The start of the rainy season will make this worse and will make it more difficult to treat. • Fertilization due to be done again. The last application was in November. • Crotons have grown significantly in recent months and are looking good. • The condition of the Purple Queen is variable, with some doing extremely well and others barely surviving. • Some sections of Spider Lilies have die back which appears to be due to fungus or accumulated leaf debris. • Dayna will provide pictures of the current status of Radio Road East prior to the turn over. VII. Landscape Maintenance Report— Commercial Landscape Maintenance- Robert Kindelan Mr. Kindelan updated the Committee on landscape maintenance noting: • Mr. Kindelan gave a short overview of the maintenance activities. • The Committee is concerned about keeping up weekly maintenance when the Road Maintenance takes over maintaining the median. VIII. Old Business Discussion on "transfer of Responsibility for Landscape Maintenance of Radio Road East to Road Maintenance." Road Maintenance is scheduled to assume maintenance of all the medians effective October 1, 2017. A general discussion was held on how the Advisory Committee would operate after the turn over date. All members were asked to think about how they would like to operate and be prepared to make a formal recommendation at their last official meeting in September. IX. New Business A. Recommendation to BCC to Dissolve the Radio Road East MSTU. With the removal of the responsibility of the landscape maintenance, and the tax income, the reason for the continuation of the MSTU has been removed. The Ordinance 2012-17 specifies that the MSTU may be dissolved after the completion of the landscape project, when the loan has been paid off, and the Advisory Board requests it of the BCC.
