Updates on reserve study, CPI violations and bulkheads

 
Public Works Office Manager Linda Martin on Saturday led an update on the "DMA Lite Study" of Ocean Pines' reserves. 
 
The final draft of the updated study comes after several months of work and research by Virginia-based firm Design Management Associates Inc., the Budget and Finance Committee, and Ocean Pines staff. The study was first commissioned in 2015 and completed in 2018. 
 
Martin, during the regular Board meeting on Saturday, said Ocean Pines received the updated study in September. The Association supplied copies to the Budget and Finance Committee, which reviewed the document and sent back several questions last week. 
 
She said those questions will be reviewed and addressed during a public working session hosted by the committee and scheduled on Wednesday, Nov. 10 at 9 a.m. in the Clubhouse Meeting Room.
 
Martin also offered updates on recent Compliance, Permit and Inspections (CPI) activities, which she said have been very busy during the last several months. 
 
Year to date, she said the department received 478 violations, with 410 of those having been closed out. CPI received 29 new violations in September and closed out 48 cases. 
 
"We do appreciate everyone that has reported violations to us, because we do follow up on everything that comes through," she said.
 
Martin said work to repair Golf Course bulkheads started in August and wrapped up on Oct. 8. The total cost of the repairs was just over $200,000. 
 
She added emergency bulkhead repairs are ongoing at two homes on Goldeneye Court. Bulkhead work will next move to Pintail Drive and Crab Cay Court.
