JL POA is responsible for the maintenance of many of the concrete walkways and promenades throughout the community. The JL POA board has approved the repair of areas of
cracked, split or broken
concrete to prevent slip and fall accidents. Bids have been taken to get this work completed. The Board has approved
the first phase as one of JL POA's critical projects
. The first phase is the area at the Dickinson Bridge and underneath the bridge.
Although during this time of uncertainty when we want to keep a safe distance from others during this Covid-19 scare, we have an opportunity to take advantage of this work for the POA. Due to a slowdown in contractor work, a discount on the price of the job bid for the repairs could be obtained. As this work is all outdoor work and will not place workers close to our owners, we felt it was prudent to take advantage of this timing.
Here is how the repairs will be made:
- The contractor will remove the stone knee wall under the Dickinson Bridge. (This should not impact walkers or joggers.)
- The contractor will remove the broken cart path that is located under the Dickinson Bridge leading from the Cape Point Area on the east side of the bridge, form and re-pour the area. (This should not impact the joggers and walkers crossing the bridge, but it will be coned off.)
- The contractor will then come to the west side of the bridge and remove the walkway under the bridge on the western side to include the path that leads to the crossover on Casseekey Island Road. This will require all walkers and joggers going over the bridge to be rerouted. A separate lane will be placed temporarily adjacent to the roadway to allow the joggers and walkers to cross the bridge area safely. (This will impact the joggers and walkers and will include temporary fencing.) The broken and cracked concrete walkway on this side of the bridge and under the bridge will be removed and poured.
- After this concrete work is completed, the landscape under the bridge and sod will need to be restored.
Work will begin early next week on the various tear-out of the concrete and slabs under the bridge. We will try to update you with progress; however, we want to ensure that you are walking with safety in mind especially in this area.

Contractor Guidelines
During Covid-19
Stay Home/ Stay Safe
The following are the current guidelines the POA Board has reviewed with management and are now being used in allowing vendors/contractors access into the community. Each entry is looked at on a case-by-case basis by management, and that decision is then communicated to the contractor or owner.
The POA currently asks the following questions each time a contractor seeks entrance into JL:
- How does the village feel about having contractors on site and within their village?
- Is the contractor work being performed in an empty home, or are occupants in the home while the work is being performed? We prefer the home to be empty. We feel strongly that work performed in hallways of condominiums with owners living in the condo right now should be restricted.
- Is the work on the home an emergency? Included in emergency work by a contractor are the following categories: electrical issues, plumbing and water heater issues, AC issues, power outage, roof leak, broken windows or missing windows, and broken appliances.
- Is this job just getting started or is the home already under repair or restoration? We have at least 2 homes on site that have mold or mildew issues where the home had to have immediate work performed which we consider essential or emergency in nature.
- Does the work involve 1 contractor in the home or multiple contractors? Our preference is to have the fewest number of contractors together to comply with social distancing. We have permitted some contractors to come into homes that are vacant to prepare bids for work further out.
- Is there a true financial hardship? Financial hardships would include a lending issue or an insurance issue on the home project that may create an immediate need to complete said project.
We will try to get these decisions made quickly with the information we are given at the time the contractor petitions for the request.

New measures in place to upgrade JL Security.
We now have a Perimeter Camera System that includes both thermal and IP Analytic cameras. These cameras are strategically placed along the outer perimeter of JL, including property along our entry channels from the Intracoastal Waterway. These cameras have the ability to detect incoming persons, even in poor or no light.
The second measure is the introduction of ADT to monitor our alarm systems. The security systems within our homes will be monitored by JL Security, who will respond physically to an alarm, and at the same time by ADT, who will assist in alarm protocol within our security operation.

Could a Carbon Monoxide Detector
Save Your Life?
We are a community of homes where golf carts are prevalent at many of the JL residents homes. Everyone who has a golf cart and uses a golf cart charger should be aware of the risks involved with old chargers and allowing a golf cart to remain on the charger.
Golf Cart batteries can emit a dangerous gas called Hydrogen if allowed to overcharge. Hydrogen in your home is an odorless, colorless gas that is considered highly flammable and toxic.
If allowed to circulate in an enclosed garage, Hydrogen can enter the air intake system of your AC and penetrate your home. This gas can then circulate inside the home and endanger the occupants in it. Owners often report that hydrogen gas can cause headaches, nausea, difficulty breathing and vertigo.
The best way to prevent this is to have a Carbon Monoxide detector as part of your home safety equipment. This equipment will also read any high rates of hydrogen.
ADT provides a monitored Carbon Monoxide detector that could save lives. The initial cost for the monitor and installation is $100 plus tax per device, as long as this is done at the time of the initial activation. If installed after the initial activation, a $105 labor cost will be incurred in addition to the cost of the device. There is no additional cost for monitoring, as this is included in our monthly fee.

Putting your best foot forward
when Video Conferencing
- Set up your camera so that it has a clear and unobstructed view of you. Make sure your lighting is in front of you so that your image is clear.
- Know when you want to turn on your audio and video. If you are eating something, it is best to have your audio and video muted.
- Please mute cell phones while on the video conference to avoid disturbances.
- Be aware that if your audio or video is not on mute everyone can hear your conversation and see you.
