President's and Manager's reports

A replacement piece for the broken playground slide will be installed after delivery, due later this month.

Mulch in the playground area was delivered and spread, thanks to residents Rick Rhodes and Tom Kraft. Mulch for the rest of the common ground area is being negotiated with the county. It will be mulch that's processed at the county landfill.

The on-again, off-again front lights will be addressed March 9, when a lighting contractor is scheduled to fix the problem.

Property manager Jerry Zalben reported on the bids received so far on repaving the Islesworth streets. One or two more bids are expected. The work is for approximately 16,000 square yards, and includes 32 manholes, 8 water valves, 13 stop sign bars, and 19 blue reflectors. Mr. Zalben noted that the unit pricing and measurements have been varying among the bidders. Also, asphalt contractors are very busy right now, and our job is relatively small. He recommends that Islesworth wait until the market cools down to try to get the work done.

Architectural Review Committee report

The ARC noted noted again that shrubs planted in the drainage easement between lots 103 and 104 must be removed. Planting should not be done in the drainage or utility easements because it could damage underground pipes or cables.

The ARC also re-emphasized that residents who want to replace their garage door window inserts must match the existing pattern.

Landscape Committee formed

Members of a new Landscape Committee were appointed. The panel will be led by board vice president Jen Jeransky, and its members will include Dianne Buglion, Rick Rhodes, Jody Armstrong, and Dan Strohmeier. They are tasked with looking for hardier and more attractive plantings than what Pulte put in. The committee will make recommendations on what can be done first that will fit in that budget.
