Summary
The Greenwood Stormwater Board authorized a public–private partnership agreement, not to exceed $7,450, with the Summerfield Village Homeowners Association to replace two pond fountains; the HOA will update the O&M manual and the agreement requires legal department terms and authorization for the stormwater superintendent to sign.
The Greenwood Stormwater Board authorized a public–private partnership agreement with the Summerfield Village Homeowners Association on July 9 to support replacement of two pond fountains, not to exceed $7,450.
Paul Knaertzer, president of the Summerfield Village HOA, described three neighborhood ponds; two existing fountain units are no longer repairable and replacements cost between about $9,000 (quote from Solitude) and about $13,000 (quote from ASI Aquatics). Knaertzer said the HOA includes approximately 335 homes and recently raised annual dues to $165. He said the HOA’s available cash was about $12,000, an amount he described as approximately half of the association’s savings.
Board members and the HOA discussed preferred contractors; Knaertzer said Solitude (the HOA’s maintenance contractor) offered a discount and is the HOA’s preferred vendor. The board confirmed on-site electrical and discussed algae-control and maintenance concerns.
A motion was made to authorize a public–private partnership agreement with the Summerfield Village Homeowners Association for pond aeration and fountain replacement for the East and South ponds in Summerfield Village, in an amount not to exceed $7,450, with terms and conditions to be determined by the legal department and the requirement that the O&M manual be updated and recorded. The motion authorized the stormwater superintendent to sign the agreement on the board’s behalf. The motion passed by voice vote; all present board members said "aye."
