Contract Approval for Landscape Maintenance with Exclusive Landscaping

Mr. Wright noted that he contacted the vendor to get them rewired. He said the winter annuals had been installed. Because of wind spray taking the chlorine into the beds around the fountains, none of the plants would probably survive. They are looking for a change-out. Maybe river rock, or artificial plants.
