Submitted by Sharon Natenberg Security: One incident of criminal mischief occurred on Terrawren. There was also a male and female disturbance on Glenmere. Fifty-one traffic tickets were written. Constables on patrol drove 1,233 miles. Action Items: The Board voted to install new wrought iron fencing at the entrance of the Oaks of Terranova West. Our long-time landscaper, D.W. Miller, will be repairing a drain off the swimming pool pump room roof, fertilizing all irrigated turf areas, and trimming the trees in Terravista. Check on our website for the new code to the park fence. In the future, the water fountain in the park will be removed. We are completing the removal of dead trees from the park. A big “thank you” to President Bill Carpenter for “taking one for the team”! He was stung by the bees that were living in one of our dead trees! Bill is fine; the bee is a goner! The edging around the playground will be repaired. We are planning to install a sprinkler system on the west side of TC Jester between Springton and Glenmere and to eventually plant the ligustrum hedge to match the east side. Committee Reports: Maria Carra continues to handle the rental and maintenance of our clubhouse. Dan Winters reports that seven ARC requests were filed for various home improvements. Dianne Moynihan will be handing our wristbands for pool usage and she will be meeting with Sweetwater Pools who manage our pool. Dianne reports that our swim team, the Tidalwaves, have 130 swimmers!
