelle Marazon that the pool was repaired illegally
  • Person in Charge Designation: DOH specifically designated Scott Davis as the responsible party on the association's health permit
  • Trusted Contact: DOH prefers to work directly with Scott Davis due to his professionalism and expertise

Contrast

The difference between CPO-managed pool maintenance:

  • Cost Savings: Thousands saved through proper analysis of the core issues and executing the right solutions. $295 to repair the plumbing, instead of $6000.00 for Oliver Morgan's preferred vendors he attempted to contract for unnecessary work not required by DOH.
  • Safety Improvement: Zero safety violations since CPO took over, Langlier Saturation Index balanced water for the first time in 4 years.
