• <br /> to e <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor & City Council Members <br /> FROM: Kim Stephan <br /> DATE: September 8, 2011 <br /> SUBJECT: Landscaping of Fountain Area in Cornerstone Park <br /> There is an area of Cornerstone Park which was originally planned for a fountain, but was removed from <br /> the bid process due to cost. Mr. Mark Statz, City Engineer had told the Parks & Recreation Committee <br /> that this area would however, be `fountain ready' for a future installation. It is not, there is no electricity <br /> or plumbing to the area, it is simply a round area approximately 12' in diameter. Mr. Greg Burmeister, <br /> Project Manager, had the contractor fill it with black dirt. The options for this area are sod, paver stones <br /> or landscaping with shrubbery or perennials. The committee opted for the option that would not cost any <br /> additional money by requesting the landscaping materials that are to be planted in the other three areas of <br /> the park be thinned to use some of the product in the fountain area. Mr. Burmeister will discuss this <br /> option with the landscape contractor to make sure it is possible to reallocate some plants. The committee <br /> would like the plantings to be something that would still be seen in winter, such as shrubbery, but will <br /> leave the selection up to Mr. Burmeister and the contractor. <br /> • Motion was made by Chairperson Branch, seconded by Committee Member P <br /> Y p � y ber eterson to <br /> recommend to City Council reallocating some of the plant materials in Cornerstone Park to plant <br /> the fountain area leaving the selection of material to Mr. Burmeister and the contractor. All in <br /> favor. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> • <br /> 13 <br />
