Council to accept proposal to restore landscaping at Depot Park and City Hall

Public Works asked the council to accept a proposal from Creative Landscape Group to restore landscaping at Depot Park and to replace sod around the city flagpole at City Hall.

"Public Works would ask for the consideration for approval of the resolution accepting the proposal from Creative Landscape Group to replace landscaping at Depot Park And City Hall," the Public Works representative said, presenting cost estimates of $14,875 for Depot Park restoration and $8,800 to remove and install new sod around the flagpole. Staff said funds exist in the landscaping account to cover the work and recommended approval.

Council member questions focused on the type of grass to be used and whether the change would improve drainage; Public Works said the contractor will remove the existing sod, change the grade so it drains properly, and install a different grass variety to prevent recurring issues. The mayor moved the item to the consent agenda.
