Maintenance
Sisu contract renewal - forwarded to Monica
Sisu informed us that they do not handle the clean up needed in the recreation park, so far all we have quoting is R&D Landscape
FD Hayes - lighting issues and warranty issues - they put really bright lights because it sounded like they were under the impression that bright lights were needed to prevent vandalism
Beech nut tree in the nature park needs taken down it has a disease - a neighbor (horticulturist from MSU) brought it to our attention, it could get beech snap, could be a safety issue
Received notice from Meridian Township about some sidewalks that will be fixed
