Pool - The Executive Board has come to terms on a modified agreement with Northland Pools for the operations contract for this summer. The details of the modified contact will be discussed at the meeting this Sunday, September 13th. As part of the agreement, the pool will be open through Sunday, September 13th. School hours will be used this week, 4pm to 8pm T-F, and 11am-8pm Saturday and Sunday. The remaining work on the pool will be completed once the pool closes next weekend.

At long last, the post you have all been waiting for – the pool has passed inspection and the pool will be opening Friday, July 31st at 11:00 am. The water is a balmy 80 degrees. The updated pool and covid-related rules are attached to this post.
There are a few items to address before questions come up. First, the deck paint will be finished overnight one of the next few days it is dry enough. The red coping concrete around the main pool is not to the standard of the baby pool so we have already agreed to have it completely redone once the pool closes for the season, along with a second coat of deck paint, and the pool cover installation. We are also still working on the landscaping inside the pool fence. Right now, we are planning to be open at least through Labor Day with a possibility of staying open a bit longer (TBD). There will be board members at the pool Friday afternoon, July 31st to activate key cards from at least 1-4 pm. Additional times will be posted as needed. If you do not have an active card, you will not be allowed to swim. Please ensure the key card comes with your swimmers, as the guards are not allowed to open the gate for anyone (even if they know you are a resident). Finally, be patient as we get the lifeguards used to our pool – the rules may have been different where they have been working so far this summer. Please send either myself and/or the board an email with any questions or concerns. Thanks for your patience! Newmark First Pool Association 2020 Rules.docx Below are the updated pool rules for the 2020 season, with some revisions to the COVID-19 rules that were revised by the board during the July 2020 board meeting.
Pool update: More visible progress all last week with additional plaster demo, coping patching, and lane line tile has begun. The plaster subcontractor was in Friday and Saturday (on the 4th) and we did decide there was enough time to go ahead and demo the bad concrete coping on the baby pool and re-pour it (scheduled for Tuesday). Northland Pool also has another sand blaster coming in tomorrow to see if they can help complete the plaster demo.
A majority of board members met with Wes (Northland Pools owner) last week to allow him to give updates to everyone in person and allow more direct questions. Based on current state/plans, the earliest opening would be later the week of 7/13. Thanks again for your patience! Pool update: Northland Pool had a good contingent of their resources working on plaster demo (rented their own smaller chipping machines) and cleanup all last week so the progress is much more visible. NPM will continue this week to make the strides they can and we are putting in a call to the subcontractor as well to try and help bring them along. Again, please stay outside the pool gate if you are going to view the work (for your safety and to not distract the workers).
We apologize that it does not look like we will have water in the pool this coming holiday weekend and thank you for your continued patience with this major project. |
