FROM THE HOA PRESIDENT JULY 2024
1. ASPHALT. With the 2024 painting project completed except for some final touch up, attention now changes to the 2024 asphalt projects. The first of those will be base repair and patching, at four locations on July 9. Notices will be provided to impacted units this week. Seal coating at 8 other locations will be performed in September. A list of the approved 2024 projects is on the asburyvillas.com website under BGS committee reports.
2. SPRINKLER SYSTEM. As I have mentioned many times, the sprinkler system for the original 40 buildings and clubhouse includes multiple controllers, valve boxes, heads, back flow preventors, etc. and is 20 years old. Thanks to the work by Bob Fenton and the BGS committee with Signature Landscaping, there was a very thorough initial walk through of the system prior to activation. The Board at the June Board meeting approved $10,764 in initial repairs. Approximately $21,000 was budgeted for 2024 (consistent with the last few years) and repairs and adjustments are still occurring. One positive is that we are very close for the first time to having a fully detailed layout of the various components in the system, which has been very helpful in helping to identify any issues.
As we have asked in the last couple of years to report sprinkler issues, please send a contact form found on the asburyvillas.com website. Those are received by the Board and management company for review and action.
3. POND. Yes, we know, the fountain is erratically on and then turned off; there are algae issues. In the 2024 budget for the first time, we entered into a treatment contract with Blue Valley Aqua which has done work over the years. That treatment program began in January but the ice on the pond delayed the start and there have been monthly treatments since as well as exchange of information on addressing. Thank you to Rick Jamieson for his work on this.
4. PRUNING. Spring-early summer pruning completed. PLEASE REMOVE ANY ORANGE TAPE IF YOU MARKED ANY BUSHES/SHRUBS.
5. ARC INSPECTION. Completed and reviewed. Notices of actions needed from unit owners are in process and will be provided.
6. CLUBHOUSE CARPET. As I wrote this on June 27, the clubroom and exercise room in the clubhouse are being cleaned. Your cooperation on avoiding and/or cleaning spills in the clubroom between cleanings is requested.
7, ASBURY CENTRE. Bank construction at 159th and Ridgeview has begun. Primrose School received final approval. I do not know at this time the construction schedule on the school and the Caribou Coffee.
APPRECIATE EVERYONE’S HELP ON COMMITTEES AND VARIOUS ACTIVITIES. HALFWAY THROUGH 2024!
