Landscaping Minutes : August 22, 2023

Conducted another review of Ben's proposal: "Streamline Tree-Related Decisions within the Landscaping Committee". Everyone at the meeting was ok with Ben presenting it for final community approval at the first ACM in September.
Finalize the "scope of responsibility" of Landscaping Committee. The table below has been added to the Landscaping Tracker which is still a work in progress.

Came quite a bit closer to having a working version of the Landscaping Tracker which will help drive prioritization of landscaping activities (work parties or folks "going it alone) around the community. Next steps:
- Walk around property and ensure that zones have been identified throughout the property
- If more zones are added to the "adopt a spot" program, we'll beg Emilie to update the birds eye visual she did in 2022.
- For each "adopt a spot" zone, identity which activities (as identified in table above) need to be accounted for in each zone.
- Hoping we can complete this ^^^^ before the September Landscaping meeting.
