The following is a message from Daniel Krause, President Riviera-West Property Owners Board

It's the time of year when things start to slow down and our efforts turn toward cleaning common areas up. The water plant / marina area is in need of repairs and the Board will be starting to clean and make repairs, where necessary. We are looking into replacing the entry gate with a heavy duty motor that we hope will not continually break down. We also plan to work with the Water Board in cleaning up the Water Plant. The replacing of existing docks will take some time in planning and raising funds. We would like to thank Richard Apfel for removing the submerged dock that collapsed this past summer. We appreciate your willingness to help out your fellow property owners.

Now that the pool is closed for the winter, we are looking into replacing the old pump with a more modern pump that will reduce maintenance time. The building moratorium has been lifted, effective November 1st, and we should again start to see growth in our community. This means we will see more construction equipment on our new and beautiful streets. We would appreciate the reporting of violations on our roads in order to quickly respond and maintain them.

Just a little reminder: Winter is right around the corner and it is the time of year to check around your property for dead trees. Remember, we lost several trees to winds and water last year.
