Engineer
Mr. Duncan stated he had nothing to report but would answer any questions.

Field Manager’s Report
Mr. Tindall presented the operations and maintenance report and advised that overall site conditions appeared to be in good order. Routine maintenance items were reviewed, including palm trimming and ongoing monitoring of previously identified landscape concerns. He stated that certain plant material previously thought to require replacement appeared to be recovering, and staff recommended allowing additional time to determine the extent of regrowth before proceeding with further replacement work.
Mr. Tindall discussed the possibility of installing the remaining landscape lighting at the Redwood entrance and noted that a proposal had been prepared for the work. He presented a fuel surcharge request from the landscaping vendor, explaining that the surcharge would be based on national fuel averages and would apply on a tiered basis when fuel prices exceeded specified thresholds. He indicated that the surcharge would terminate if fuel prices dropped below the stated benchmark and suggested that any approved adjustment be limited through the end of the fiscal year.
Ms. Burns discussed the proposed fuel surcharge requested by the landscaping contractor to offset increased fuel costs. She explained that the surcharge would be implemented through a contract addendum and would remain in effect through September 30, 2026, the end of the current fiscal year. She noted that the contractor should account for such costs in its proposal for the upcoming fiscal year.

On MOTION by Ms. Roden, seconded by Ms. Hazelrig, with all in favor, the Fuel Surcharge through September 30, 2026, was approved.

Mr. Tindall discussed a proposal for replacement of certain trees and landscaping materials that are not expected to recover. He explained that this proposal was intended as a reduced alternative to a previously considered replacement plan, which had been estimated at nearly
$50,000. He advised that several of the affected plantings appeared to be recovering and recommended allowing additional time to determine which materials would ultimately require replacement. He noted that the final scope of replacement work would be evaluated later in the summer once the condition of the landscaping could be more accurately assessed.
Ms. Burns advised that $12,000 remains budgeted for landscape replacement in the current fiscal year and that no funds from that budget have been expended to date.

On MOTION by Ms. Shockley, seconded by Ms. Roden, with all in favor, Replacing of Trees and Landscaping Materials, was approved.

Mr. Tindall presented a proposal to install the remaining landscape lighting at the Redwood Lane entrance, noting that all other entrances currently have lighting and that certain related infrastructure, including the meter and panel, appears to already be in place. He explained that the purpose of the proposal was to complete the entrance improvements and referenced the quoted cost for the work.
Ms. Burns discussed whether the lighting installation should have been completed by the developer and whether the proposed work was already included in the developer’s scope. It was agreed that this would be confirmed before moving forward. She discussed obtaining an additional quote for comparison.
The Board approved a motion authorizing the proposed work on a not-to-exceed basis, subject to confirmation that the work is not already being performed by the developer and directed staff to obtain additional quotes.

On MOTION by Ms. Shockley, seconded by Ms. Hazelrig, with all in favor, Lighting at the Redwood Lane entrance with an NTE amount of $2,241.28, was approved.
