There was discussion regarding the removal of the slide, the items included in the proposal, and the condition of the slide. Ms. Litwin noted there has been a lack of maintenance that has caused the current issues. Consistent maintenance is needed for the seals and joints, which will be an ongoing cost. Vermana stated they have a maintenance service program as well.

It was noted the slide would need to be re-sanded and refinished in a couple of years, which would cost approximately $15,000.00 - $20,000.00. Discussion continued on the actual use of the slide and the cost of the proposal.

It was noted the basketball court is already cracked as it was a temporary fix. The slide being fixed would have the same issue. Several residents commented on using funds for luxury versus necessity. Vermana noted that the slide being repaired would make it fully functional and would only require normal maintenance.

It was noted there should be a priority project list for the Board to reference. Ms. Litwin noted the safety of the slide is a priority. She noted that slide removal would take multiple vendors and layers of repair as well, including plumbers, electricians, etc. There was discussion regarding the removal.

Ms. Ripoll recommended having a workshop to discuss and create a 5-year plan.
Ms. Litwin requested a removal quote from Vermana in order to compare the repair cost. It was noted that any open areas and electrical will have to be capped. There will also have to be discussion on how this will affect pool circulation and chemicals.

There was continued discussion on the census of the residents to keep or remove the slide.
