2008 Annual Meeting Facility Upgrade Status Report

• The project team (Jim Bray, Ann Goldfarb, John Miller, Curt Corrigan, Doug Peterman, Jen Bray, Jacque Anderson, Dee Perry, Richard Leddon, and Kjersten Buzek) led by Steve Lakowske is working to implement phases I and II of the upgrade plan
• The Board and project team are working very hard to be proactive, communicative and responsive to the concerns of our neighbors. Considerable time and club expense has been invested into working with a small group of 15 neighbors led by Meadows Club members who oppose the Phase I and II projects.

Phase I

• Platform courts are waiting for city approval of a minor modification to the PUD and reinstatement of the building permit. It is our goal to complete this process and have the courts in place for the season before December.
• The two new Har Tru clay courts are awaiting city approval of a building permit and will be installed as soon as the permit is approved.
• Two CU interns have developed a landscaping plan for the pool area expanding usable grass recreation area and adding additional deck space .

Phase II

• The new pool deck is being installed with additional square footage and updated hardware.
• Steps are being taken to improve drainage on the east side of the pool.
• The starting blocks will be moved to the deeper east end of the pool for safety with additional deck space for the heating area.
• All pool projects and the new pool shell will be installed by Thanksgiving.
• The vendors are being selected for the new tennis building and the permit process will begin with the city shortly.
• Once the permit is approved and financing is finalized, construction will begin this winter. Completion is targeted for March – April 2009.
• If Phase II experiences delays similar to Phase I, construction of the indoor structure will not occur until Fall 2009 to avoid on court disruption this spring.

Closing comments:

• This project has many “moving parts” and is requiring many volunteer hours by the project team. If you are interested in helping the team, please let a Board member know and we will work to find a role for you on the team.
• Please be patient as they are working as hard as possible to get the project done right for the membership.
