EIGHTEENTH ORDER OF BUSINESS Other Business Mr. Scheerer: I spoke to Chuck previously about the irrigation tie in that the school was supposed to complete for the median on Founders that runs north and south by the school as well as the area between the sidewalk and the curb in front of the school. That has still not been completed. There was a meter that was supposed to go in there. Right now the tie in they did have has been locked off by Orange County Utilities so there is no water going there and we need to work on getting that corrected. We are also going to look with our landscape provider to see if there is another area we can tie into the existing irrigation system opposed to the 2" connection that has been locked off by the county. Mr. Bell: We have been working with Orange County Public Schools since August oflast year and all the irrigation we are talking about and the new planting material was the obligation of Orange County Public Schools.
