Jose Carnuayo reported some irrigation communication damage issues caused by
lightning. Once existing Bermad pulse counter is working, it is recommended to set a
high use alarm for the system,when it exceeds 40,000 gallons per week.
Coronado Parkway and Hunter Boulevard
• Estimates have been submitted and approved for replacements when flooding
occurred. Flooding did not reoccur on medians 1, 2, and 4.
• Mulch is totally gone On medians on 3 and 6.
The pole was removed, which helped drainage some. ABB Engineering is doing
an analysis.
Mike McGee asked if the Advisory Committee would want to mulch or dress up median
3 and 6. He noted typically from this point in the season, until we get around to the rainy
season, we do not have a typical rainy flood, and you may be taking a chance.
Darryl Richard trusted Mike McGee's recommendation,to hold off on medians 3 and 6,
and not spend public funds. It is a Storm Water issue. He noted a lot of activity to due
refurbishment projects. He suggested medians 3 and 6 are raked out and flowers
removed.
Peggy Harris stated the problems on median 1 and 2 was not from the flooding but due
to the disaster of non-care. This problem goes way back to the beginning.
Discussion was made on not hiring landscape and irrigation contractors to do the same
project.
Darryl Richard noted Mike McGee prepared a sketch of proposed refurbishments of the
medians. He asked Janet to provide estimates to be reviewed at the next meeting.
A consensus was formed to do median 1, 2, and 4.
Mike McGee gave instructions to Hannula Landscaping for raking medians 3 and 6. He
stated the Flax Lilies should be left in. On the south end of median 6; pull out the
Lantana. He stated it was not a good idea to rake roots away.
Darryl Richard will give a Storm Water update at the next meeting.
Discussion was made on the pump alarm system and how to adjust it.
