Gran Paradiso Property Owners Association, but no well availability fee is being paid by users to Gran Paradiso. Mr. Meisel requested that a public meeting be held to discuss the irrigation system. An informal meeting is being planned and a date will be determined. Once the meeting has occurred, there may be a more formal public workshop planned, if needed.
Mr. Milak noted that there was a fish kill in the Renaissance irrigation lake and asked if there was any water testing being done. Operations' Manager Mike Smith stated that water testing was done as soon as the fish kill was detected. The District contractor, Pond Professionals, came out on the Friday before Memorial Day and again on Memorial Day to clean up the dead fish. There was further discussion regarding this item.
Mr. Roehrig asked for an update on the area along Gran Paradiso's western boundary where foot and golf cart traffic was creating a path from usage.
