Project Update – April 16, 2012
With a typical Colorado winter we were not able to make much progress on the recreational facilities improvement. Now that we are into the much anticipated Spring Time in the Rockies we are again at work on the improvements albeit somewhat sporadic.
The multi-play court has been repaired and the chain link fence re-installed. We are in the process of negotiating with a couple tennis court contractors to apply the finish surface on the multi-play court and to repair and re-surface the tennis court. We want to consider various options for the court repair and for the finish coat to minimize our annual repair cost while remaining within the cost constraints of the improvement budget.
The grade for the west sidewalk has been completed and the sidewalk was poured on Thursday before Easter. With the sidewalk concrete pour complete we can now finish the installation of the ornamental fence which will allow better security for the pool area. The west sidewalk was considered the major challenge for this improvement phase and it is good to have this item in our rearview mirror. We can now start to do the detail planning and implementation of the west end landscaping.

Cracks in the multi-play court were fixed by removing old tennis court surface down to the dirt, then filling them back in.
