C. Status Report
1. Trees
Many of the residents Mr. Schumacher contacted to solicit agreement to the Sidewalk Tree
Project Replacement Plan, expressed a preference to forego new trees in the Right of Way
(ROW) abutting their property.
Six (6) Crepe Myrtle and two (2) Queen Crepes will be planted within the next two weeks.
Mr. Schumacher will re -contact residents who declined trees when the new trees are planted
to provide them an opportunity to reconsider their decision.
Homeowners on the cul-de-sacs were previously notified in writing by the M.S.T.U.
regarding their responsibly to maintain trees in the ROW (exclusive of branches over hanging
the sidewalk for which the M.S.T.U. assumes responsibility). It was noted that Ground Zero's
Landscape contract does not include structural pruning of M.S.T.U. trees along the Forest
Lakes Blvd. sidewalk but does include fertilization.
Mr. Goody motioned to approve homeowners' option to accept or decline replacement
MSTU sidewalk trees in the Right of Way adjoining their land for trees damaged in

against. Mr. Fogg opposed

A "Do Not Enter" sign will be added to the program for placement on Forest Lakes
Boulevard, south end of the Pine Ridge Road inbound entrance median.
The Committee motioned on June 6, 2019 to approve a 25 -mph speed limit on roadways and
15- mph yellow advisory signs on curves. The Traffic Operations Department drove the roads
and concurred with the Committees recommendation.
No responses were received for a Request for Quote (RFQ) for sign replacement and
installation, advertised twice on BidSync, the County's internet-based quote solicitation
system. Lykins Signtek's quote in the amount of $17,595.00, received post deadline, is under

The project will be funded by the Capital Improvements budget category.

community signage. Second by Ms. Bell. Carried unanimously 5 — 0.

Three Staff Gauges to measure water level and flow in the lakes were purchased. Two gauges
will be installed at the entry and exit sides of Lake 5. An additional gauge was installed at the
weir.
Data collection will assist the County and Agnoli, Barber and Brundage in determining weir
water levels at the southwest corner compared with recommended levels.
A survey, based on a global reference point, will be ordered to establish a common reference
with the Golden Gate Canal Study.
Mr. Schumacher emailed a portion of Agnoli, Barber and Brundage's (ABB) Gorden River
Watershed Study to Advisory Committee members.
4. Light Pole Re -Numbering
Light pole renumbering on the north side of Forest Lakes Boulevard to eliminate numeric
duplication, including letter designation on the entry way pole, and provide ease of

Ms. Rosio Garcia will update the map to reflect the current pole numbers and integrate the
data into the Cartegraph Asset Tracking and Work Maintenance Inventory .System.

Water Leak
An irrigation leak was reported in the vicinity of Emerald Greens Condominiums and Woodshire
Lane. Mr. Schumacher noted the M.S.T.U. is not responsible for irrigation maintenance in that
location.
Australian Pine Tree Trimming on Pine Ridge
The trees, owned by the Quail Run Golf Club, are due for trimming in August 2020. Prior
communication from the Transportation Department cited height interference with light poles,
hazardous debris and impediment to traffic necessitates scheduled maintenance every three (3) years.
Mr. Barry recommended the tree trimming expense be considered a Capital Maintenance Project,
funded by the Forest Lakes M.S.T.U. Capital Improvements Budget category, on termination of the
Bond payments in 2022.

accumulation adjacent to her condominium during storm events, Mr. Barry noted the M.S.T.U.
created a drainage swale in the area years ago.
