Gardening: Sabe had walked the property with Steve and a possible landscape Architect.  She had agreed to submit a proposal to Steve.  Lauralynn said she would call Tuscany Landscapes and also get a proposal.  Steve was still waiting to hear back from some other potential contractors.

Swimming Pool:  Lauralynn said that a glass pane in the roof had been broken.  A replacement pane had been ordered and would be installed as soon as possible.  Homeowners were asked to be very careful when using the pool it was possible that glass splinters would continue to fall from the roof.  It was recommended that water shoes were used until the repair and clean up was complete.  Lauralynn said she would post a sign to this effect in the pool.  Lauralynn said that the pool subcommittee will present a plan to homeowners at the annual meeting on renovations to the pool and pool building.

Tree Care: Lauralynn said that Steve was awaiting approval from Dobbs Ferry to remove the damaged tree along Broadway near the tennis court.  When this was obtained Rayal Tree Service will be on the property remove the tree and also stump in the traffic circle closest to the exit.
