3. Landscape Report
John Walker discussed the primary landscape activities during the year were the installation of back-flow valves in both irrigation systems and a change in our Landscape Maintenance Contract from Yard Dog to BHS. since Yard Dog is now concentrating on commercial business. The back-flow valve project continued over a period of several months due to schedule conflicts with the installer, weather, frozen valves and inspections.
County plans for Paradise Bay Road widening is delayed at least until 2007. Therefore, the Edgewood Village irrigation and entrance lighting changes will be postponed until a firm schedule is set by the County.
The Spring picnic was held 5/13/05 at the Deer Hollow Rd cul-de-sac with 27 attendees. As the previous Board proposed, the workday cleanup was contracted with BHS rather than depending on busy resident volunteers.
