A TIDBIT

At our Coffee Meeting the Board said they are having problems with getting rid of Berry Pools. Back on August of 2007 a Berry Pool agreement was approved with having a 30 day termination notice throughout. We were also told that this monitoring service alerts Berry Pools of mechanical failures so they are corrected before they cause our pools water problems. General manager Larry DeMalade also said that Berry Pools would save our Village at least 30% on chemical costs.
On April 2009 the Board approved a higher cost Berry Pools contract that contained changes. It seems our Board now can only give a termination notice 30 days before the contract ends and now we have to tell them about a problem after it gets out of hand.

Since the contract renews itself each April, our new Board must now wait until April of 2012 before they can rid our Park of Berry Pools services. It also appears our Village is spending more, not less on chemical costs.
