Final bids are being received and reviewed for crack sealing caused by the severe winter. Cracks should be sealed by the end of the summer.

Drains

Storms with heavy rains in June caused some flooding issues in Briargate and North Buckingham. Flooding was caused by floating debris clogging surface drain grids and underground drains pipes. A drain cleaner was hired to clear drain pipes where flooding occurred. Flooding sites are also being reviewed by our engineers from Ridgeline Consultants to identify any other actions they recommend to prevent flooding reoccurrences.

The hydrologist, Prestbury hired to review the Kane County’s plan to address the surface water flooding in lower Briargate, is preparing a proposal to resolve the issue. The area was resurveyed in June. All proposed options will need to be reviewed and approved by Kane County, the Prestbury Board, and the affected homeowners.

PRESTBURY POOL SEASON 2014 Opening Day: Saturday May 24, 2014

Hours: 11:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. daily, weather permitting Resident Identity Cards: We will again this year be using the handheld scanner that will recognize the barcode on your identity Cards. Identity Cards are REQUIRED for each visit to the pool for anyone over the age of five (5). This rule will be strictly enforced. The pool amenity is for the enjoyment of residents, family and guests and is only possible by funding from the monthly assessment paid by each homeowner. Please note, that residents or their guests will not be permitted access to the pool if they owe more than one (1) months assessment. Owners on agreed payment plans will be permitted provided they are adhering to the payment schedule. If you received a temporary card in 2013 without your picture on it or require a new card, please see Nicki in the PCA office between the hours of 8:30 A.M and 2:30 P.M. Monday thru Friday. It is very important that we have an emergency contact number for your household. Please contact Nicki at 630-466-1576 to verify we have a correct and current number for you.

Family Use: The pool amenity is for the enjoyment of residents and their family. The definition of family is as normally used: children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles. Children 10 and under must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Residents must come to the pool and check-in their family members, but do not have to stay at the pool with them. Residents are always responsible for the actions of the family members and guests. Children who have now reached the age of 11 must be issued a new Identity pass.

Guest Use: We have implemented a separate green colored Guest Pass that we would like Prestbury residents to use when bringing guests to the pool. Each household will have four free passes entered on the card, and when those passes are used, residents can refill their Guest Pass by contacting Nicki in the PCA office. The cost for additional guest passes is $5.00 per guest use for however many guest uses you would like added to your card. There is no limit as to how many guest uses you can add to your card. We are hoping that having the Guest Pass will help our residents so that they won’t need to bring money to the pool. Guest Passes and refills can be obtained by contacting Nicki in the PCA office at 630-466-1576. Residents must accompany non-family guest at all times when at the pool. Residents are always responsible for the actions of the family members and guests.

12

Pool Parties: If you wish to have a party at the pool, a form must be completed in the PCA office at least a week prior to the party. We ask that parties be held Monday through Friday between the hours of 4:00 P.M and 7:00 P.M. If there are 10 or more guests, there will be an additional hourly charge for an extra lifeguard. Guest fees also apply.

Activities: Notices regarding swim lessons, water aerobics and special events will be posted on the bulletin board at the entrance to the pool area and on the Prestbury website.
