NO Lifeguard Sunday... and other news

Hello Northview Swim Club

As of Memorial Day Opening… we have 44 paid members.  We need 62 to meet our budget goals. If you have not paid your dues yet, I should be home in the evenings M-Th during  the week of May 31-June 2.  (2529 Alexander CT)

We also have a flier you can give to all of your new neighbor move-ins….

NO LIFEGUARDS - 

There will be no lifeguards for the next two Sundays.. May 29 and June 5th.  There will be a lifeguard Monday May 30, Memorial Day.

And we have 4 new, awesome lifeguards this year.  You may contact them for swim lessons, to be held during open swim time.  I believe we are also going to try a swim club this year… keep your eyes and ears open.  Their phones numbers are on the chalkboard at the pool.

Welcome to Summer!  We hope to see you at our Northview Potluck Saturday June 18th.

Sprinkler Help Request

NVSC Members,

Preparations for pool opening are going well and we will be ready for opening on May 28.  A big Thank You to all who have helped with this!

However, an issue was found when I turned on the sprinklers.  When I did so, water came pouring out from under the edge of the parking lot pavement at the north parking lot entrance/exit on Davidson St. (where the parking lot meets the sidewalk).  Brad Jenkins indicated that there is a leaking sprinkler pipe in the pavement.  Repairing this will not impact opening, but until this is fixed we can’t use the sprinklers.

The repair will require taking out a strip of concrete, perhaps some trenching, replacing the damaged pipe, and replacing the concrete.  This has been repaired before but that repair failed.  It appears that the failure was due to the repair not being robust enough to handle cars driving over it as they exit the parking lot.  My understanding is that the prior repair was done by club members.  I don’t know how long ago the repair was done, but it has been a few years.

I believe that we have two options.  If someone from the club would be able to plan, organize, and lead a work party to make repairs that would be the lower cost option.  However, whoever did this would need to have the technical expertise to correctly design the repair.  The second option would be to hire someone to do this (possibly a landscape company).  

The purpose of this letter is to find out if any of the club members would be capable of and willing to undertake this repair.  The board members (and I’m sure others in the club) would be happy to volunteer to do the work, but we need someone to lead the effort.  If we can’t identify someone to take this role, the board will hire someone to do this work. 

The Board needs to know by May 27 if anyone would like to take on this project so that we can move forward with the repair.  Please let us know if you are interested.

 If you have any questions about this (or want to see the water coming out of the pavement) please give me a call at 509-899-8081.
