2.  BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING; TUESDAY, MAY 16, 2023; 7:00PM; VIRTUAL.  The monthly board meeting will be conducted via the RingCentral virtual meeting framework. See the website under ‘Meetings’, select the year (2023), then the meeting (05 – 20230516). Document #01-1 contains the information to join the meeting. 

3.  GRADUATION EVENTS AT EAGLEBANK ARENA, MAY 18, 2023 THROUGH JUNE 13, 2023.  Graduation season is here and we will see increased traffic impacts on our roads.  Please see our website for the list of the 34 graduations planned.  Anticipate major traffic delays before and after each event so plan accordingly when you travel from/to our community.

4.  2023 POOL OPENING DAY; SATURDAY, MAY 27, 2023; 11:00AM.  We are less than one month away from Opening Day!  You’ll be seeing more preparation work going on around the pool over the next few weeks as we go through the various certification and inspections needed to operate for the season.

5.  PARK WEST PAGES, MAY 2023 EDITION.  The May 2023 edition of Park West Pages has been released – please see the website for the document.  The Communications and Hospitality Committees will each have some hard copies of the edition if you’d like a printed copy.  The hard copies will be available on-or-after May 15, 2023.

6.  TREE AND GROUNDS CARE WORK.  The Spring 2023 Arbor Care work is near the completion with one more tree removal scheduled and some fertilizations still to occur.  We have also had to remove some trees that rapidly failed or were storm damaged.  We have published guidance on what drives us for tree removals – that may be found on our website.  In principle we are removing dead or rapidly failing trees as identified by our professional arborists, then trees recommended in principle – these are trees beyond their life-cycle for our environment with attendant risk to homes, vehicles, or community assets.  We do have plans to re-introduce trees more suitable to our environment – those plans are necessarily subservient to removing liability trees.

7.  2023 POOL PASS APPLICATIONS.  For those who haven’t submitted, please do so when you can.  Please see the separate message providing the on-or-after date your passes will be ready for pickup barring any holds active at the time.  Please submit either electronically or by dropping your completed pass applications.  

8.  INDIVIDUAL GROUNDS CARE OFFER FROM J&J LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT, APPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.  Due to numerous requests, our grounds care contractor is offering residences in our community the ability to have the private yards maintained.  Please refer to the link listed above for details or contact myself if you cannot access the form. If you would like to advantage of the offer please contact them as soon as possible.

9.  LIFEGUARD EMPLOYMENT REQUEST.  Atlantic Pool Service is looking for lifeguards to work this season.  Please refer to the link listed above for details or contact myself if you cannot access the form.

10.  TRASH, RECYCLING AND YARD WASTE.  Reminder – please have your containers or paper bags out no later than 6:00AM the day of pickup.  Especially with yard waste – the truck has been through here during the last two weeks shortly after 6:00 AM and I’ve noticed multiple people setting out their bags after pickup, resulting in paper yard waste bags that sit a week on the curb.

11.  GROUNDS CARE REMINDERS. Spring growing is definitely here and we have started our mowing program for the season. Please keep the following in mind: #1 – keep your vehicle bumpers off the curb during mowing days as the crew cannot mow, edge or trim (as appropriate) when your vehicle is parked on top of the turf. #2 – For those of you who have landscaped up to the sidewalk – you are responsible to keep the sidewalk edge nearest your residence clean if the edger cannot be operated safely. #3 – Keep all items stored inside your fence / or your property for those without rear fences. See the ACC and ECC Rules for additional information.

12.  VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR WEBSITE AND INFRMATION TECHNOLOGY FRAMEWORK SUPPORT.  We have had a volunteer step forward to offer to help – thank you!  We could still utilize another person to share the load in maintaining the website and several of our support structures.  We have relied on volunteers in the past and while that’s great in principle when we lose that support things start to go sideways.

Have a great rest of your day or evening!  

Regards,

Mark

4.  ACC HOME INSPECTION, SPRING 2023; TODAY!; SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 2023; 10:00AM; POOL PARKING LOT.  OUR SPRING INSPECTION IS TODAY!!!!  We could use volunteers to make the inspection easier on the few regulars who show up consistently.  As the weather appears to be cooperating with us today we’ll be going around the community starting today to inspect.  Please consider giving a few hours of your time to assist on an inspection team – no experience necessary.  You may see inspectors around over the next week or so if we do not get enough volunteers today to complete the inspection.  The inspection will be conducted by teams.  Each team will be led by either a Director or a Summit representative.  All teams will have at least one person with previous experience accomplishing the inspection.

Hope to see a few of you in about an hour!  Enjoy your weekend.

PWCA Pool Information for the 2023 Season 

This is a late post due to lack of volunteer support with these kinds of actions…..

Good evening.  I thought I’d provide you full information on pool pass distribution and some information on pool operations for the season in a separate message.

APPLICABLE LINKS:
PWCA Website: https://parkwestcommunity.org/
2023 Pool Application: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X5vE-ynAfWoDrMIIYwTpEgVq7obm8MtE/view?usp=share_link

ITEMS:

1.  2023 POOL PASS APPLICATIONS, APPLY NO LATER THAN SUNDAY, APRIL 30, 2023.  Please submit either electronically or by dropping your completed pass off by April 30th.  If you do not make the April 30th deadline your passes will not be ready for Opening Day or any of the Memorial Day weekend.  All electronic submissions should have a response email acknowledging receipt.  If you have any questions whether your application is in the process please check the pool pass application status reports on the website as described in Item #2.

2.  POOL PASS APPLICATION STATUS REPORTS.  Current status of pool passes may be found on our website.  Go to ‘Living in PWCA’, then select ‘Pool”.  Scroll down to below the map and you will see a sentence referencing the pool pass application status.  Select that link to see several reports that provide a status by address of the applications in process as of the date of the report.

3.  2023 POOL PASS HOLD CRITERIA.  Most applications that are on the hold list mainly fall in to two categories.  #1 – for renters, we need a copy of your current lease with the names of the lessees and the end-of-lease date.  #2 – assessments in arrears of more than $30.  Owners (both resident and non-resident) – recommend you verify your arrears status if you see your address on the hold list.

4.  2023 POOL PASS DISTRIBUTION; WEDNESDAY; MAY 3, 10, 17, 24, AND 26, 2023; 6:30PM – 7:00PM, POOL PARKING LOT.  If your application is submitted by April 30th and is not being held for a specific reason your passes will be ready for pickup at any of the dates and times listed in this item.  All residences will be listed on the document “2023 Pool Pass, Residences with Passes for Pickup”.  This document may be found with the other Pool Pass Application Status Reports as delineated in Item #2 of this message.  

5.  POOL ADMISSION.  We are utilizing the SignUpGenius framework again this year.  Recommend you create an account to allow you to sign in easily on your phone.  The lifeguards will be enforcing this – please do not plead your case for why you don’t have to sign-in.  This is an integral part to our operations – make it easy on yourself and the guards and just create the account.

6.  POOL RULES.  Please familiarize yourself with our pool rules prior to the start of the season.

7.  2023 POOL OPENING DAY; SATURDAY, MAY 27, 2023; 11:00AM.  You will need a pool pass to enter the pool deck over the Memorial Day weekend – April 30th is fast approaching if you have not submitted your application.

8.  FOLLOW-ON POOL PASS DISTRIBUTIONS; WEDNESDAYS; VARIOUS DATES; 6:30PM – 7:00PM, POOL.  Follow-on distribution dates will occur on Wednesdays from 6:30PM – 7:00PM.  These dates assume that your residence does not have a hold associated with the property.  For example, if you submit after April 30th and by May 27th; your passes will be ready on May 31st.  If you submit between May 28th and June 7th, your passes will be ready on June 14th.  For all dates within the season please see below:

  •     – May 27:  May 31   
    – June 7: June 14
        – June 21:  June 28
        – July 5: July 12
        – July 19: July 26
        – August 9: August 16
    • – August 23:  August 30

Hope this clarifies some of the questions raised this year.  We look forward to a great season – please let us help you enjoy it from Opening Day by getting your applications in by tomorrow.  

Regards,

Mark
