RE: TENNIS COURT INQUIRY

The 8 weeks of planned work on the Courts got announced just before it was to be started and took most owners by surprise.

To many things at Holly Mill seem to be done without any notification to the general membership of the HOA, this posting and another to a second forum should get the matter looked into.

1) When was this project decided on,

2) Why wasn’t more notice given to residents about the dates for closing the courts,

3) What is the cost of the new courts,

4) How many firms put in bids to do the work,

5) What were the competing bids for the job and list those firms bidding,

6) Does Douglas Property Management have any ownership interests in the firm selected to do the job, this inquiry to include any ‘individuals’ working for DPM.
