Resolution declared adoptede Scalze noted the balance forward in the Park Fund of $91,959.68 is higher than expected due to donations which were received during 1989. Mrs. Scalze introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION N0. 89-12-632 - APPROVING THE CARRY OVER OF ANY PARK AND RECREATION BUDGET BALANCES IN THE 1989 BUDGET TO TAE 1990 PARK AND RECREATION BUDGETS The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Collova. Ayes (5) Scalze, Collova, Fahey, Blesener, LaValle. Nays (0), Resolution declared adopted. LANDSCAPING Scalze reported that as part of the approval process, most cities have a landscape architect review the landscape plans for development proposals, with a follow up after a certain period of time to ensure that landscaping is in place and growing. Scalze also reported that most cities have a landscape ordinance. Scalze stated that she was not aware of whether or not the City is doing such reviews. Scalze reported that Bill Sanders has agreed to do such landscaping reviews for the City at a cost of $25.00 per hour. Scalze felt that additional time required for development submissions would be minimal, and the City would also get follow up reviews. The City Planner replied that submissions that contain landscape plans are reviewed for material content and compliance with the ordinance. Otherwise, the Building Inspector reviews whatever comes in on projects that do not go through the Planner's office or the City Council. Blesener did not feel it fair to expect Sanders to do more work for the City at the reduced rate. Fahey asked if landscape reviews were typically done by city planners. Page 29
