Playground

The playground is operating at 50% No more than 10 children and adults should occupy the Playground at this time until further notice

The Playground was recently opened again after being shut down for over a month. The Temporary fence was removed and the children can now use this facility .once again.

The playground was brought into discussion at our last BOS meeting May 6th,2020 for perhaps / maybe reopening soon, remember baby steps back into normalcy. This is being carefully planned by our very own CDD Chairman Mr. Larry Bradshaw, who's main concern is always for the residents of the Montecito Community. Thank you Mr. Chairman.

The bike rack assembly was drilled / refastened to the concrete slab, and the surface of the bike rack was cleaned and protected with a stainless steel conditioner which cleans & polishes the surface of the bike rack super-structure.

The Playground was CLOSED on 4/6/20 . A temporary fence was installed, made from orange barricade fencing materials and 1/2 pvc pipe as a top header. Signage went up 2 places on playground entryway. The playground will be CLOSED until further notice. The Play ground bike rack was refastened to the concrete pad in which it sits, we predrilled and will need to complete installing one more anchor fastener. This bike rack was loosened by several youth boys trying to remove the bike rack from its pad, I witnessed this from my rear office door, I yelled at the boys and they ran off. I do not believe that these boys live in Montecito Community..

The Bike racks have been loosened by young boys being boys using the bike racks to release their aggressions. I witnessed several young boys hanging and pulling /shaking the bike racks to the point that they've loosened the anchors, the Bike racks at the playground will have to be refastened and the anchor studs will need epoxied to re-secure the bike racks.

This goes to show that anything is possible, First thing this morning I received a phone call from a good Friend of mine who happens to live in the Community. It went like this RANDY, ARE YOU IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD? It just so happens that I was just entering the Community. Yes Sir I just pulled in WHY? He stated that was a PIG running loose in the Community. I could not believe my eyes ? BUT yes there was a little piglet running loose in around at the corner of Redondo / Ventura. I called the Police Dept. and they were already on their way. What a start to my day. It goes to show (JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU'VE SEEN IT ALL) ??? Never a dull moment at Montecito Beach Club! From DUCKS in the pool to pigs roaming the streets! HEEEE Heee he Amen.

Used grinder to remove the rusted pivot bearing assembly from the playground equipment superstructure (Green). capped off with Zit PVC. I completed painting the superstructure .as needed (GREEN). Also ground off pivot ball type assembly ground level and capped off with 2"pvc cap to remove the trip hazard.. (painted cap florescent orange). Blew off debris/mulch off of the playground decking as needed.

I am continuing the work at the PLAYGROUND. I should finish the painting of the superstructure of the playground next week if at all possible.

The installation of safety caps on fencing around playground has been started. There are 490 pickets total that need to be completed. The railings needed for the superstructure have been ordered and will be installed by Mr. Wellman and myself at the earliest convenience. This undertaking was in an effort to save the existing equipment, repair / replace
parts accordingly. To clean up, treat, and paint rusted areas to make the playground safer / fully functional once again. This challenge can be met, and will be met for the betterment of the Community. After the new railings are installed and secured, we will be calling on some of the men of the Community to help if! some of the cleanup and painting of the
superstructure.
