Mr. Lehrer reported that Mr. Mooney submitted a request for the funds because the work was completed. The Chair responded that a formal letter stating the work was complete must be submitted. Additionally, the Chair would like for Mr. Rowley to conduct an inspection. Mr. Balzarini referenced the map, confirming that he had visited the site and had not seen that the trees had been replaced. It was Mr. Lehrer's opinion that the performance being held was for work to be completed for the original landscaping plan for the Phase III Windchime project. Mr. Rowley stated that initially a simplified plan was offered, replaced by a more intricate plan, as a response to the removal of the tall pines. Mr. Rowley agreed with Mr. Lehrer, and inquired about what the Board would want to review to identify what work remained. The Chair inquired about minutes from previous site visits, which Mr. Lehrer indicated had been provided in member packets, but Mr. Balzarini pointed out that the plan represented the trees removed just a few years ago. Mr. Cummings stated that there was a 2005 issue and then the more recent matter. The Chair stated that there were additional minutes for a site visit she attended, but Mr. Lehrer stated that the performance guarantee was not relevant to that project. The Chair stated that there had been walk-throughs where Windchime promised to complete the work, which she would like reviewed. There was further discussion regarding the initial landscaping not completed according to the approved plan. Mr. Rowley recommended that Windchime submit a letter confirming that the work was completed, in compliance with the original landscape plan, listing what was complete,which could then be inspected to confirm completion. If the landscaping was not complete, the funds could then be utilized to complete the work, according to the plan. The Chair was in agreement and requested that the additional, more recent landscaping site visit notes be located for further review. Mr. Lehrer will look into the matter further. The Chair suggested inviting Windchime to attend a future meeting and asked Mr. Rowley to visit the site. Mr. Rowley recommended that Windchime first submit their letter of completion.
