,-(./ A( <br /> ftity of MEMORANDUM <br /> iikRiver TO: Park and Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Phil Hals, Street/Park Superintendent <br /> DATE: May 8, 1996 <br /> SUBJECT: Agenda Memo <br /> 9. Discussion on Flower Plantings <br /> Jane Patten and Mary Thompson have approached me with plans and <br /> recommendations to plant some perennials and annual flowers in four <br /> different areas. The prices quoted include the plant materials and <br /> labor for planting and maintenance. The street/park department staff <br /> would supply topsoil and preparation work. <br /> a. Chamber Site - The proposed planting bed would be in the mid <br /> level of the retaining wall on the east end of the Chamber <br /> • parking lot, 265 square feet with about 100 perennial plants and <br /> 50 annuals for a cost of$1,190. <br /> b. Jackson Square - The proposed planting bed would be in the sod <br /> area between the Highway 10 sidewalk and the north parking <br /> stalls; 160 square feet with 50 perennial plants and 50 annuals <br /> for a cost of$890. <br /> c. EDA Site - Planting would be done in three wooden barrels (cut <br /> in half) with annual plants for a cost of$175. <br /> d. City Hall - Planting would be done is a 4 foot radius around the <br /> flag pole in the front court yard area with about 25 perennials <br /> and 10 annuals for a cost of$365. <br /> I would recommend that the Park and Recreation Commission consider <br /> doing all of these sites as a step toward city beautification. Once some <br /> flower beds are established, volunteers may come forward to maintain <br /> them in future years. <br /> Ill <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
