President’s Report

  • There was a leak around new fitness room door. Lee glass came to seal and caulk. Residents: please inform the board if you find any leaks around the new door/in the clubhouse.
  • Self-closing Bathroom hinges for outdoor will be installed this month
  • Exterminator coming to clubhouse on October 1
  • W Cypress Mill Street: Brandon met with a city councilman to review zoning map to find out more information about unfinished Cypress Mill Rd. Corner of Sangre and 19th is zoned commercial general and we are told this would be difficult to change to residential.
