STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: Request for Discussion Regarding Landscape Renovation of
the Council Chamber Entry Area
SUBMITTED BY: H. Spencer Knight, Landscape Manager
DATE: December 9, 2004
CONTENTS: Vicinity Map
Recommendation:
By Minute Motion: Provide direction to staff for the landscape
renovation of the landscaped area between the Council Chamber
main entry and the covered walk area adjacent to the parking lot.
Discussion:
The City's Safety Committee has identified a potential safety issue caused by
run-off from turf irrigation water from the Council Chambers landscape that
collects on various areas of the adjacent walkway. Landscape Services staff has
addressed this issue on several occasions and has decreased the amount of run-
off. However, during the summer season and the over seeding process the
problem still occurs due to the slope of the area and the adjacency of the turf to
the walk area.
This landscape area has been in need of renovation for several years. The
renovation was to be included in the proposed and subsequently tabled Atrium
project.
This issue was referred to and discussed by the Landscape Beautification
Committee. The ensuing discussion established that the best, long-term solution
to this potential safety issue was the renovation of the landscape area and the
subsequent redesign of the turf area and it's irrigation system.
At the request of the Landscape Beautification Committee, staff is requesting the
City Council's direction as how to proceed with this project.
