· Park Issues: maintenance company was contacted about the “brown grass”; it appears someone (children?) changed the controls, turning off the water, soon after the grass was fertilized resulting in chemical burn; parents urged to watch their children; also: please provide trash bags to kids when they bring snacks; do not allow children under 12 years of age to play unattended in the park.
· Newspaper-Delivery: local newspaper was contacted about a delivery person with an overly loud car (possibly missing a muffler) that woke up neighbors at 4:00 in the morning; apparently this person has been removed from this route
· Abandoned House: Bank of America was contacted about the state of the abandoned house on Saxon Ct; pictures were taken; BofA said they were getting bids from a landscaping company but no contract yet; if no response by Friday August 6, a group of neighbors will gather and take care of the overgrown yard
· Architectural Review: it was pointed out that permission needs to be obtained from the architectural review committee if a tree over 4” in diameter is to be cut down; last year a tree cutting service was utilized by several neighborhood homeowners without approval; also asked neighbors to inform the architectural review committee of any upcoming construction on the property, so that measures can be put in place (alert other neighbors, provide guidelines, etc)
· Lovebird found on Earls Court
· A Community Garden was suggested, no final decision was made, pending further examination
