7/15 update

Were you ever just happy that a week ended? I just had one of those weeks and I couldn't get through it fast enough! Here's the latest:

Last Friday, Mike Sunderman, the Director of Building and Grounds for your community, abruptly resigned. The Board of Directors accepted his resignation and immediately began interviewing for his position. Being in charge of the Westlake Village common areas and the grounds encompassing all of Westlake Village is no easy task, I assure you. We have a backlog of projects the Board would like to see to completion. At our July Board meeting, it is my intention to put forth a candidate who will have the initiative, motivation, and knowledge to be successful in the vacated postion....stand by for more on this subject.

Wednesday morning, the Village awoke to vandalism of our pool area. Hoodlums cut out a section of our pool fence, which is mandated by the County to keep young children from wandering into the pool and drowning. We are working on getting this repaired just as soon as we are able. Also, these same thugs cut and removed all the wire strand running along the top of the pool fence...apparently there is a large black market for recycled Galvalum (or galvanized aluminum). A few tables and chairs were thrown into the pool as well as damage down to the playground area.

The Board of Directors has refit all locks and we are taking other measures to secure the common areas from further damage.

FYI, there are some rather major changes to the State Statutes with regard to Architectural/Deed restriction compliance that are coming down the pike. Stay tuned for more on that, as it WILL affect home values for those unlucky enough to live next to someone who bought in our community with no regard for the rules that have existed since the inception of our community.

Later...
