What is it and what does it do?
The POA is the MASTER Association of Aberdeen. Aberdeen has 24 communities or villages (also referred to as Home Owners associations or HOAs) and also has the Aberdeen Golf and Country Club. The POA has a Board of Directors as does every HOA and as does the Country Club. The Aberdeen POA is one of the largest property associations in Palm Beach County. Its membership includes 2407 homes, the country club and some commercial properties that are required to pay POA dues.
There are numerous committees and an approximate $4,600,000 annual budget. A significant portion of the budget is the Comcast contract. The POA responsibilities include all common areas and all 43 Aberdeen lakes. It is responsible for all fertilization, landscaping, tree trimming, reclaimed water and Security. (The Palm Beach Sheriff has been hired by the POA.) The POA is also responsible for the Architectural Review Board (ARB), the phone directory, signage, and the management of the East Clubhouse. In the event of a hurricane, there are gates that the POA can open to allow excess water out and into the canals – with permission of the appropriate governmental authority and also since there are no sewers in Aberdeen, removal of waste is accomplished through Lift Stations which the POA maintains and for which it is responsible. The POA meets monthly, (except for July and August) and all residents are always invited to attend meetings and, of course, view the website, Aberdeenpoa.com.
