Brickman has completed the perennial pruning and has started the dormant pruning and landscape bed preparations. Tony submitted an article for inclusion in the BR newsletter and on the BR website. He reviewed one proposal with the Board to cleanup and repair the turf in the area at Four Corners that was damaged by a Beckett owner who ran their car off the road. Since it is too cold to do any planting, the Board tabled the proposal and asked that Brickman just clean up the mess.

Meadows Landscaping Reimbursement - a representative from the Meadows Condominiums' Association answered questions pertaining to their annual landscaping reimbursement request from the Beckett Ridge Association. Since the area in question is not large and is easily accessible to Brickman, the Board voted to assume responsibility for the landscaping maintenance and to discontinue the annual reimbursement to the Meadows. B. Right-of-way Improvements - the Board voted to adopt a policy that anytime improvements are made that involve the right-of-way, that the contractor doing the work will be responsible to file a permit with Butler County so they have a record.

C.  Extension of Boulevard walking path - the Association has been approached by Beckett Station and Pointe at Beckett about working together to extend the walking path along the Boulevard past Eagle Ridge Drive to Lesourdesville-West Chester Road.
