Summer will Soon be Here - Hopefully Improvements to Come

Happy Spring.

 

Although Summer is officially three months away, starting June 21, 2015, the opening of The Colonies Swimming Pool is just over two months away (Saturday, May 23, 2015)!  We can ALL hope the 2016 Pool season with the illustrious Pool Service The Colonies contracts with their low standards of service; lifeguards sleeping on the job were a nice touch last summer especially when children were playing in the swimming pool.

 

Colonies co-owners cannot seem to catch a break - getting the short end of the stick paying $320,000+/year for the sub-par inconsistent security coverage they are being provided by Eagle Security.  Come on Eagle Security Management - it not that hard to implement ONE process across the board for Co-Owners, Visitors and Vendors/Couriers and any other applicable categories.

 

Another Water Main break at Building 6?!  The Colonies should just look into investing in some of that equipment for future issues!  This round of repairs with the water main on the front side of the building has been going on for a while but time being spent repairing the main would have been reduced a bit if the workers weren't spending so much time on their mobile phones and smoking!

 

Let's review -- Anyone entering The Colonies property encounters the above items in the following order:

• Security (Front Gate): You may be let right in or be put through an inquisition
• Swimming Pool (Summer Months): The occasional sleeping lifeguard
• Building 6: Construction equipment due to water main repairs (2nd round in less than 5 years)

 

Hopefully The Colonies Management and Board will take action to correct these issues as it does not bode well for the co-owners I know who do still live there and ALL of them are the ones who pay in the end!
