Upcoming April Board of Directors (BOD) Meeting Agenda and Online Meeting information
Please find attached the agenda for the upcoming Board of Directors Meeting on Saturday, April 13, 2024 at 2 p.m. With Inspire Church unavailable and Marblemount Hall having no internet access, we have to ask the membership to join online again.
Martin and David will be attending the meeting from the old caretaker’s cabin. The cabin can accommodate about 12 people, so if you’re in the Park with no access to internet, you are welcome to join Martin and David in the old caretaker’s cabin.
As a reminder, two Board seats are open and the Board is looking to nominate two members to fill the gap until the next election in June. Please contact the Board if you are interested.
Alternatively, a new “Park Policies Review and Update Committee” will be announced and added to the committee lists you can see in the agenda. Please raise your hand and volunteer to help a little bit if you would like to get involved.

Water Leak Notice & Boil Water Notice
Dear Fellow Park Members,
This notification is to notify the membership that our water system is leaking in a way that cannot be ignored anymore. Please read the attached post for an assessment of the situation and the steps that have been taken.
As a consequence, with our water system compromised and to respond to Park members’ concerns, the Board is issuing a “Boil Water Notice” as a precaution. The notice will remain in effect until further notice.
As operations are underway to determine where the leaks are, water will be shut down at various time during the day over the next 4 weeks. Pixie will communicate and give advance notice as much as possible. Residents should have water containers filled and ready for use. Toilets can be flushed with a bucket of water.
Please do not hesitate to reach out and contact the Board. Your expertise and advice are always helpful to the Board and to the membership.
MAJOR WATER LEAK NOTICE – EMERGENCY SITUATION
Dear Fellow Park Members,
This notification is to notify the membership that our water system is leaking in a way that cannot be ignored :
- Our records show that we pumped 632,610 gallons in January and 671,490 gallons in February. With about 370 lots that’s 60 gallons per day per lot.
- Our water tanks are dropping by over 3.5 feet overnight. On average we’re looking at 14,000 gallons from 7pm to 9am.
- With maybe a maximum of 40 people in the Park during the week in winter, that represents 350 gallons per member overnight.
- With a cost estimate of $0.05 to $0.20 to pump a gallon, these leaks represent potentially over $1,000 down the drain every night.
These numbers speak for themselves and are alarming. It’s a major financial concern and an environmental one. The Board has recognized this as an emergency and has started taking measures :
- Parts of the park with suspected leaks have been isolated and are being investigated by our caretaker’s team under the Board and Pixie’s supervision.
- The scope of work to be done is being defined. Qualified professionals have been contacted and the Board is collecting bids. “Stop the leaks plan” will be executed promptly.
- As operations are underway to determine where the leaks are, water will be shut down at various times during the day over the next 4 weeks at minimum. Pixie will communicate and give advance notice as much as possible.
- Long-term planning and funding will be required as an ongoing process. A committee will be established with the precise objective to manage our water issues.
As a consequence, with our water system compromised and to respond to Park members’ concerns, the Board is issuing a “Boil Water Notice” as a precaution.
Please do not hesitate to reach out and contact the Board. Your expertise and advice are always helpful to the Board and to the membership.
On behalf of the Board – Michael Rodriguez (Vice President)
