Building and Grounds (B&G) is well underway making plans for 2024. There’s a lot of work to do, and as always, the budget and spare time are the limiting factors. Please consider volunteering! We’ll provide more details on volunteer opportunities soon.
The list below is current as of February 24th. We’ll post new articles as approvals and work progress.
Capital Projects
Approved
As of the February meeting, the board has approved the capital expenditures below.
- The purchase of 10 new Lifetime brand picnic tables for under the pavilions.
- The purchase of replacement components for all five grills.
We should note that the parking lot repair (still pending to be completed this spring) was approved in 2023. That project will be completed in the coming months.
Proposed
March 2024 Update: All of the projects proposed below were approved in the March board meeting. We’ll be posting updated articles as the projects progress.
In the March meeting, we will bring the following projects to be voted upon. A limited budget will likely prevent completing all these projects; some work may be deferred to 2025 and beyond.
- A package of fence repairs (quotes received):
- Replacement of the large gate at the north end of the property (near the playground).
- Re-seating of four heaved posts in the aluminum fence surrounding the pool deck.
- Replacement of three gate locks.
- Repairs to the fence in the northwest corner of the property.
- Replacement of pool deck concrete pads. This season, we intend to focus on the section near the entrance and Funbrella. Additional work in the south perimeter of the pool deck is also up for review.
- Replacement of three steel doors. The interior doors for the men’s and women’s restrooms and the exterior door on the pump house are candidates for 2024.
- Installation of a gas fire pit and seating area near the pavilions. We have a connection that may provide a one-time significant discount on materials.
We are also working on a plan to begin regular repair and/or replacement of the pool deck lounge chairs.
Other Projects
The projects will likely come from the B&G budget, and not be considered capital projects. In addition to budgetary limitations, these projects are also time-permitting.
