Three Greenbelt trees were positively identified with Dutch Elm disease and have been removed, according to Matt Berres, manager of maintenance operations for Greenbelt Homes Inc. (GHI). Although removed, Berres said he could not guarantee that Greenbelt has seen the last of the disease that has downed millions of American elm trees. "You cannot ever assure 100 percent containment," said Berres. "What you're looking for is to minimize the risk." In early August, Berres said he and a GHI staff person noticed a problem with an elm tree on 25 Ridge Rd. that was on city property.

GHI housing co-op members give their board the nod to come up with a proposal that would allow them to decide row by row to deny smoking.
Greenbelt Homes Inc. (GHI) members voted in favor of paving the way for the creation of non-smoking rows in their housing cooperative. At GHI’s recent annual membership meeting, voters authorized their board of directors to develop such a proposal. After debate and amendment, members voted that they would have the last word on whatever proposal the board developed and that a row’s non-smoking designation could only come about through the unanimous agreement of members on that row. The ball is now in the board’s court. “I’m sure that they will take it up shortly, “ GHI General Manager Eldon Ralph said in an interview on Monday.

The worst of all the bylaws, when it comes to coherency, is up for a vote tonight, says GHI Treasurer.
Two bylaws issues are up for a vote at the Greenbelt Homes, Inc. (GHI) annual membership meeting Thursday, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the Greenbelt Community Center. One of the suggested bylaws changes addresses contracts, the other—living trusts. When discussing the contract portion of the bylaws, GHI Treasurer Chuck Hess used the phrase "I think" liberally. Which gets directly to the point of why it is coming before the membership for a vote. It confuses people, Hess said, explaining that there has been much debate over what it means. "I know of nobody who thinks this is an easy to understand provision,” Hess said. Under the current bylaws (see below), if a contract with an outside vendor costs more than $20,000 in one year and its total …
