Subject: CDD - 8.16.26.

Hi Kathleen,
I will not be able to attend the Aug 18th meeting - I will be off property that afternoon. But, here is my report:
Fountains: Light and motor repair were under warranty and reinstalled. Both fountains were cleaned and running upon departure.

Aerators: Requested additional maintenance and/or replacement for aerators 3,10 and maybe 15 as well. No happy with their performance or reliability.

Met with Adv. Aqu and Brightview to discuss weeds bordering the grass and lake banks. Confirmed the area with both vendors and came to an agreement on how to address. As soon as grass starts/touches the sandy lake bank is the dividing line. Expressed that I would like to manually cut down the very tall fennel weeds and other growth to address the eye-sore but also to aid in the erosion control efforts.
Additional crews were on property July 30th to address what was discussed. Boats are back in service, although water levels remain lower than normal, and crews are here every Thursday.

Greg is sharing updates about when the crews are on property for the erosion study - thank you! I'd be curious to see any report that have shared so far. There was an email exchange where Ted T had indicated he had an attachment, but it didnt make it to me through the forwards.
Thanks!

Subject: Managers report follow up

Hi Kathleen,
I have something to add for the meeting on the 18th.

We are redoing our pickleball area, including the fencing. I've had a couple people mention that you can use fencing for erosion control efforts. We already have rolls and rolls of this black link fencing, so I would like to inquire if the CDD board would be interested in considering that as we work to address some of these washouts?

Could you help me relay the request to them please?
