Guilbeau Park Christmas Caroling--Come Join Us
GPOA Board Approves Annual Budget
    The GPOA Board of Directors approved the annual budget at the November 21st       Association meeting.  Proposals for the budget were submitted by committee and board members over the last four meetings and each item was reviewed thoroughly.  Association members were also asked for input and opinions of the budget proposals at the annual budget meeting in October and discussions continued in each meeting since.
    A great deal of effort was spent by Carol Wilson preparing the budget and the Board reviewing each itemized expense to balance this year's budget. 
    This year's budget also includes moving funds from the special repair and maintenance fund for repairs on our pool.  As reported in previous newsletters, the pool is in need of expensive repairs.  It is 18 years old and starting to show its age.  This year we will spend $20,000 to replaster the pool bottom which is cracking and breaking off, causing cut feet and putting the structural integrity of the pool at risk.  We will also bring the pool into new Texas safety code compliance by adding tile lane lines, fixing the edge tile markers, putting a second drain in the baby pool, and putting in an emergency shut off switch in the pump room.  Other pool repairs will include repairing the cabana roof, new shade covers for life guards, medical supplies, deck repair, and more.  Dale Figart, pool manager and pool committee chairperson, will head up the efforts.
    You can view the itemized budget either at the management office or by contacting Carol Wilson, president.
