"Sprinkler System Maintenance." He requested that Ms. Soto include it under Line Item
#23,"Lighting Maintenance. "
He further noted the expense for Whited Holiday Decor,which had also been listed under
Line Item #23, should be included under Line Item#25,"Other Miscellaneous."

Caroline Soto referenced Line Item#33 and explained the category had previously been
titled"Transfers to Fund 111"but was changed to "Reimbursement for Staff Support."
Line Item #38,"Reserves"are ear-marked for"Catastrophe/Hurricane"relief.
It was suggested that the next budget should allocate more funds to"Catastrophe/Hurricane"
relief because$100,000 is not sufficient. Costs have increased significantly since Hurricane
Wilma.
Chairman Slebodnik noted the Reserves had been built up to$250,000 at one point, but the
lighting project and the sidewalk project depleted it to$100,000.

VIII. LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT'S REPORT--MCGEE&ASSOCIATES
A. General Maintenance Issues
(Attached: "Landscape Observation Report,"dated January 20, 2014)
• Sight Line Issue:
Michael McGee inspected Median #5 -Pebble Beach Circle and St. Andrew's,
and Median#9- Valley Stream Circle and St.Andrew's. He noted the plants have
been trimmed to the same height as the Juniper(i.e., 18-inches).
o Median#5: Remove Plumbago shrub beds and replant with small-leaf
(red)Crown of Thorns or dwarf Oyster plants
o Median#9: Remove Bougainvillea and Firebush shrubs and replant with
small-leaf Blueberry Flax lily
o Some plantings(large hedge)are on private property and may be located
in the Right-of-Way(at Baltusror and Pebble Beach)—not maintained by
MSTU
Darryl Richard noted if there have been complaints concerning impeded vision,
either Code Enforcement or the Right-of-Way Department could be notified. Another
option is to notify the Homeowners Association to request that the homeowner trim
the planting down to 18-inches.
Mr. McGee suggested planting options: Mimosa,small Bromeliads,peanut ground
cover
• Water Consumption: Has been reduced
• Royal Palm sign: Needs to be refurbished by the County Club—it is not
responsibility of MSTU
Chairman Slebodnik noticed mildew is growing on the back of some monuments
(near signage on Pinehurst). He stated the plantings need to be"spruced up."
Darryl Richard stated low pressure cleaning with a solution of bleach and water
could be effective.
Jennifer Tanner stated Alan Cooper,Manager of the Hibiscus Golf Course,will retire
in February and suggested scheduling meeting with Mr. Cooper and his replacement.
Chairman Slebodnik stated he will contact the Golf Course office.
