Mr. Schumacher will:

Consult Mettauer Environment for evaluation and recommendation of a lab to test the algae.

VII. ON GOING BUSINESS
A. Australian Pines – Pine Ridge Road
Members queried on Michelle Arnold’s thoughts after reviewing the July 10, 1985 letter to Quail
Run GC from the Board of County Commissioners on maintenance of the Australian Pine trees
bordering Pine Ridge Road. The following interpretation of the meeting between Ms. Arnold and
Mr. Schumacher on letter contents were noted:
The M.S.T.U.’s duties and responsibilities reflect the common interest of the community.
It is a County authority taxing all property owners within the defined boundaries. Accrued
funds must be expended for the equal benefit of all property owners within the M.S.T.U.
Adding maintenance activities for community assets not within the scope of the M.S.T.U.
Ordinance, such as trimming the Australian Pines, requires a revision to the Forest Lakes
Ordinance.
A Public Meeting would be necessary to solicit community feedback on any proposed
change in the M.S.T.U. Ordinance.
The Board of County Commissioners would need to approve the amendment to the
Ordinance.
During Committee discussion the following was noted:
On September 3, 2019, the Committee recommended a one-time expenditure for Australian
Pine trimming.
The M.S.T.U. has never trimmed the trees; the County assumed responsibility for tree
trimming at one time.
An invitation was extended for Ms. Arnold to attend a future meeting to review the status
of the Committee’s request and define the process going forward.
Meeting with Commissioner Taylor
Rick Korb, President Quail Run Golf Club, contacted Commissioner Taylor’s office to request a
meeting to exchange ideas on Australian Pine tree maintenance. Sherry Greco, Executive Aide to
Commissioner Taylor, responded and the following was addressed per her request:
Historical documentation of tree maintenance was provided.
Notification of the Committee’s approval to trim the trees the in the summer of 2020 and
the desire to find a permanent solution before the next mandated trimming three years
hence.
Defined the goal relative to a permanent solution for the future responsibility for trimming
the trees.
A meeting to discuss the issue was requested.
Mr. Korb and/or Mr. Burnham will update the Committee on the status of the meeting with the
Commissioner’s office at the December meeting.

Kathie Thompson and Stacie Young requested clarification of the entity responsible for swales
maintenance of their properties.

Zero Landscaping mows/trims the golf course swale abutting the back yard.
Ground Zero Landscaping will be consulted by Staff on maintenance of properties abutting the golf
course.
Swale Regrading
Ms. Thompson and Ms. Young questioned M.S.T.U.’s responsibility regarding grading of swales.
Mr. Schumacher will inspect the condition of the swales to evaluate the need to regrade.
