Residents press board on curbs, storm debris, mosquito control and meeting microphones
Summary
During public comment residents raised concerns about crumbling curbs and storm-debris removal, mosquito control service at a pond, and asked for microphones at meetings; the board directed staff to follow up on inspections and service notes.
During the audience-comments portion, residents raised several maintenance and accessibility concerns. Joyce Welsh reported that the curbs in front of her residence are crumbling and asked about landscape storm debris removal; Chair Lonergan asked Welsh to provide her address to District Engineer Kurt Heath for inspection and noted debris removal is underway. Resident Tim Sweeney asked about using microphones during meetings; Lonergan said she had submitted the request and asked Grounds Superintendent Tim Gatz to be copied on related emails.
Resident Susan Napolitano questioned whether awarding contracts to the lowest bidder is best practice; District Manager Chuck Adams responded that he has worked with Premier Lakes and deems their service level superior to SOLitude. Supervisor Janice Benedetti said a technician treated a pond for mosquitos the next day after a resident raised concerns and noted problems at a particular pond; she also reported that a resident and builder had installed sprinklers in the lakes and suggested notifying the community so residents can decide whether to pay for installations, and the board discussed whether to adopt a policy or handle requests individually.
