132 Concrete Repairs all across the property This year we will focus on concrete repairs. LACC surveyed the property and noted many repair needs on sidewalks, roads, etc. that need immediate repair. Some of the areas in front of front doors did not get worked on in previous years, so it is time to address those issues. Some segments will need to be removed and replaced. This work will likely be expensive and may require a draw from reserves. We will know more once it is all quoted. Andy (#4441) agreed to get the concrete survey notes from Denny and share with homeowners, who will review and let Andy know if there are any issues that are not on the list. 5/13/19
