Grounds Report 2011

Diane reports that she is sorry that she is unable to make this Year's meeting and promises to make a short report.

2011 was mostly a year of maintenance and upkeep of all public areas. That is, up until the snow storm hit the week before Halloween. Action Tree was dispatched shortly after the storm and was able to clear some of the more dangerous limbs in the community but they have had little time to do much else in the community.

The tree that fell over the lagoon was removed just this week. Backshall has also so busy and just didn't have time to get to it earlier. When we get a good thaw, the tree and other limbs will be removed from the breeder pond.

There was an upgrade in the tennis court this year. Diane thanks Barbara McGoldrich and John Murray for overseeing that project. The tennis court is one of our well used assets.

Diane would like to thank all of you who do work in the community, some of which no one ever knows about. Special thanks go to John Krizko who just showed up with his chainsaw to take care of several trees that fell over Lake Trail East in the Oct snow storm. And John Murray for his 10 O’clock tree removal on Alpine and many days of clean-up along with Dave Clark and tim Lukas, Ruth Chaney and Chris Allyn. Thank you again.

Respectfully submitted,

Diane
