2019 Projects - Lots of repairs

2019 Project & Repair Spending :

FROM NOVEMBER 2018 THROUGH DECEMBER 2019 WE DID A COMPLETE MAKEOVER REPAIRING EVERYTHING AND CREATING A SAFE AND BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY FOR OUR FAMILIES AS WE HAD SAVED MOST ALL OF THE 2018 BUDGET DUE TO A SLOW TRANSFER FROM FSR OUR PRIOR MANAGEMENT COMPANY FROM 2017 TO LATE 2018 TO A NEW MANAGEMENT COMPANY IN 2019.

WE EXCEEDED OUR 2019 BUDGET FOR PROJECTS AND REPAIRS AS THE SAFETY ISSUES WERE LONG OVERDUE. HOWEVER WE SAVED A LOT OF MONEY DOING A LOT OF WORK OURSELVES.

Between November 2018 and December 2019 The following pictures show all the after pictures of the improvements we made to our Community Autumn Lake of Pearland :)

Your 2019 Board of Directors built a new community website in 2019 to create a communication that would make our community projects, repairs, up-keep, communication and records transparent to all our members.

The 2019 Board of Directors also became very hands on in projects saving our community money in efforts such as pressure washing monuments, pillars, walls, structures in the park and entrances to save our community money to do other needed projects, we also rented a commercial paint sprayer and prepped, stained and painted over 30,000 sq ft of structures and fencing in our community as well as gazebos, piers, jungle gym, wood and metal fencing that allowed us to build a new pier, salvage and improve the old long pier and build several new needed steel fences and gates where required by our safety inspector in 2019. New trees were planted (over 40), gravel refreshed in the park area and parking areas, signs were placed everywhere to identify our community as a private community and so much more :)
