Lawn Sprinkling System Advanced Irrigation will begin installation of MHOOSA’s grounds sprinkling system come spring. Anticipated start is the first part of May. They are presently working with the City of Minneapolis to determine where we can tap into the City water main. Initial work will be to dig down 7’ to the city water main, bring lines up to the surface and install a metal housing for the water meter and system controls. 75% of our homeowners have paid the first of three $200 sprinkling system assessments and some have paid the whole assessment. The first installment is due by the end of February. Evidence of Insurance 95% of our homeowners have provided evidence that they have a current HO-6 policy endorsed for building coverage in an amount adequate to cover the association’s per building deductible and loss assessment coverage adequate to cover a potential assessment levied by the association on all members because of damage from an insured loss. Additional Opportunities to Recycle Eastside Co-op, 2551 Central Avenue NE, accepts plastics #1, 2, 4, 5 and 6—plastics that are not accepted by Minneapolis Recycling. The plastics must be sorted by #, cleaned and rinsed. Hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. Roofing MHOOSA will re-roof five units this year and the Board has awarded the contract to Snedeker Construction. Re-roofing of 226 through 234 8th Street SE will begin the first part of April as weather permits. Grounds Maintenance The Board has selected Andy Gangl, Lakewood Landscaping, to provide spring and fall clean up and summer grounds maintenance. Davey Tree will continue to provide recommended procedures for treating our five Ash trees. Rainbow will provide spraying of our flowering crabs for apple scab prevention, as well as turf enrichment and core aeration. Snow, Ice, and More Snow Thanks to the residents who have been shoveling walks. Sidewalk shoveling is paid by the hour so you are saving the association money as well as improving safety and getting a little exercise.
