Summer Newsletter Report
August 24th, 2008
|
Last summer, the committee consisted of just a
few members. That has now grown to about
seven. We appreciate all input and would always
welcome more volunteers. Our latest major task
was to replace the landscape beds we inherited
from our developer. We developed the following
action list:
Short term:
1. Determine who will provide maintenance for the next 90 days and how much money and effort is needed for maintenance of current 4 beds considering most new planting is drought tolerant.
Completed.
2. Buy and permanently secure benches for the pocket park. Completed.
3. Begin analysis of duties for maintenance of the 4 beds and the turf. Determine if this should be done separately or together.
In process.
4. Determine cost and manner of new bed lighting and get it installed using a new electric meter. In process.
Long term:
1. As part of effective management of our resources, bid landscaping every three years beginning this spring. Base the bidding process on the decision in point three of the Short Term activities and contractor performance expectations.
In process.
2. Analyze the Christmas lighting and determine if changes are wanted, bid, install. Not yet complete.
3. Make a “procedure book” for future landscape liaison so duties are clear and things are not missed. Not done yet.
4. Look at long term projects such as pond and outside fence beds.
Thank you for letting us serve!
