This tree went down in the park on 12/22/08 during the storm.

Update on the tree in the park 02/01/2009 It looks like the home owners got tired of waiting for the HOA Board to resolve the issue and cut up the tree themselves. It makes you wonder why we have to pay such high dues when the homeowners have cut up the trees the last two years and maintained around the detention ponds.

Thanks to Ed and Byron for your work today.

The Fitness Trail equipment is covered in slimy algae, moss and lichen. Make sure you wear your "work clothes" if you plan on using it provided you can even hang on.

This is a culvert that was plugged causing water to back up and the ground to get soft causing trees to fall in the NGP. These along with the detention ponds are to be maintained by the HOA and inspected annually at a minimum. I have not seen any inspection or maintenence records since the developement was managed by the Board.

This healthy Cottonwood was removed in tract #994, not because it was a hazard, but because a direcetor did not like it next to their home. I could imagine the expense of the climbers plus the boom truck. Ssee stump grinding Below. Ethics????

This stump in th play area at the park was not deemed hazardous by the board when the tree was removedl. Yet this one next to a Board Members house was a threat. It was contracted without HOA approval. The whole Board was not even in on the decision. One of theBoard members quit over this issue. I bet the removal came at a huge expense to the HOA.
