Harriott Jr., emailed the county commissioners on July 3 to tell them sod had not been installed around the back sec- tions of the parking areas. "This will happen next week," he wrote. The contractor felt that undertaking the work before the July Fourth holiday "would make the necessary watering a challenge through the weekend," Harriott added. "Most of the sod is the St. Augustine variety (replacing what was removed) so watering until it is established is necessary." Harriott continued in his email, "I have met with a couple of residents from the area.
