Cobblestone HOA asks board for 50% match on pond fountains; board requests clearer pricing
Summary
Cobblestone HOA president requested a public-private 50% cost-share for three pond fountains (each with lighting). Board members asked the HOA to return with separate pricing for fountains without lights to clarify electrical costs before any funding decision.
Aaron Zerry, president of the Cobblestone Homeowners Association, asked the Greenwood Storm Water Board for a public-private partnership to cover half the cost of installing three pond fountains (each proposed with lighting) across HOA ponds. He said the HOA represents 138 units across roughly 95 acres and that the three fountains and associated electrics were estimated by the applicant as roughly $44,000 total with about $11,270 attributed to electrical/light assemblies based on vendor figures.
Board members pressed for clearer line items and questioned whether lighting was included in unit pricing. Staff and the board asked Zerry to request a vendor quote that separates the cost of fountains alone from lighting and wiring so the board could evaluate a possible 50% match more clearly. Zerry agreed to return at a future meeting with clarified pricing.
No board funding decision was made at the meeting; the item was continued pending the applicant’s revised cost breakdown.
