Review Price Quotes for Landscane Deshmer
Denny provided Jacobs with a written quote of $500 from Designs International, Smyrna
Mauras, for the 2 block section design with type of plants to be used and quantities.
Jacobs read Ms. Mauras' background and achievements.
Adams said she spoke with Hacienda Village and the landscaping at their entrance way
was done by a worker, not a landscape designer.

Zahand said she spoke with Mike Martin of the Forestry Division and he did not have any
names to provide to her for landscape designers. Zahand said that Susie Coffman at the
Senior Center may be able to assist us with the names of landscape designers.
Jacobs said she spoke with Glatting, Lopez, Kercher, & Anglin and they said such a design
would be very costly for the City and suggested trees instead of shrubs and plants due to
the issue of irrigation and maintenance. Jacobs said they suggested using a crepe myrtle in
the wider areas along SR 434 at intervals to create a catty-corner effect instead oflining
SR 434 on both sides, and later there will be the availability to add on and expand.
Adams suggested abandoning the medians along State Road 434 for the time and redirect
their efforts to the four islands that can be seen from State Road 434, like Moss Road,
Charles Street, Oak Forest entrance way, and a Tuscawilla entrance way. The Board
discussed the irrigation issued. Adams added that most of the neighborhood parks are in
bad shape and could use some sprucing up, like benches and trees. Discussion ensued
regarding this change in direction. In conclusion, Jacobs made a motion to redirect their
efforts to design the Moss Road median. All members voted aye.
-
Recording Secretary suggested that the members should talk to their Commissioner to ask
for their guidance with this project, if they should present a conceptual plan to the
Commission before expending any City funds for a landscape designer, or expend City
funds for a landscape designer and then bring the plan to the Commission. The Board
agreed and Jacobs asked each member to contact their Commissioner or the Mayor to get
a feel for their opinions.

Discussion of Ordinance 551-To Establish Fee to be Paid to City Board Members
Denny brought up the Commissions request to have the City Board members polled
regarding this Ordinance and a response from each Board's Chairman to the City Manager.
Discussion ensued among the members and the Chairman wrote down their comments. In
conclusion, the Board felt that the payment amount should remain the same as it is, $50 a
month, due to the amount oftime that each member puts forward on various projects; and
that if a meeting is missed by a member that the Chairman should decide if the payment
should be withheld.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 P.M.
