1. Q~ Page 2 Council Minutes March 23, 1994 Baldwin also will confirm the date with him and noted council's approval to use the city sign to advertise the event. REQUEST TO APPROVE THE CLEVELAND MEDIAN LANDSCAPING PLAN AND AGREEMENT WITH RAMSEY COUNTY REGARDING TAKEOVER OF THE MEDIAN BY THE CITY Linda Treeful, the city forester, presented the proposed landscaping project for the Cleveland Avenue median to be undertaken by the Ramsey County public works department. City staff worked with county staff and a MnDOT representative to develop a planting and maintenance plan for the median. Treeful indicated the county will not be able to obtain the trees and bushes desired in time for spring planting in 1994 so the project will be delayed until May, 1995. The plan is to plant 45 Japanese lilac trees down the median center flanked on either side by a row of 429 dwarf bush honeysuckle. The city will take over the care of the median two years from the established maintenance date which date is to be agreed upon by co-inspection by county staff and city forester. Hustad moved to approve the plan and agreement to take over the maintenance of the median after the two year post-planting maintenance period is met and if all city conditions are met. Motion carried unanimously.
