LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE REPORT — ROBERT KINDELAN, CLM
• Conditions are getting better —
o rain interfered with applications of herbicides
• weeds have exploded
• An incorrect chemical was used to spray but the weeds are being hand - pulled
• Spraying again using a different chemical
• Sheering/trimming and edging will be done
• Having sprayed for broadleaf and grassy weeds — looks better
Robert Kindelan noted the Century Link trucks have damaged the plantings where their
trucks have been parked
o Possibility the damage may have been caused by Century Link's electrical
subcontractor (utility locates)
Darryl Richard will pull the Right -of -way Permits; he will contact Century Link to
report the damage and attempt to obtain funds to cover cost of replanting.
Chairman Lewis questioned why there were so many weeds.
Rob Kindelan replied the weeds have been dormant but the heat and rain have caused
them to explode. He stated his crew will chemically treat the areas to kill the weeds and
will continue hand pulling.
Fred Rogers expressed concern that the ground may not have been prepared.
Scott Windham stated he has never sterilized soil on a project. He noted CLM will
continue using applications of herbicide (spray and granular pre- emergent) and will hand -
pull as necessary.
Chairman Lewis requested Darryl Richard and Staff continue to monitor the weed
situation.
