The lastupdate was in 2003, again by Gillan’s Engineering. The updateconducted this year was done by Borne Engineering. Borne waspurchased Gillan’s Engineering several years ago. Fortunately,Borne Engineering had retained the files from Gillan’sEngineering, making the update smooth and without undue costof having to recreate the information. The study will be updatedagain in approximately 5 years to ensure the Association is stayingwithin the cost projections.ROCK RETAINING WALLS: The Board of Directors decidedin 1995 the method of repairing the retaining walls. Annually, therock walls will require some minor restor-ation by filling the voidswith a mixture of sand and mortar cement. This method of repairingis being done each year where needed.SNOW REMOVAL: Again this year, the shoveling of sidewalksand plowing of the drives will be done by Emerald IsleLandscaping.SWEEPING OF ALLEYS: The annual sweeping of thealleys was completed in May. This program will be done eachyear and will help preserve the asphalt. This can be expected inthe early spring of each year.SWIMMING POOL IMPROVEMENTS: There were majorimprovements completed prior to the opening of the pool this year.First, the installation of a Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS)for the wader pool and anti-entrapment drain covers for both poolswas done in accordance with the Virginia Graeme Baker FederalMandate. Secondly, the filter sand for the main pool was replaced.Finally, the entire swimming pool and wader was completely resurfacedwith an improved material called Diamond Brite. This materialis much improved compared to regular white plaster and thenew material has specks of blue flakes that can be seen on thesurface. This makes the pool look bluer.An emergency repair to the aging 30 year pool boiler wasdone in June. Budgeted for 2010 in the engineering reserve studyis the replacement of this boiler. Based on the age and inadequateefficiency of the existing boiler, a new heating system withimproved efficiency will pay for itself in just a few years with thesaving of natural gas consumption.TRASH REMOVAL & RECYCLING CONTRACTRENEWED: The three year contract with Waste Management wasset to expire on December 31, 2009. After receiving five proposalsfor trash and recycling services, the Board of Directors voted toapprove another three year contract with Waste Management.TREE CIRCLES: At the recommendation of the landscapecompany, the Board of Directors approved the installation of treecircles around all of the trees in the grass areas. During the 2009season, three applications of round-up were applied. The round-upwill kill the grass around the base of the tree and will result in dirtcircles. The reason for these circles are to protect the trees frommowing and to prevent insects that hide in the grass and attack thetrunk of the tree.continued on page 6Teen ServicesTo add your teen's name, please call Colorado Lasertype at 303-979-7499 and leave the following information: the neighborhood you live in,your age, phone number and the categories you would like included.Categories: (B) Baby-sitting * Red Cross Cert. for CPR (L) Lawn care (S)Snow removal (P) Pet & House sitting.
