They are in the process of roof replacements, asphalt, and drainage remediation, sports court rejuvenation or replace- ment, all without special assessment or bank loans. Projects of significant magnitude are typically phased proj- ects to keep fees reasonable while maintaining the fiscal responsibility. This type of process requires a signifi- cant amount of planning and consult- ing with industry professionals who are experts in their fields like engi- neers, construction, heating and air conditioning, etc. Not least of these are the accountants and attorneys. The manager of the professionally managed Ponds is not the expert in these fields. The manager needs to be able to investigate, ask questions, oversee the experts and report to the board. The Ponds is a step back to the intimacy of what neighborhood and community mean. The community is unique with its blend of rural peace and tranquility while bursting with activity. It is more than just a place to live. Rather it is a community where residents get involved by vol- unteering for committees and partic- ipating in the events and activities. They create new memories with their new friends. n
