There were no homeowners present to address the Board of Directors on issues and concerns about the community.
At the September 8, 2004, Meeting, the Board requested that a representative from Dinsmore Landscaping attend the October 13th Meeting to discuss water conservation. The Board wanted to discuss water hitting the fences from the sprinklers. Gary Ponikvar and Jim Nicholson from Dinsmore Landscaping were in attendance. The Board stated that they were concerned about water conservation. Gary, from Dinsmore, stated a good way to save water was to use flags to stick into the ground whenever a sprinkler was broken; that way the landscaper would be alerted of the problem right away. Dinsmore fixes broken sprinkler heads within 24 hours after they are reported. Dinsmore said it was impossible to prevent water from hitting the fences. They have turned down some of the nozzles to decrease the water from hitting the fence. Dinsmore also stated they would research and find out if the recycled water could help them save on water bills. The Board reiterated the fact that they wanted water to be conserved and prevent runoff from occurring. The Board is trying to prevent any wasted water usage. Dinsmore also discussed that if any plant they had installed died due to negligence, they would replace it at no charge to the Association.
The request for replace of tree was tabled at the September 8, 2004, Meeting. A homeowner residing on Lenox Place requested a replacement of a tree that was removed several months ago. The homeowner stated that the tree disappeared and he does not know what the reason for the disappearance was. The homeowner submitted a written request for replace to Merit Property Management on June 23, 2004.
