5.04 GARDENING REPORT – Director Pollock reported that the gardeners are doing a good job, replacing plants as needed. President Rugar requested the gardeners clean up the area behind garages that they use. Director Pollock reported that a resident had requested that a 5-gallon plant the gardeners had planted by replaced by a 15-gallon plant. The replacement plant would cost about $90 more. Motion by Candy Pollock, seconded by Glen Grossman, to share in half the cost ($75.00 toward the estimated plant cost of $125.00) of replacing a plant in a resident’s backyard that was larger than the gardeners had planted. Motion did not carry (by 3-2). Motion by Candy Pollock, seconded by Stephanie Lee, that in the future if residents requests to plants that are larger/different than the in the gardeners plan and budget, they may do so if they pay the difference between the budgeted cost and the cost of a larger/different plant. Motion carried.

5.06 MAINTENANCE REPORT

President Rugar reported Section 1 work was complete on two units, that all roof repairs had been done and that the drainage problem between Units 32 and 34 has been resolved. Gutter cleaning was started but not completed. He will follow up with Roger Axt to see if he is contracting with anyone else to complete the job.

President Rugar reported large trucks continue to have difficulty leaving the Glen. He pointed out that neither the CC&Rs nor the Rules & Regs have any wording about limiting entrance to a particular size vehicle and suggested we should consider adding some wording to one or the other. Director Lauritsen will research size of recycling trucks since they seem to be the largest that can maneuver the turn. With that information in hand, Ken Morley will draft appropriate wording.

5.08 WILDLIFE CONTROL REPORT – No report.

5.09 ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL REPORT – Ken Morley reported on the final work on Unit 26’s patio was approved.
