MANAGER’S REPORT

A. Programming-The Spring Camp numbers were good even though other school districts had different spring break dates. The Eggstravaganza had an attendance of approximately 350 people. After review of the tennis court keys sold, it was noticed that there are quite a lot of lost keys. The last time the courts were rekeyed was in 2003 and with the resurfacing of the tennis courts, it is time to rekey. Notification will be posted and the courts will be rekeyed in May. The Board agreed the future fees for more than 2 keys per household and for lost keys needs to be significant.

B. Facilities/Grounds-The middle set of stairs to the playground have been completed. The concrete work on the pool deck has been completed. The next irrigation installation is in progress. The small front building lights will be replaced to match the ones on the pool deck.

C. The Open Space pile burns dates were moved to the month of May.
