At a meeting* on the greenbelt Thursday, October 18, it was agreed that the contractor and its landscape subcontractor would resod a patchy area of the lawn which failed due to a faulty sprinkler control valve. They will install a new valve, install one new sprinkler head for another area with insufficient coverage, and water the new sod for three weeks. If the sod is well established after three weeks, the City will approve it, the fence will be removed and our regular landscape contractor will maintain the turf as always. Optimistically, that would have the fence down toward the end of November. The City Attorney is to keep us apprised of steps as they are accomplished.

 

• The City may delay approving the sod supplier thus delaying the contractor.
• The City’s contractor may not install the sod promptly.
• The City’s contractor may not water the sod properly.
• The City may delay the final inspection and approval.

I asked the City attorney for an update yesterday (October 25). He did not respond.

As I get new information, I will continue to keep you updated.
