Lear met with Troy Lewis, Heritage Landscape, and walked the property to assess current landscape needs. After discussion, a landscape development plan has been submitted to Lear and will be discussed further during the next Building & Grounds Committee meeting.

Lear had a visit from Library neighbor, Mr. Despain, in regards to the erosion issue created on his property (ravine) from library property run-off water. The erosion problem is on the north/east side of the library property. This has been an ongoing problem that has not been taken care of to date. The committee asked Lear to follow-up with City Engineering staff for guidance. Lear will report back to the Committee at the next meeting.
