3. OTHER
- Tree Trimming – Greenscapes has discontinued their tree trimming, but has a firm handling their service . The Board has Cambridge looking at competitive bids. To date all bids received are in same dollar range. For the interim we will continue with Greenscapes’ vendor and evaluate service.
- Mailboxes – Appearance of units continue to be a problem. PS ARC has asked we address issue. Our current problems with powder coated mailboxes are the same encountered by the Masters Board in 2017. Gleneagles has a similar problem – did repairs a year ago that have not lasted. Cambridge was asked to obtain quotes on mailbox repairs. Projected more than 50 boxes. This continues to be a major issue on Board future agenda.
