Mountainaire board approves up to $3,000 for playground repairs after reports of vandalism
Summary
The Mountainaire HOA board approved up to $3,000 for playground repairs after landscaper reports of vandalism attributed to young children; the property manager will contact a vendor to inspect all equipment and the board plans community outreach to encourage homeowner monitoring.
The Mountainaire Homeowner Association Board of Directors on April 13 approved up to $3,000 for repairs to community playground equipment after a monthly landscaper report documented vandalism and damage.
The decision, moved by President Channing Melone and seconded by newly introduced Secretary Caralee Bradshaw, passed with no objections. The repairs include replacing a broken Plexiglas window and repairing a broken fitting. The Property Manager said they will contact a likely vendor, Northwest Playgrounds, to inspect the entire playground for safety and complete the repairs.
Board members discussed enforcement and prevention measures after witnesses reported that the damage appears to be caused mainly by young children. The board agreed to pursue community awareness measures, including a mailer to homeowners and renters asking residents to self-monitor and speak with household members about the damage. The Property Manager confirmed the management company (VIS) can mail notices to renters and tenants.
The funding was approved from the HOA budget and is intended to cover immediate safety repairs; the Property Manager will return with vendor estimates and timing. The board did not authorize any enforcement fines at this meeting.
Next steps: the Property Manager will reach out to vendors for inspection and repair, and the board will proceed with community outreach and communication to residents about monitoring and reporting damage.
