Les Lavin reported that in the process of rebuilding lattice work for
the back of the Gazebo, he has encountered large amounts of gnarly
roots that are wound around the lattice currently in place. The
consensus of the Board was to ask Management to request a proposal
from Greg Moore to clean out this area.
Discussion ensued about how mowing is being accomplished around some
of the newer tree plantings. It was agreed Management will spray
Round-up that will leave a ring around the trees and allow tall grass
to grow near the roots; the landscaping contractor will be advised to
stay away from the rings when mowing.
It was noted that thistles are growing prominently in a particular
area of the Promenades; Management agreed to spray these thistles with
Round-up.
