Bañez Brothers will mow the week-end of 16 May, weed and feed done for the proper areas.
Volunteers are required for weeding and general tending of the areas around all the signs at Ensign Bay and Admiralty Bay as well as Ensign Bay and Bay Shore. The new flower bed around the sign at Admiralty and Bay Shore will be tended by the owner of the house on that same corner. The Bañez Brothers will help with the vetch vines around all the flower beds at our signs.
Volunteers will be needed a bit later in the summer to help sand the signs at all entry points and paint them. Mike Bridges will be putting a task force together later this summer. Owners should contact Management or the ACC via the website if interested in volunteering.
There is a very large cotton wood in the north east corner of Tract I that is causing problems with homeowners and fences. Mike Bridges will go out for bids to get this problem tree taken down.
Mike Bridges will be going out for bids to replace all the split rail fences.
Deanne was requested to get with Parks and Rec. to find out who is in charge of KFQD Park. The whole Tot Lot needs to be replaced. The equipment is over 20 years old and needs to have lots of care but best if replaced.
The Bañez Brothers will be leaving next summer for the military so the grounds mowing contract will be put out for bid. If there are any teens in the area who are interested please contact us with your name and number so we can get a bid proposal to you. This is not limited to teens, if there is someone who is retired out there who might be interested just let us know through the web site.
