@Dash send this to Aaron for approval, gutter clearing at Mesa Gateway, $290, Thursday.

Built the packet before routing it, so Aaron is answering a priced request rather than a one line ask.

Approval request: Mesa Gateway gutter clearing
  • Scope: full gutter and downspout clear, 26 homes, Thursday.
  • Quoted: $290. Same job on the same property last September was $275, so this is a $15 move and in line.
  • Budget line: grounds and exterior, Mesa Gateway. This lands inside the remaining allocation for the quarter.
  • Habitability: not an emergency, so it does not qualify for the after-hours exception that lets Derek dispatch without sign-off.

Routed to Aaron as an approval card in his direct messages, not to this channel, so the decision sits with one named person. No work order has gone to the vendor. Nothing is scheduled until he answers.

Approved. $15 on last year is fine, and I would rather clear them before the storms.

Approved and released
  • Approval recorded against the request, with Aaron named and the time stamped.
  • Work order released to the grounds vendor for Thursday.
  • Derek, you are on the notification when they check in on site.

If Aaron had declined, or simply not answered, the vendor would never have heard from me.
