Mrs. Clary: stump was not removed from Lark entrance with the tree, but has been ground down to ground level. We will follow up with the company that did the work. Approximately 20 sidewalks have cracked/buckled, is there budget to fix? We will prioritize based on severity and get bids for repairs. Picnic table is broken-can we replace them with ones that match the benches? Gary will shop for some. Vacant lot near pool: is it possible to put in a sand volley ball court? Drainage plan follow up. Flooding near Fieldcrest. Dead landscaping on Greenfield needs attention – landscaping budget will include all entrance monuments.
