Teal Court Drainage Update
Nahn provided an account of the extra work that has been done to correct drainage issues behind Teal Court. He indicated that the erosion matt that was installed was not what had been expected. It was decided to keep the matting as is.

Nahn will contact D’Onofrio, Kottke & Associates Inc. regarding them incurring the expense of further work that is needed to correct the erosion problems that still exist. Since Bruce Holler of D’Onofrio, Kottke & Associates Inc. designed the original plan, they should be responsible for the installation of items that should have been included in that plan.

Korosec moved that Andy Inman send a letter of concern/complaint to Bruce Holler at D’Onofrio, Kottke & Associates, Inc. Halberslaben seconded the motion. The motion to have Andy Inman send a letter was unanimously approved.
