Birdsong Estates Neighborhood Association is group of
neighborhood residents working together to strengthen the sense of community
and to preserve and enhance the quality of life in Birdsong Estates. We take
pride in our neighborhood, and we want to make sure it provides a higher
standard of living for our residents. Benefits of the BENA include use of the
clubhouse for special events, as well as, use of the community pool.
The purpose of this web site is to give the residents of Birdsong Estates a way
to easily communicate with one another, and find important information about
the neighborhood. Through this web site, residents with be able to find officer
contact information, dates and times of upcoming neighborhood events, and an
online clubhouse schedule and reservation system. There are also links to
businesses and government offices in the Bartlett community, as well as, a
message board for neighbors to read and post information on different topics,
including a 'for sale' section.

Emergency Neighborhood Meeting to Discuss Pool Issues - Time & Date TBD
Pool Issues - Tuesday, June 15, 2010 @ 11:49 AM
A lot of rumors have been going around about the pool. This is what we know (or
have been told). The rope was broken some time on Thursday, June 10th. The
board was informed (not confirmed) that children (ages unknown) took the floats
off the rope and began playing football with them. An unidentified adult was in
the pool area at the time and did not take any action to stop the children. The
rope was put in storage while we got the parts needed to repair the rope to
avoid any further damage.
We cannot let people swim without the rope being in place. This is a TN State
Health Department regulation. We can be fined and/or the pool can be shut down
if the Health Department stops by for a random check (which they do) and the
rope is not in place.
When returning to the pool to fix the rope on Sunday morning, June 13th, gravel
was found in the pool, and the water was very cloudy after being crystal clear
(and free of gravel) on Saturday. This raised questions of sabotage, and the
board questioned the safety of the water. We contacted Wieland Pools on Monday,
June 14th to explain the situation, and we were informed the gravel could not
just be vacuumed out of the pool as this can potentially harm the pool pump.
We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused everybody.The pool is
important to many people in the neighborhood, but there are some who just don’t
seem to respect the pool rules and regulations.The board members cannot police
the pool all the time. The board members have responsibilities to work and
family just like everybody else. We will address issues as soon as possible,
but we may not be available for immediate response. We need the help of all the
residents to keep our pool safe and running smoothly. Each resident has an
obligation to police the pool and confront those who are not following the pool
rules and regulations. If offenders will not cooperate, try to contact one
of the board members. If no board members are available, please contact the
Bartlett Police department.
A neighborhood meeting will be called soon to discuss the ongoing issues with
the pool. We will listen to your concerns and try to come to a resolution that
is beneficial to everybody, including the possibility of changing and/or
amending the pool rules and regulations.
Wieland Pools came out Tuesday, June 15th to remove the gravel,
service the pool, reconnect the safety rope, and get the water back to a safe
swimming status.
THE POOL IS OPEN!!
