1.     Announcements

• Next scheduled monitoring date is Saturday 7 Aug.

2.     Discussion

• The city has been notified and will add more bait stations to our garden. The city specifically asked us not to move the bait stations once they are placed. They have a method for the placements.
• Need a volunteer to organize a community day to get ahead of the weeds in the common areas. Looking at possibly setting up a community day on 17 July.
  • Pull or weed eat grass coming up near kiosk, pull or weed eat all vegetation in the community plot.

• Every plot owner is responsible for weeding the four sides of their plot. Even if you have opted out of volunteer hours, it is still required that you weed your plot boundaries.
• Do NOT allow standing water in your plot. This is a big issue, please store containers upside to avoid standing water. The mosquitoes are among us. 
• Garden monitoring isn’t something that can be done alone to get credit for volunteer hours. Garden monitoring is a group activity and occurs every 2 months on a set schedule.
