CROSSWOOD DRIVE STREET REPAIRS

Work Now In-Process

A large section of Crosswood is reduced to one lane on both sides of McKee Park. Repair work has begun and demolition and excavation will start any day. Please use caution and avoid this street if at all possible if you do not live in the vicinity!

Water Main Leak at Gate 1 Exit

Be advised the City is investigating a 12 inch main leak at the Gate 1 Exit. To date, they have been out 3 times this week and have yet to locate the leak. Traffic is intermittently reduced to one lane so please exit slower than normal when equipment and workers are present. As soon as repairs are made we will have the landscape crew fix the area!

BEHIND THE SCENES - CUTTING COSTS

It's no secret inflation is hitting everyone hard these days. From the gas station to the grocery store consumers have seen almost double-digit percentage increases in costs.

In the fight against inflation, here at the Association office we are currently reviewing every existing contract and regular service in order to ensure homeowners are getting the best value for the money.

As Village Manager, my goal is to review every existing contract in order to ensure homeowners are getting the best value for the money. For example, we have new RFP's (request for proposals) out for the following services:

Fountain Repair and Monthly Maintenance
Pest Control
Playground Inspection and Repairs
Low-Voltage Landscape Lighting
Electrical and Street Lighting
Plumbing
Pet Waste Removal
Insurance
Pavement Marking
General Handyman services

In addition, we currently have several RFPs out to garner competitive quotes for re-staining / painting / pressure-washing at the 3 Village Parks, hoping to improve the appearance and enjoyment of those areas.

As always, if you ever have a question or concern reach out to Audri, Jason or myself and we'll be happy to help!

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us!
