GOMC met on Monday, March 7th, 2016; here are the highlights of that meeting:
- High Tide impact study: a Sub-Committee has been working hard for the past 3 months to develop a multi-year plan to upgrade SI infrastructure at locations vulnerable to rising seas. They’ve identified and developed order-of-magnitude cost estimates for 30 locations that flooded during the “king tides” or late October; 3 (three) are top priority, the remainder are being assigned lower priorities for budget development purposes.
- Road Signs: about 80% have been replaced; they look great.
- Marsh Gate Bulkhead: Permits have been approved by the Army Corps of Engineers and SC OCRM. We are meeting with adjacent homeowners to finalize participation.
- Lake House: Trial LED bulbs are installed in the Lake House to verify color. The indoor pool is back to temperature after boiler repairs. An upgrade to the HVAC controls is scheduled for April.
- Storm drain cleaning, inspection and relining: Phase 1 is complete, Phase 2 will complete by mid-March. Layne Inliner, our pipe relining contractor, will start work on relining 9,500 ft. of storm water pipes this month.
