Council is aware of access issues affecting Building 244 for mail delivery. The mail carrier key is working with Building 240 and 248, but for some reason it has stopped working this past week in Building 244.
While the cause of the issue is investigated, please help out the mail carrier by letting her into the Building 244 lobby to deliver the mail. Mail delivery usually happens between 12–1 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The two signs that had gone crooked in separate incidents along the left side of the entrance to Copperstone have been straightened and secured by the Council President.

After:
Omicron started a bit late, but finished installing the new enterphones in all three buildings right on schedule.
A few items to note:
I’m assuming Omicron will provide more information on the operation of the units. I will post any new information if I get it.
UPDATE: The 240 building enterphone replacement is complete, see photo below.
The previously announced schedule for Enterphone replacement was:
However, Omicron was not onsite yesterday. I can confirm the 240 building Enterphone is being replaced as I type this, so they appear to be one day behind schedule. I’m not sure how this will affect Buildings 244 and 248.
I’ll update this post if I get more information.
NOTE: Fobs will continue to work normally while the Enterphone is being replaced, so entering a building will work as normal for residents. Each Enterphone is estimated to be out of service for about eight hours while being replaced.
UPDATE, July 17, 2026: Terra Firma has removed the giant pile of weeds. See first photo below.
Original post:
Tonight, Council President Jeff and I tackled the forest of weeds that had grown in the planter adjacent to Building 248.
On June 23rd, it looked like this:
In the three weeks since, they had grown even denser and lush.
We started at the east end and worked our way west, leaving a pile of ex-weeds in the middle. These will be picked up by the landscaping company Terra Firma.
This is what it looked like when we finished, just shortly after sunset:
You may be wondering how the weeds grew so much in the first place and the answer is: bad timing.
When Phase 1 of the membrane project ended, the previous council made the decision to have sod placed in the planters. It was further agreed to by all parties to wait until the weather was better before placing the sod, to give it a better chance to take root and grow. Unfortunately this came so close to the summer water restrictions that it would not have been possible to properly water the sod, and it likely would have died.
Mother Nature took over and weeds began sprouting up, growing rapidly.
The sod will get placed after water restrictions are lifted (or shortly before) and in the meantime, we’ll make sure the weed forest doesn’t regrow.
Why didn’t Terra Firma do the weeding? They had been told not to do work in the courtyard area due to the membrane project and besides, sometimes it’s fun to roll up your sleeves and do something to improve your home.
The official notice from Robinson Roof Solutions is below.
The work will take place across all three buildings in the complex.
