" (See attached) Scott Windham reported doing a drive-by with Gary Gorden, CLM and Darryl Richard to review maintenance issues on Devonshire and Radio Road: DEVONSHIRE In general the medians look healthy and well maintained with the following action items: • The majority of the Asian Jasmine has thatched together with the exception of a few bare patches. He recommends to allow the Asian Jasmine to flush out between sheerings to allow overall foliage mass to thicker,then continue to top sheer and mechanically edge the Asian Jasmine along back of gutter and edge of sidewalks on a regular basis. • CLM has been applying Basagran herbicide for the nut sedge and Fulsiade for the Torpedo Grass and other grassy weeds. In additional CLM has applied preemergent herbicides to combat new weed growth. The Advisory Committee expressed concerns over the maintenance costs for Asian Jasmine plants over the past year and future costs. Chairman Lewis suggested the Committee Members review Budget line item 16 for "Other Contractual" showing a deficit in the amount of$23,000. He explained the Project cost are 1/3 %of the entire budget. He recommended the Committee Members make a judgment call to only go to a set dollar amount and stop. Gary Gorden reported the herbicide is not killing the plants. This is a treatable issue. Scott Windham urged the Committee Members allow Gary Gorden more time to work on the Project. He interjected the Project is 90% solid. Darryl Richard concurred and stated in some areas the Project is 60-70% established. All questions were addressed by Staff, CLM and Windham Studios. Chairman Lewis moved to continue with the Devonshire Project and(Other Contractual) cost up to $100,000 to go ahead with the project and then stop. Second by John Weber. Darryl Richard recommended the Committee Members finish motion and make a separate motion"not to exceed $5,000 for supplemental plantings." 2 September 8, 2014 Chairman Lewis rescinded motion. Chairman Lewis moved to allow $70,000 in the next year budget. Darryl Richard stated the Radio Road MSTU had already approved the budget. If they continue with the motion, he will need to pull the contract because he won't be able to pay the contractor. Staff suggested the Project be evaluated in the spring to see where the Project is at. At that time there would be an option to remove the Asian Jasmine and replace it with sod. John Weber suggested the motion be tabled for one (1)month to allow Staff provide hard numbers to enable the comparison of costs before making any decisions. Chairman Lewis moved to discuss Project at the next meeting and to have Staff provide what the Asian Jasmine has cost the MSTU; total costs and total budget for weeding, new plantings and mulch. Second by John Weber. Motion carried unanimously;4— 0. Chairman Lewis moved to give Staff(Darryl) direction to allow Gary Gorden to get what needs to be done, done(plants and mulch), not to exceed$8,000. Second by Fred Rogers.

Asian Jasmine has been edged along the BOC in medians as well. • CLM is continuing with a regimen of Basagran herbicide for the nut sedge and Fulsiade for the Torpedo Grass and other grassy weeds. They are additionally applying preemergent herbicides to combat new weed growth. They need to continue to hand pull the larger weeds even if they are beginning to yellow from the herbicides due to being unsightly and unkempt in appearance. • The west ROW by the service vehide pads and lakeside park utilities cluster and the narrow median tip at Santa Barbara are consistently the worst areas for weeds in the Jasmine and need to be hand weeded in addition to herbicide applications. • As approved by the MSTU Committee, CLM planted numerous Asian Jasmine to fill in the gaps along the ROW's (12" on center). CLM needs to mulch the new plants to assist with establishment and limit weed proliferation. • Continue to monitor irrigation coverage.
