Beautification:
- When the recent snow thawed, the drainage in the South Park appeared to be working better than in the past.
- Mike is going to reach out to the tree trimming companies that provided quotes in the fall and ask them to requote the project focusing only on those trees in most need (i.e., those that present a safety hazard or danger to property).
Welcoming:
- No report; to the board’s knowledge, there have not been any recent home sales.
Social media
- The license for the Pickwick Village website will be coming due in August. Kyle suggested that the board may want to consider whether to renew the site exactly as it is or switch to a new content management system (e.g., Squarespace). He will look into some options and present them to the board.
New business
- The board discussed neighborhood improvement plans for the spring and summer:
- Seal the South Park path
- Look into landscaping options to further improve drainage, such as river birches
- Mulch around the playscapes
- Get quotes for repairing or replacing playscapes.
