- PARK MAINTENANCE:
Carlos Oppenheimer has been opening the park in the AM. Thanks to Carlos.
There are trees encroaching on our fence/wall area. Contacted KUA who have responded with an email that they will be sending someone out to review and trim. - POOL REPAIRS – The County Health Inspector indicated that the pool deck must have the deck drains replaced and the shower drain cleaned out. Pool company has arranged for installers to do it. We first checked to see if it was possible to do ourselves. It is not, as they need to be cut out of the concrete decking and replaced with a sealant. Voted to approve approx. price of $900 for 55 feet of drainage and installation. Price adjustment may depend on actual footage measurement.
