Section 5: OPA Board Subject: Fair Housing Act Violation? Msg# 1215055

Linda, thanks for the comprehensive response explaining OPA policy.
One observation, given Bruce Bright’s concerns expressed at the Aquatics Committee meeting, the Board should ask for a written legal opinion that events such as this Wine sipping event held in the Community Hall, age restricted, and promoted by the Recs & Parks Department are somehow exempt from any Fair Housing Act Restrictions regarding age. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: If Gary Miller wants to have an event he can do so at Sports Core Pool, bring in refreshments, and pay the rental fee like any other party held at this venue. One of the issues of having it at the Yacht Club Pool comes to parking as the County requires parking places exclusive for the restaurant, with a waiver provided by the County for Family Fun Nights. Gary should petition to change the name of Family Fun Night to just Fun Night, and approach the food and beverage manager to offer "adult" options for food other than hamburgers and hotdogs. The "adults" can just hang out on the pool side of the tiki bar all night where the singles can mingle, which was one of the reasons given for Sunsets and Cocktails. Problem solved. On another note, the Paint and Sip is not the only sponsored event held at Ocean Pines. Octoberfest is sponsored by the Chamber yet advertised and held in Ocean Pines (White Horse Park). Chamber just pays the rental fee just like the Paint and Sip. There are also events/classes for Aquatics and Racquet that registration goes through Ocean Pines, but the revenue goes to the instructor of the class. |
