MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MARCH 27, 1996 <br />Morelan asked how many planters the Community Pride <br />Committee would like to purchase. <br />The Administrator replied that they would like to <br />purchase between six and nine. However, at the price <br />quoted, there is money in the budget for four. <br />Morelan suggested that the budget could be increased. <br />Morelan also felt that the Planner's suggestion of <br />waiting to coordinate planters with those in the <br />streetscape project was a good one. <br />Fahey suggested installation of planters in the Rice <br />Street/Little Canada Road area may not occur until <br />redevelopment begins. Fahey stated that he would like <br />to see the planter project up and running. <br />The Administrator pointed out that planters could be <br />purchased and placed in areas outside the redevelopment <br />area. The Administrator pointed out that the <br />streetscape work would likely not begin for at least a <br />year. <br />Morelan stated that continuity was one issue. Another <br />is the advantage of having the 10% Committee rank the <br />project in accordance with the City's policy. Morelan <br />stated that he saw no reason to deviate from the <br />policy, pointing out that the Committee is scheduled to <br />meet on April 15th. <br />Fahey stated that he saw no benefit to waiting, <br />pointing out the work that the 10% Committee put into <br />the project. <br />Again, Morelan pointed out that the project may only be <br />delayed by one month since the 10% Committee will meet <br />on April 15th. Morelan stated that before the Council <br />acts on the planter project, he would like to know what <br />other projects are on the 10% funding list. <br />Pedersen agreed, pointing out that there may be other <br />projects which are more important. <br />Fahey suggested that rather than having the project <br />tied to the original budget amount, if the Community <br />Pride Committee feels six planters are needed, that <br />amount of funding should be requested and prioritized <br />with other 10% funding requests. <br />Morelan suggested that staff determine how many <br />designated planter locations there are outside the Rice <br />15 <br />
