VII. COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION MANAGER’S REPORT- Report submitted
Debbie Sainz gave an update on a water line break at the Countryway facility near the tennis courts. One of the water lines located directly below one of the cypress trees broke and was inaccessible for repair due to burlap and metal wrapping around the root ball. As a result, the tree had to be cut down and removed so the plumber could gain access to the line and make the appropriate repairs.
Debbie also reported a leak at the Village Pool which was discovered upon review of the monthly financials and utility billings. Once the leak was repaired attempts were made to get a credit from the utility company which was denied based on two criteria.
In the month of February, the defective carpet tiles in the management office will be replaced under the manufacturer’s warranty.
Request was made by Nancy Sells that the monthly violation logs be distributed to each voting member for their neighborhood at the monthly VM meetings again.
