Sunset Pointe Landscape Advisory Committee/LA County Parks LLAD 2, Zone 21 Meeting/ October 18, 2010

Summary

Irrigation Renovation Project
The committee was informed that the the Weather-Trak irrigation system will be controlled by County Landscape Monitor Judy Benavidez. Homeowners should contact Judy with any questions or concerns regarding the performance of the new system. The current watering schedule is available upon request.

Landscape Renovation Project
Mike Kriste (Interim Special Districts Administrator) reported the results of the final walk-through with the landscape renovation contractor on 9/14/10. Approximately 7 percent of the new planting failed and will be replaced by the contractor. Mike explained that this percentage of plant failure is to be expected and within acceptable guidelines.
The landscaped area included as part of controller # 5 (on Sagecrest Circle in the vicinity of the access road to the water tank and helipad) remains to be replanted. A bid will be obtained from the landscape contractor to plant an additional 900 plants in the same area.The additional plant material will consist mainly of "Low Boy" Acacia.

Landscape Maintenance
Judy Benevidez and Richard Cambaliza (Maintenance Operations Manager/Rich Meier’s Landscaping, Inc.) were available to answer any landscape maintenance questions the committee might have. Rich Meier's crew is on site to maintain the LLAD landscape area every Thursday.

Updated Map of Sunset Pointe (LLAD 2/Zone 21)
