He stated that it is not the responsibility of the City at this point adding that if they do not fertilize 7 area that the grass would get worse. He clarified that he heard, earlier in the meeting, that Mr. 8 Koechlien believes they should place more see and that Premier does not want to do it. He stated that at 9 some point they should just say it has to be done. Mr. Koechlien clarified that if the grass begins to 10 grow, as expected, that Premier should not have to reseed. He stated that if, upon inspection of the 11 growth, the grass is found not be growing and has bare spots, that Premier should come back and reseed 12 the area. He stated that concerns expressed by the Commission at the last meeting addressed issues that 13 some areas were eroding and the Commission did not want to continue reseeding until the erosion issue 14 had been resolved. He stated that they now have the erosion control in place and agreed that they should 15 get back in to reseed some of the affected areas.
