GENERAL DISCUSSION

(a) John Moore inquired as to the status of the repairs to various waterside docks and pilings as well as the status of the dredging survey. Mr. Noble reported that the new dock system for installation at 308-314 Tideway has been ordered and its installation is anticipated within the month. Six pilings have been ordered for the replacement of the missing piling at 401 Cola Ballena, and other as may be determined. Mr. Noble indicated that he hoped that the Waterside Committee would identify some additional pilings in need of replacement, as that would be more cost effective than doing one at a time. Mr. Noble also reported that the repairs to Pier #19 are now complete.

(b) Gloria Patterson of 409 Cola Ballena reported that there was a dead shrub at the front of the home. Mr. Noble will contact Pacheco Brothers Landscape to remove the dead shrub and report back to him on a recommended replacement

(c) A question regarding the forthcoming green waste disposal program was presented at this time. Mr. Noble reported that San Leandro Recycling has determined that the residents of Ballena Bay Townhouse Association are exempt from green waste disposal.

(d) Concern was expressed relative to short pilings that may be a danger in case of extreme high tides and storms, at 401 Cola Ballena and 415 Cola Ballena. The Waterside Committee and/or Vortex Diving will check into this matter and report back to the Board.
