Note to the Public: The Council adjourned off camera after the May 14, 2001 Closed Session. B. Pinewood Elementary Follow-Up Discussion. Chief Clark presented to Council copies of the officers' worksheets concerning the traffic enforcement in the area of Pinewood Elementary. He noted his officers have hit the area hard and he has received positive feedback from area residents. Chief Clark noted there were very few speed violations but stated there were parking violations that were handled. He then noted that his officers would continue the extra patrol for a few more weeks. • Council Member Quick asked what streets are receiving the extra patrol. Chief Clark indicated that County Road I and Quincy Street were the two that were being patrolled and noted that, at a residents request, Adams had recently been added. Community Development Director Ericson explained that, at the last meeting, there was significant discussion concerning the trees that were cut down at the Pinewood Elementary site. He noted that Council had asked Staff to work with Pinewood representatives on a landscape plan that would be acceptable to Council and the City Forester. He then noted that, since the last meeting, there have been numerous discussions and stated the final revised landscaping plan was provided to Council. Director Ericson noted that the landscaping plan shows the trees that were removed and the trees that will be transplanted. He noted that after a meeting with the Safety Committee it was recommended that a couple more trees on the south side of the parking lot be relocated to allow for snow storage. He then asked the representatives from Perkins & Will to address Council concerning the landscape plan. Sandie Gay of Perkins & Will apologized to Council for any statements she made that were confusing to Council. She noted she had learned through Director Ericson that there was a misunderstanding about what she had said and indicated that she could answer the questions of Council at this meeting. She then noted that she would like to present the landscaping plan to Council.
