Facility Manager - Report
Mr. Wilson gave an overview of the facility manager’s report, copy of which was included in the agenda package.
Ms. Suchsland stated I need clarification of what you want to do moving forward with the fertilization program. There is an option to do granular to help green up and will have a longer residual, however we have to be careful around the ponds. Ryan thought we always did liquid and that is probably the reason. The other reason is when you do granular you don’t get the weed and feed and you are more susceptible to weeds and have to conquer those through the summer. I need to know your direction; remain with the liquid or try the granular.

Mr. Soriano stated I will look at the contract, I don’t think you are limited to one or the other. The expectation is that everything is taken care of so if we have to do the weeds separate you are going to have to figure out a way to do that separate. We don’t want to do granules inside the fencing of the amenity center. We don’t use granules in areas where kids are playing. We have granules spelled out for hedges and trees.
Mr. Brown asked what is the cost difference in the longevity of each treatment?
Ms. Suchsland stated the fertilization is going to be little bit more costly than your regular treatment. I’m not quite sure because we use a vendor.
Mr. Lopez stated I would like to see the cost difference in fertilization.
Ms. Suchsland stated I also put in a proposal to separate the clock zones at the front entranceway that we share.
Mr. Soriano stated the clock is being replaced, we split repairs 50/50 on items like that. Our water is still 50/50. We are going to get a credit on the next couple of bills for water until it evens back out.
Ms. Suchsland stated I have talked to Ruppert and they agreed that we should have two separate clocks.
Mr. Soriano stated if I’m aware of those things I can work with the guys in charge. As far as I know it is replacing the same clock. If Ruppert did make plans we have to address that afterwards.
Ms. Bowen stated the fact that we have had issues with irrigation and clocks not running right, we should have two separate clocks.
Mr. Lopez stated I agree.
Ms. Bowen asked if we get our own clock what does that do to the contract? Mr. Soriano stated it is just the clock.
Ms. Suchsland stated it would help if they don’t disturb our run times. Ms. Bowen asked is this within the budget?
Ms. Giles stated it is within his spend limit.

SIXTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Supervisor’s	Requests	and	Audience
Comments
Ms. Bowen stated on Amberly the big open area by the mailboxes, the homeowner who lives next to that had a party with a massive bounce house, golf carts on there and the use of

common space has come up before. My concern is the liability and having motorized vehicles on the sod and it happens continually. It went on all day Saturday and might encourage other homeowners to do the same. I think a communication should go out to the homeowners as a whole and to this particular homeowner.
Mr. Soriano stated this is education for the homeowners, because you cannot use that for a private event.

SEVENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Financial Reports
