Moore; Director of Operations & MaintenancL <br /> <br />City Hall Update- Landscape Options <br /> <br />l~ <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Backl!:round <br /> <br />Staff has received many negative comments from residents and City Council members about the <br />condition of the landscape at City Hall. The vast majority of these comments center on the <br />existing tree line parallel to Highway 96 and the poor condition of the turf in front by the flag <br />pole and the area behind the main lobby. For the most part, people seem to have a "wait and see" <br />attitude in regards to the prairie grass area. Listed below are possible corrections/improvements <br />to the landscape at City Hall. For the purpose of this discussion, the landscape at City Hall has <br />been divided into three components: trees, turf and prairie grass. Staffwill provide three options <br />and their associated costs related to each option. Currently there are no funds allocated in the <br />2004 Budget for these improvements. <br /> <br />I. TREES (row of pine trees on the south side of City Hall, parallel to Highway 96) <br /> <br />1. Extend the row of trees to the TCAAP fencing. This would require three sets of <br />four trees or a total of 12 trees. The existing trees are in groupings of four. <br /> <br />COST: $7,200 for the 12 trees. $600 per 8 ft tree installed with a one year <br />warranty. <br /> <br />2. Extend the row of trees by one set of four trees per year. This would require three <br />years to complete. <br /> <br />COST: $2,400 per year. $600 per 8 ft tree installed with a one year warranty. <br /> <br />3. No new plantings of trees. <br /> <br />COST: None <br />
