CLM (Commercial Land Maintenance) — Robert Kindelan • The County has been experiencing problems with its central irrigation system on Route 41. Irrigation will be increased. Will check again on Friday. • Removed seed pods from Foxtails. • (Valley Stream) Mowed the Mimosa plant material approximately three weeks ago and a pink "carpet" of flowers has emerged. • (Pebble Beach) Palms will be trimmed — trees are being marked. Mike McGee stated the Plumbago plants that are near the new poles will be kept at a distance of three to four feet from the poles and the area will be kept mulched to control the weeds. Bob Kindelan noted the irrigation around the poles must be adjusted. Chairman Slebodnik noted Pebble Beach did not look good when compared to the other streets. Mr. Kindelan agreed, stating it will be restored and then mulched. Mike McGee suggested re- opening the drip line on Pebble Beach that had previously been shut off. The drop line would provide additional water to the Bougainvillea. He also suggested testing a new fertilizer ("Bougain ") which he has used at his residence for the past six months. He stated the fertilizer was developed specifically for Bougainvillea. Jennifer Tanner moved to approve testing the new fertilizer on the Pebble Beach medians.

Additionally, he noted a Bougainvillea on Rattlesnake that was too high for the remaining plants. • Mulching will begin within the next two weeks. • Not enough restoration to justify waiting. • Water usage has been good.
