WS — Item 2 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item 2 <br />Date: October 3, 2011 <br />To: City Council <br />From: Jeff Karlson, City Administrator <br />Re: Maintenance of Island at Civic Complex <br />Background <br />A couple of weeks ago Councilmember Rafferty expressed concerns about the outside <br />appearance of the Civic Complex. Staff agrees that the landscaping at city hall needs <br />improvement. Maintenance staff recently irrigated, planted, and mulched the landscaped <br />areas near the police department and ECFE. They were hoping to re- landscape the area <br />outside the council chambers this summer. However, the re- landscaping project was <br />postponed until the auxiliary sidewalk (north of the main entrance) is replaced. <br />Other residents have complained about the appearance in front of city hall. One thing <br />that was considered in the past is to re- landscape the island in front of city hall with new <br />trees, flowers, and shrubs. Staff thought this would be a good time to revisit this issue. <br />
