1. Call to Order: The meeting was called to order at 7:20 p.m. at the home of John Melnick, 11483 WV. 2. Approval of Minutes: Minutes of the March 10, 2014 meeting were accepted as distributed and will be posted on the cluster website www.waterviewcluster.org according to protocol. 3. Financial Report: RB reported the financial standing of the Cluster is stable. Due to the unusual winter weather the snow removal line item has come in over budget. 4. Landscape Committee: A list of projects and the necessary materials will be readily available on the morning of workday, as well as residents to get thing started. It was decided that the planning of the work day luncheon should be a responsibility of the Board of Director or a social committee. Volunteers are in place to pull together the luncheon planned for the cluster work day on April 12, 2014. Electronic updates to the landscape page of www.waterview.com will include landscape guidelines currently hidden in the cluster handbook and the addition of the exotic invasive plant list. KN expressed concern that interest in the Landscape Committee is dwindling. A problem solving discussion ensued including ways to increase interest in the planning aspects of the committee. The need for new members will be mentioned at the annual meeting, an educational walk through by a knowledgeable person in order to sensitize residents to our natural environment, adjusting the time of meeting to an evening meeting, having regular meetings, define goals of the committee, and improving communication of the landscape committee activities were among a few suggestions. The Adopt a Spot project is ongoing. There are still spots available! Thrive has aerated and over seeded the grassy area near the marina and at the tot lot. The fragile area will be taped off in order to discourage traffic while it is getting established.
