II.      MEMBERSHIP FORUM

Gary Bria was in attendance to express concern with the acceptance of one bid that was approved for the landscaping project at Zolezzi Lane and Fieldcreek Lane.  Mr. Bria stated he agreed with neighbors the appropriate procedure is to request three bids for consideration and to approve one.

Jeff York, a member residing on Chinchilla Lane, was in attendance to request street repairs and to report the debris and condition of the residence located at 90 Chinchilla Lane.  Mr. York was advised to contact the Washoe County Public Works Department to request street repairs.   B. J. Brown stated the homeowner would be notified regarding the condition of the residence at 90 Chinchilla Lane.

A discussion was held and it was decided the Fieldcreek Homeowners’ Association would send a letter to the Washoe County Public Works Department to request street repairs on Fieldcreek Lane, Chinchilla Lane, Autumn Lane and Autumn Court  and to print a request in the Newsletter  encouraging residents to do the same.

III.    VENDOR REPORTS

Gary Bria was present to provide a report that included:

·      On July 27, 2006, the landscaping located on the west side and east side of Fieldcreek Lane was damaged by a vehicle.  The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office was notified and damage reports were filed.

·      A kit was purchased to repair water equipment at Evening Song and Thomas Creek Roads.

·      A tree located in the lawn on Silver Wolf Lane died as a result of too much water.  Recommendations to consider for replacing the landscaping  were grass, shrubs or another tree suitable for the area.

·      Recommended options for landscaping in areas on Silver Wolf Lane where water drains off the grass at the edges were to move the sprinkler heads  or replace the grass with other type landscaping since the area is poor for growing grass and run off will occur when grass is planted to the edge.
