Old Business:
Entrance and Landscaping: The contractor for the landscape currently retained is Greenscapes. They gave acceptable quotes for the majority of the work needed at the entrance, but some money was saved by Board Members purchasing and planting optional selections. Maintenance is becoming necessary for the back of the berm at the entrance. Mr. Wright is going to follow up with a couple of companies to determine what trees can be saved and which need to be removed.
Street lights working status: Henry Ford, Jr. is our contact for reporting malfunctions, but anyone can report an outage by calling 502-589-1444 and follow the prompts. At this time, all street lights are in working order.
Speed Humps: Mike Ratchford resubmitted the forms necessary for acceptance for installing speed humps on Sewell Rd and Old Toll Rd. At this time there is no response. He has also requested a traffic study for a 24-hour period, the last study did not catch the hours of our heaviest traffic through the neighborhood.

Metro Representative Ms. Monica Hodge was gracious enough to fill in for Mr. Robin Engel, who was not available due to prescheduled meetings. Questions were presented to Ms. Hodge regarding speed hump and costs and rules. She shared information that speed humps usually go in by pairs, two per problem area at a cost to be shared by any funds the community would be granted and the community itself. Information to obtain LMPD Smart Machine which shows the speed limit and the rate of speed the passing vehicle was discussed. Ms. Hodges’ explained that each machine costs $5000.00. Neighbors expressed their concerns of the high rate of speed that the cut through traffic is traveling on our streets. Monica Hodge stated that Mr. Engel is 1 of only 3 Council members who even support Speed Humps and that the county does not like them due to the inconvenience they cause emergency vehicles.
