YerbaBuena, and “The Seasons of Green Trails” on Main Street south
of YerbaBuena.
The purging of old records is complete and records filling four
letter-size boxes were disposed.
The trail sealcost/crackfill is about 90% complete, however, trail
replacement has been delayed due to heavy rainfall.
Management noted there are approximately 650 trees in the right away
and common area and suggested that Board members walk their areas to
determine approximately how many trees in their respective area may
need a Roundup application. As Management receives these estimates,
they will in turn email this information to all other Board members.
As weather permits, spraying of Roundup around trees will begin.
A portion of trail behind HF2019-21 is too low and collects water
before draining south. Tom Lee will create a swale in this trail
area.
