A little tidbit of information from SLohA's Reserve Schedule "B" Nov. 4, 2014, this 15 page Reserve Schedule was a hand-out at the Town H all Proposed Budget Meeting on 12/10/2014.
Reserve Schedule B, All Roads & Parking Lots; Estimated Cost To Replace= $400,000, Useful Life= 30 yrs., Remaining Useful Life= 28 yrs.
Now what is WRONG with this Reserve Schedule? Well for one thing, I do believe not to long ago SLohA paid close to $500,000 for a "Half-Ass Paving" of our Roads & Parking Lots. So, 2 yrs later the Cost to Pave Roads & Parking Lots would be $100,000 less. My Question is, how come it would be cheaper to Pave Roads & Parking Lots in 2014?
Who Knows....
Now this is a Real Joke, "Useful Life is 30 Yrs" ! Surely you are Kidding Me, if anyone thinks these Roads in SLR will last 28 more years. Just Look at the Roads after 2 yrs. of use, look at night while driving you car with head lamps on. They will show you ever "Hump & Bump" in the ever settling road base. We told Our Trusted Leaders what would happen, if the road base was not prepared correctly. Very, Very Poor Compaction, equals road base settles and the Top Layer of Asphalt, also settles. In the future we will have Built-in Hump & Bump Speed Controls...
These conditions are also caused by, "Poor Leadership" in SLohA....................................................
WE TOLD OUR LEADERS & MANAGEMENT THIS WOULD HAPPEN ! .........................................................
A 30 yr. Useful Life is : "A PIPE DREAM" !
.........................................................................................
Well, it does make one think about tossing in their hat, to be a New Board Member!
