UPDATES
n Enders Pool resurfacing: The pool is leaking, and a crack has been found in the surface of the pool. This has been reported to the pool specialist. American Leak Detection found leaks at six underwater lights and resealed the lights to prevent further leaks. The Association has contacted the pool specialist to inform them of the leaks and is in discussions with them on the issue. n Bermuda aeration: The aeration of all Bermuda has been completed. n Tree analysis: The approved hazard/maintenance pruning based on Mary Edwards the consulting arborist’s tree analysis has been completed. The crepe myrtle pruning is being scheduled. n Roof color matrices: Management contacted the city’s planning department concerning the approval of the roof color matrices.

BALDWIN PARK LIVING | JULY 2021
n New trash can location at High Park: Management is working with DRS on possible locations for the trash can at High Park. Once a proposal is obtained, it will be brought back to the Board. n Landscape replacements: The replacements at Union Park were reviewed at the ARC meeting, and the committee approved the shade-tolerant design at Union Park. This installation has been completed. ARC members denied the replacement of burford hollies with podocarpus, stating they wanted flowering or variegated plants. Management resubmitted the application as-is for reconsideration, because the board approved a non-flowering plant to replace and existing non-flowering plant. Flowering plants — which attract bees, etc. — are not ideal that close to a playground, and there is already a variegated plant on one side of the park which would look odd aesthetically against another variegated plant. The ARC approved replacing the hollies with podocarpus during its May 13 meeting. n Mulch application: The pine bark nuggets were installed in May.
