We were thrilled to have homeowners join our January board meeting—the first under Washington's new WUCIOA transparency requirements. Your participation helps strengthen our community, and we hope to see even more neighbors at future meetings.

🎾 Pickleball Court Repair — Approved

The Board selected Sound Sport Surfaces (Option A) at $17,890 plus tax to repair and resurface both pickleball courts. This addresses the cracking and slippery surface conditions that posed safety concerns.

Scope of work includes:

• Pressure wash surface
• Patch cracks and defects with patch mix (sand, cement, binder)
• Sand patches smooth
• Apply SportMaster surfacing system: 1 coat black acrylic resurfacer + 2 color coats
• Line painting for pickleball

📊 2025 Tax & Audit Services — Approved

The Board approved ENOS (our current CPA) at $1,900—saving $600 compared to alternative proposals while maintaining continuity.

🧹 Park Pressure Washing — Confirmed

The Board re-confirmed Momentum Commercial Maintenance at $991.80 (including tax) for pressure washing the park area—an important safety measure to prevent slips.

Scope of work includes:

• Apply liquid moss killer to mossy areas on walkways (at least 1 week before pressure washing)
• Pressure washing of all asphalt walkways and curbs, basketball court, tennis court, play structures, benches, fire pit, walk bridge, and garbage cans

An $85 credit was formally ratified for lots 92 and 93 to reimburse electricity costs used to light the Wood Trails signage at the Larch Way & 175th entrance.
