Old Business

have two bids; we would like three.

 

On-going litigation: Bill Yesowitch reported that we are done. We signed the paperwork.
The matter is resolved.

 

Power Washer Unit: The new unit will be called Bernie’s Wagon and will be lettered as
such on the side. It will read Charlie’s Water on the front of the water tank
because Charlie Sanfilippo came up with the idea of how to fill the tank free.

 

Hedges: Mike reported that we
are hoping the rain will bring new growth. It will be six or seven months
before they are trimmed. We will exhaust all possibilities before we replace
all of them.

 

New Business

 

Fruit Trees: We do not allow any and
all new fruit trees in Delray Villas. If you have fruit trees, please pick up
the fruit that falls. The fruit attracts rodents.
