On Saturday, January 14 our “Scam and Fraud Seminar” will be held at 1:00pm in the “B” Building Viking Room. This alliance meeting featured “Getting to Know the Mayor”. The PBC Mayor Greg White, who is our mayor, spoke about area improvements. Rick also reported that the housing bond was approved for revolving loans for the construction of affordable housing.

Maintenance, Lakes, & Ponds:  Russ Mayer reported that the lakes, canals, and ponds are all good. They have completed spraying the lawns for weeds. Watch for the white flags for pets. The outside hedges are being trimmed.  Because they are thin, they are only trimming the dead areas. Mike suggested that we only trim the tops from now on. It will be too expensive for us to replace the hedges with new hedges or fencing if these hedges die.

Old Business

Power washing equipment: The power washer is bought and paid for and will be available soon.
