REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE do CALL FOR BIDS FOR THE LANDSCAPING OF THE HIGHWAY 111 MEDIANS, DEEP CANYON ROAD TO PORTOLA AVENUE AND SAN PABLO AVENUE TO MONTEREY AVENUE. MR. SANDY BAUM, 45-800 Deep Canyon Road, requested that this contract not be sent out for bids if the plans for the landscaping were the same as is already installed on the medians between San Pablo Avenue and Portola Avenue. He did not feel that this type of landscaping is the best for Palm Desert and asked if something similar to what is in front of the Palm Desert Town Center could be used instead. Mr. McClellan stated that the plans call for landscaping identical to what is between San Pablo and Portola, and this is what the Beautification Committee had wanted. Member Jackson stated that she felt the landscaping in front of the Palm Desert Town Center was much more attractive and asked when the last meeting of the Beautification Committee had been as she never received a notice of such a meeting. Mr. McClellan responded that the last meeting had been approximately a year ago when the landscaping had been first approved. Member Kelly suggested that Member Jackson look into this matter for the Agency. He also stated that he had never heard anyone say anything nice about the median landscaping and felt that the Agency Board should take the time to see if something more pleasing to the eye could be installed. Mr. McClellan stated that there had been positive feedback and many calls complimenting the landscaping on the medians. Chairman Snyder concurred with Member Kelly's suggestion and felt the Agency Board should ask Member Jackson to meet with Mr. McClellan and the landscape architect to see if there were changes that could be made to make it look nicer. Upon motion by Snyder, second by Jackson, and unanimous vote of the Agency members present, this matter was continued to the meeting of August 23, 1984, with Member Jackson to meet with Mr. McClellan and the landscape architect to consider improvements to the landscaping of the medians on Highway 111.
