CONSIDERATIONS:
1)
There are (5) oak trees at City Hall causing damage to the roof,
drainage systems, and sidewalks. All trees are in close proximity to the
building and as a result, leaves are collecting on the roof in key locations
which have caused numerous repairs and leaks at City Hall.
Additionally, root systems are restricting drainage piping which is vital
in evacuation of water from the rooftop. Finally, sidewalks are being
raised and has resulted in cracking. At least (2) trees are infected with
mistletoe (a parasite) to the point to where the trees are in serious
decline.
The B.O.W.S. Board and Urban Beautification Coordinator have
developed a plan for new landscaping. The plan consists of (2) Phases:
Phase 1 involves the removal of(5) Oak trees and installation of the
following: (7) Queen Palm, (3) Ligustrum trees, (5) Dahoon Holly, (2)
Magnolia tree, (13) Nellie Stevens HoUy tree, and (1) Red oak tree.
The total tree removal is (5) trees and total replacement planting is (31)
trees. Phase 2 (March 2004) will remove dated shrubbery and install
updated landscaping according to the approved B.O.W.S. board plan.
2)
FUNDING:
The cost of Phase 1 removal and replacement is a total of$9,700.00 and shall come
from the City Arbor Fund. Work is to be performed under the direct supervision of Mike
Mingea, City Forester and Steven Richart, Urban Beautification Coordinator. The cost of
