First off, I want to thank everyone who donated to the employee holiday fund. This year end bonus really means a lot to my staff. They have shared with me how the bonus helps them provide a better Christmas for their families. The staff starts asking around mid December and I explain that it is donations from the community. Every year the community has come through, and for that I am very grateful.
The new year finds the maintenance staff in project mode. Leaf clean up, tree pruning, accessory painting, etc. The staff is also repairing the perimeter fence of Heritage Ranch as well as cleaning brush along the walking trail.These common area tasks allow the maintenance department to keep dedicated employees working during the dormant months as well as complete projects for the HOA at a cheaper rate than an outside contractor would charge.
What’s with all the digging around # 1 green?
Last week the irrigation system was drained for leak repair at #1 and 9 green areas. While the system was dry, two stripped valves on #1 and valves on #2 and 3 were replaced.
Why were the lake wells running when the lake was full?
The wells are powered by 75 hp motors which are located 800′ below the surface. These motors are turned on periodically to protect against bearings freezing up. By simply turning the wells a few times during the winter months, we are extending the motor’s life span, and in turn, saving on costly repair bills.
A commercial backhoe will arrive tomorrow for work on golf course and common area projects. It looks to be a busy week so look for posts and pics to follow.
