t r)n <br />MEMO TO: Mounds View City Council <br />FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, DirecLue <br />Parks, Recreation and Forestry <br />DATE: September 18, 1986 <br />RE: Irrigation <br />Staff would like to propose that the City consider installing an <br />underground irrigation system for the front of City Hall. At this <br />time, I have contacted three firms for quotes and we will be <br />receiving them on Friday, September 19, 1986. The irrigation sys— <br />tem can be funded out of the City Forestry account, as we did not <br />employ a forestry assistant this summer due to the fact that we <br />were able to utilize summer J.P.T.A. staff to work in replacement <br />of Odas Newton who underwent knee surgery. <br />Sto f feels that the irrigation system would be a welcome addition <br />to the front of City Hall, as it is the showcase for our City <br />residents who do business at the City and would greatly improve <br />the quality of the turf as well as the trees, and flowers and City <br />sign area. <br />The reason staff is requesting this at such a late date is that we <br />were waiting for budget printouts to determine if there would be <br />enough dollars to do such a project. Due to the impending bad <br />weather, staff would like to have the opportunity to present ver— <br />bal quotes and respond to any of your questions at Monday even— <br />ing's Council meeting so that this project could commence as soon <br />as possible should you feel it's a worthwhile improvement. <br />BKA/sll <br />
