Pool Report
Thanks to neighbor Clare Bruce, who did the welding of the keycard lock system to the gate, we were able to get the lock installed before the Memorial Day weekend. Vicki has all the cards programmed to allow owner access from 8am to 9pm. A few 24/7 access cards have been distributed to pool maintenance personnel and board members. Getting the pool ready was a real group effort. Special thanks go to James Rolf, who completed the fencing for the chemical enclosure. Harold Isaacson & Arv Hess pressure washed the pool deck. Board members cleaned the bathrooms, removed and rinsed the rubber flooring, and replaced the wax ring and flange on the boy’s toilet, cleaned out the office, installed a new first aid cabinet, and hung new signs. Makoto put out all the furniture and will continue cleaning the pool between the contractor’s visits. For everyone who helped, a big thanks from all. If your name isn’t mentioned here, we thank you too!
The water is currently 87 degrees. We will attempt to keep it close to 85. The chlorine system that was installed last year is working great – chemical levels have been very consistent, at optimal levels. Please help us keep the area clean. Pool toys are available but should be put away after use. Please do not allow children to leave toys at the bottom of the pool or in the drains.
Sasha and Jasmine Stroud have agreed to help with keeping the pool area and bathrooms clean. Thank you! Jasmine has lifeguard certification, so if you want to hire someone to help supervise children at the pool if you have a small group, she is qualified to do this. Contact her directly to make arrangements.
The pool cover will be removed in the mornings if it looks like it will be a good swim day. On very rainy days, we will leave it in place. It will be replaced in the evenings.
Common Areas
Ken received several bids for maintaining the common areas and graveling the parking lot. We have accepted Adam Scholtz’s bid (A Simple Landscape). The parking lot should be repaved with gravel within the next week. Work on the upper area where the playground equipment used to be will be done in the fall.
Architecture Committee
Remember that any roof replacements, exterior work including painting, decks, mailboxes, etc. must be approved by the architecture committee. Submit plans to architecture@marcheri.org. See the CC&Rs for what requires approval, and if you aren’t sure, please send it anyway. We are currently reviewing one request to install an outdoor storage shed.
Please abide by covenants to keep your yards and sidewalks maintained.
Respectfully submitted,
Vicki Bengeult
Secretary
