if this is the department that has
cleaned up the ducks in the parks, then kudos to them! |

We
will never be satisfied about maintenance of the roads until the association
pays for paving |

Great
staff and leadership. Easy to deal with and very helpful. This organization
is one of the unsung bright spots at LWW |

The
lake has issues and I believe that the past board did a great job at starting
to get them addressed. We need to continue all efforts to restore the water
quality of the lake and keep it useable. I have not gone into the water in
two years... |

Please
choose another color of paint for all of our buildings. We still look like we
were built in the 70's! With all of the money spent on our lake troubles, we
still have them. |

We
would like to see the lake populated with the appropriate number of Solar
Bees. The cost per lot is not high enough not to go ahead with this. I don't
think we are ever going to know for sure if they are helping with the few
Bees we have in place. It is not a valid test of the Bees due to the results
being contaminated from untreated areas. We should be guided solely by the
successes or failures of other similar lakes which have the full regimen of
Solar Bees installed. Chemical treatment of lake weeds is improving each year
and we hope that continues. |

This
year there has been an improvement with the lake, but the pool was closed too
often due to clarity. That needs to improve! |

When
the blower is used to clean off decks, debris is blown into drinking
fountains and they are creepy |
|
21. |
|
roads are in excellent shape; but we
may be overdoing it; could some money be freed up by stretching the re-hab schedule and convert to comm. improvement items? |
|

|
This
department should take over the cleaning of the golf locker rooms rather than
the golfers having to pay someone else for this service. |
|

|
Fog
line painting suggestion: two problems could be addressed at once with one
easy change when roads are resurfaced. Make the travel width narrower by
painting the fog lines several feet closer to the center of the roads. That
will: (1) give a better shoulder for walkers, runners and bikers; and (2) the
narrow travel lanes will slow traffic and make speeding less of a problem.
Narrowing of travel lanes has been shown in all CalTrans
studies to have a "calming" effect on speed. |

Would
be nice to be able to clone Dan... |

tree
trimming by PWD was over the top, ruining our privacy and killing plants |

|
Why
do we have to continually fight to take care of the weed problems? Why do we
have the same problems with the golf course ponds and creeks? Why doesn't the
budget allow for maintenance of the golf course ponds & creeks &
streams? If it does, why aren't they being maintained? |

Need
fixing up and refurbishing more facilities. This is difficult with older
facilities, but can be done. |
|

|
I
have called Public Service to remove dead animals and clean out the roadside
gutter several time and I am always very satisfied
with the regular veteran guys. |
|
32. |
|
I
think the roads are reconditioned too often. |
|
33. |
|
Need
the quantity of tres on assoc. lots reduced. This
would serve as a reminder to all that those little spruce trees you planted
20 years ago are now 30 feet tall and a fire hazard !!!!! |

|
The
rec center was in dire need of repair, rehab, etc.
The building is worn out. |

|
I
see two employees motor by my house every morning in the flat working boat.
They NEVER have anything (supplies, lake debris, ??)
on the barge, so I wonder what they're doing motoring about? |
|
36. |
|
I've
always been impressed with the level of care this department provides the
community. |
|
37. |
|
used to have drainage gutters and
drive piping cleaned where has this gone for example of services we used to
get? |
|
38. |
|
My
only comment would be to watch for mold from too much water around the
buildings. |
|
39. |
|
level the area where the paved road
meets mydriveway. abuildup of repeated re surfacing the road has
created a significant difference of the level of the street and the driveway.
The paving of the street in continually breaking off. Also the raised level
of the street makes the rear of my vehicle bump the road. |

We
are very happy with the progress made with the lake. The maintenance
department keeps the grounds, lake, beaches and other ares
beautiful. We thank you! |
|
41. |
|
Please
keep the pool warm enough for enjoyable use. |
|

Is
it possible that the open spaces could be left green and weed-wacked as
needed instead of killing everything with Round Up? |

It's
not the fault of LWW Public Works that we have a weed problem in the lake but
we do. |

PAVING
IS A SUBCONTRACTED ACTIVITY: ANALYSE DEPARTMENT ACTIVITIES TO DETERMINE IF
OTHER FUNCTIONS COULD BE SUBCONTRACTED TO REDUCE EXPENSES. |

The

Everyone
in Wildwood should support Raul with financial aid to rebuild for his family.
Thank you for making this need public, GOLFERS. If
he is a PWD man they too must find ways to help him.?? |

This group of employees works very hard and are
probably underappreciated. Would also like to know if they are available
during "slow times" to do odd jobs, with pay, for residents. |

|
While
the Art Club had an event at Commodore Park this summer, the Public Works
Department cut the Grass, drowning out most of what was said and stinking the
place up with fumes. Give us a break and coordinate things! |

They
do a good job. No complaints. |

The
pool was closed way too many times this summer! The parks need to be better maintaned as I stated earlier, as well as the boating
facilities! |
|
65. |
|
I'm
sorry but we don't tend to get involved in the operations here. We haven't
been here long enough. |
|
66. |
|
Park
restrooms were not clean when we used them. Grass bordering the lake at the
parks are overgrown. |

Our
house is on a part of the lake that gets no help with the removal of plant
life in the lake. When the lake is lowered, we clean up what we can but the
neighbors don't do anything and every year we fight the plant life off our
dock. No one likes swimming through the growth. |
|
76. |
|
again, have only lived here 6 months. |
|
77. |
|
The
ladies bathroom showers in the pool needed more maintenance- one shower was
frequently clogged, and they didn't appear to be cleaned from the previous
day. |
|

|
Keep
them doing the same things the same way. |
|

A
very hard working department with an excellent leader. |

The
parks seem cleaner with the goose patrol activity. The lake did seem cleaner
this year, having it lowered and cleaned will help it alot
next year. |

The
spray that was applied to Strawberry Cove has been great. The recent efforts
to improve lake water quality seem to be working. For events that use |

With
the limited funds available, they do a good job. |

All
facilities are kept clean, one never sees litter on
our streets or in our parks. Our roads are well maintained. I feel the
buildings have not been upgraded as they should have been, but this I feel is
the fault of the past GM and past Boards of Directors. |
|
87. |
|
Mr.
Watson has always been ready to help property owners with solid technical
advice. He is an invaluable asset to our community. He probably knows where
every switch and valve is located. |
|
88. |
|
Public
Works does an excellent job at maintaining the facilities of the Association. |
|

|
The
Marina Recreation center needs to be cleaned more regularly and I would hope
that the new Community Center is cleaning regularly. |
|
90. |
|
I
would utilize the parks and beaches if smoking was banned. The cigarette
smoke always blows to where I am sitting so I end up leaving. Also, the parks
would be cleaner without all of the cigarette butts all over the ground. |
|
91. |
|
We
would like to see improvements in the parks grounds and the lake cleanliness. |

Please
continue to encourage reduction or elimination of fertilzers
and pesticides on LWW properties both HOA and privat.
LWW is in a forest and if it can't grow with water alone, then it probably
shouldn't be planted. Also, so much of the roads and driveways have
impermeable paving. Many communities adjacent to large bodies of water are
recognizing the importance of permable paving
alternatives (yes, including driveways) as a way for water to percolate
through the soil before it enters body of water. this
reduces the the silty
runoff that clouds and harms one of our biggest assests. |

They
do an excellent job. |

Dan
has been doing an excellent job. I have chatted w/ him on several occassions. His response has been timely & practical .... I have asked him for advice on my property , timely & practrical
was his response. |

Unsatisfied
rating above on Question 75 pertains to the Marina Rec
Room experience. I was a regular participant in the first exercise class
during the week and the room was rarely clean. |
|
110. |
|
Cleaning
and maintenance should be a top priority. We would like to rate it a 'very
satisfied' next year. |
|

|
There
are no healthy looking plantings around the golf course area and around the
lounge entrance. There alot of dead plants and it
looks BAD!!! |
|
112. |
|
There
is a problem with leaf and sediment build up after rain storms at the base of
Candlewood court. For the past 25 years I have to called
the maintenance department to have it cleaned up. I would think by now they
would have it on their schedule for clean up after storms? I have identified
this area as a flooding problem in the past that needs more attention. One
house in particular on the cul-de-sac is threatened with flooding and has
been flooded in the past. We have done some rip rap installation on one of
the drainage easments but I feel more needs to be
done to mitgate the problem. This is why I am very
unsatisfied with the road maintenance. This could also be a stormwater runoff issue not mentioned in item #75. |

|
The
lake weed proplem is ongoing, and not neccisariy the fault of the Public works dept., thier hands have been somewhat tied. My personall suggestion...dredge
the lake deeper. Colder water will result and slow the weed problems from
happening. |
|
115. |
|
Keep
the weed out of the lake. |
|
116. |
|
My
dissatisfaction with the pool is due to the equipment failures over the past
summer. My road was sealed this summer and it seemed to me that the road was
covered in so much more little pieces of asphalt which got in my car and my
house and made a mess on my property. Did the association hire a new
contractor this year? |
|
117. |
|
refer
to comments in park section |
|
118. |
|
They
are very prompt with requests! (dead animal
removal...ick.) Wish NID wasn't constantly tearing
up the roads...how bad are the water pipes, anyway? |
|
119. |
|
More
control of the goose population and a reduction of the goose droppings in the
parks and beaches would be appreciated. |
|
120. |
|
Need
better advanced warnings of when weed killers are going to be put in the
lake. |
|
121. |
|
Maybe
it should be a thought to hire an outside company to care for our parks. If
this were the case maybe more pride would be taken by an outside company to
retain LWW's business. It sort of seems that it is more of a hinderance for the other parks to receive the same care
that Commodore receives since the shed that houses the yard equipment is at |
|
122. |
|
Debris
on the streets, such as broken glass are seldom
swept clean by property owners. Perhaps the property owners are expecting
Public Works to sweep the streets. There is a street sweeper, right? |
|
123. |
|
Good
job! Dan Watson - thanks! |
|
124. |
|
The
work they do is too broad to roll into one question or to generalize. |
|
125. |
|
There
are better and probably less expensive ways to clean up our lake without the
regular use of chemicals and the big black spidery machines. They would clean
up the lake for safer swimming, healthier fish and safer boating without
adding to the pollution we are already experiencing and sending downstream. |
|
126. |
|
I
feel Public Works is doing a great job |
|
127. |
|
Keep
working on the goose poop and keeping the lake clean and lakeweed
free. Landscaping around the Main tennis courts needs work. |
|
128. |
|
Improvement
is needed - painting, upgrades, signage, mail box reform, etc |
|
129. |
|
My
level of satisfaction for the lake is predicated on the weed problem. I know
that progress is being made in this area but it seems to be very slowly
evolving and I think more resources need to be applied to this as the lake is
arguably the most attractive asset of of LWW |
|
130. |
|
Signs
for the different parks are hard to see from the road. They do not show up at
night. How can this be fixed? Wider spacing of letters, reflective lettering. |
|
131. |
|
I'd
like for weeds removal to be improved from the drainage ditch at the road
edge in front of my house and from the drainage ditch that comes down the
hill at the side of my property where it goes under the road. This should be
LWW maintenance. |
