BUSINESS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Basketball backboard: the Board gave approval to Joe Snyder to purchase and install the basketball backboard.
Pool update: The Board approved a proposal from Sparkling Pools for testing the baby pool structure and plumbing for the source of a leak. Doug reported a clarification on the handling of the pool backwash. Franconia officials confirmed that the backwash must be pumped into the sewer lines. Franconia would grant permission to use the sewer lines, and Telford Borough would levy a fee to hook up to the waste water treatment plant. Doug also learned that the Franconia Sewer Authority would be replacing sewer lines throughout the development. Jeanne reported that an alternative exists that would eliminate the need for a backwash system. The type of system would be determined after the baby pool testing was finished and other maintenance issues documented.
