The good news is: The Monsoons have started! The bad news is...well, just drive on our road a ways and you'll see. The contractor has assessed the situation and has found that at least 3 major culverts are full of silt and will probably need to be cleared by hand; there is a washout just below Mescalero Trail and those culverts are also full. Grading, bar ditches, culvert cleaning, collecting all the road material that washed down to the mailboxes and replacing it on the road...right now, the estimate is more than we currently have funds for.
Emptying the bank account now doesn't seem like a good idea...when we could get more gullywashers like the last one and need to do more remediation before summer's end...and what do we do about keeping some reserves for snow removal?
If the entire neighborhood were contributing to the road fund, we would have more resources to work with. As it is, we'll just let you know what we decide to do--and when-- just as soon as we come up with a plan.
