Sunset Bay Pier Lighting Update

Hi All
I would like to share that the Sunset Bay Community fishing pier now has electrical power out to the T-head and two 400 watt green fishing lights installed that are functional. The electrical contractor is about 90% complete complete on installing the lighting and some other additions and should be complete within a week or two. Phil Hanley with ERGIS Environmental assisted in verifying the required utility easement to route electrical power to the pier walkway entrance did not impact any wetlands and forwarded this information to the Corps of Engineers. The trenching and laying of underground electrical conduit for AEP to run wiring was completed in Feb. 2011 by P&D Trucking. AEP came in shortly thereafter, ran wiring and set a power transformer near the entrance of the pier. The electrical contractor than installed a panel, meter can, and AEP came back out and installed the meter and ran power to same.
Nueces Electrical Cooperative (NEC) was selected as the electrical service provider. Resendez Services was approved after reviewing several bids to install wiring and electrical components for lighting on the fishing pier.
The switch panel that operates the fishing lights is located behind the pier security gate and can be accessed after Sunset Bay property owners enter the security gate code and pass thru the security gate. I will be posting additional information regarding the lighting later when it is 100%.
If any Sunset Bay property owners come out to try the lights out and fish, please be sure to turn the light switch off to the 400 watt lights before exiting the pier. Contact me, Kelly Flanagan, at 361-550-1683 if anyone has any questions.
Debbie Ortiz has prepared an excellent quarterly newsletter and it is posted on the Events /News web page  on the POA Sunset Bay website. Please be sure to check it out.
We also have a couple of new property owners in Sunset Bay which I will introduce in another post.
I would like to thank all the Sunset Bay property owners who have paid their 2011 annual assessment fee to the POA in a timely manner. Please send in the annual assessment POA fee as soon as you can if you have not done so already.
Thank you.
