Community Safety Work Update

Community Safety Work Update:

We have started the prep work for the tree's we are planting on the culdesac near 19th and are using our personal tiller to save us a bit of money from having to rent it from Home Depot (normally $75/day) Using all of our own tools also.

We have been able to weed/till on 19th and the bordering culdesac.We used our own vehicle to save money and add bark/compost to till into the soil and get it ready for planting the tree's in late sept. This will save us a significant cost from our landscaper to plant the tree's that will block off access from 19th where people have been hopping the fence.

We will finish the prep work in that area in the next couple of weeks and do some additional basic weeding on the NGPA side to make our community look good from 19th also. Silver Lake Association was given approval to "beautify" this area so we will do exactly that.

We painted the basketball hoop lines finally and will be straightening the lines with another coat of paint shortly. Some of our board members are personally doing some blackberry bush trimming along our fence line this week and would appreciate any assistance if you are available.

We have not found any decent quotes for the Solar Lighting project in the community park and as our goal this year is to save money we will hold off on this project until we have a quote is under budget.

Just to be clear the only reason we were tight towards the end of the year last year was that we didn't budget all the foreclosures and bankrupcies that dissalowed us from being able to collect dues with the liens that were placed on those properties.Currently we only have one home that has not paid and one home that is in forclusure so our savings is looking much better now. With the option to pay the $400 dues in payments we should see a significant increase in our bank account towards the early part of next year. We had many requests to give the community options to pay and most wanted to pay half towards the beginning of the year and half towards the end of the year. We appreciate this feedback very much.

Lastly we plan to either rent/purchase a pressure sprayer to wash our white fence that surrounds our community park which has mold all over it. We will have this complete sometime in the next week or so.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide and all of your feedback. Our House Rules and Regulations document is still being edited and we will update you with the details on this as soon as we can. Please email Acer NW if you have any questions or concerns.
