• Agenda item for discussion/approval: Property Maintenance Ordinance No. 2024-XX Trustee Constant stated that he would like to see language added to include the disposition of garbage cans. There was a discussion regarding how early residents should be allowed to put their cans at the curb for pick up and how long they should be allowed to stay at the end of the driveway after pick up. There was also discussion regarding where on the property the cans can be stored. Most agreed that cans should not go out prior to three pm the day before pick-up and should be removed by 7 pm after pick-up. Also, the cans should be stored behind the forward most facing point of the structure. The attorneys will work on an ordinance for the next meeting.
• Agenda item for discussion/approval: Landscape Ordinance No. 2024-XX

• Agenda item for discussion/approval: Park Board/Tree Board Ordinance No. 2024-XX Quirk stated that the ordinance presented does not include the language that adds the tree board responsibilities and asked if the Trustees want it included.
