seeding, pre-emergent treatments and dandelion treatments cannot be performed

An inspection tour was conducted with George Morano to
identify tree and shrub damage due to the drought and winter damage. A long
list was made of items to be replaced and/or repaired and as soon as the
sprinklers are running, this list will be addressed one building at a time.
Many, if not all, of these shrubs are to be supplied by Mignatti. Working with
township to coordinate.

specialist called to remove the tree, inspect a pear tree that apparently is
