Maintenance Committee

By Jonathan Hammer, Chair 

We have continued to maintain Lakeport’s common property to a high level, including the following projects:

• Bulbs have been replaced in bollards and streetlights when they burned out.
• The metal railings have been scraped and painted.
• Rotten wood on the fence toward the pool has been replaced.
• Broken concrete on the sidewalk near the community entrance has been repaired.

The remaining items on our community maintenance list are few, and most of these can be handled by volunteers. Please let us know if you are interested in helping with any of the following projects:

• Paint base of southmost mailbox 
• Seal benches on dock
• Repair mortar in stacked stone walls as needed
• Complete some small painting projects that we hope to take care of at the next workday.

As for projects needing professional assistance, we are reviewing a proposal to install five new disconnect boxes (to replace fuses with circuit breakers).

Finally, we are continuing to apply the goose repellant regularly to try to keep the geese away. So far this approach has been quite effective, and we expect the new pollinator garden to help as well because the foliage will obstruct the geese’s view of the lake. We will continue to monitor (and clean up). Thanks to all those who help to remove the droppings; please feel free to lend a hand whenever you see droppings on the dock (there are brooms behind 1939 Lakeport Way).
