q~eve18nd street Planter Proaram
Peter Gozza reviewed the proposed Cleveland Street Planter Program. In
,. .' keeping with the downtown beautification theme, the CRA is proposing to plant and
maintain fl()wers in the planters along Cleveland street. The City df Clearwater
will assume the responsibility and cost for the plants and planting.
, Due to the high maintenance cost of this project, Mr. Gozza proposed that
, the CRA authorize funding as' followsz $2,000 annually from the CRA; the CRA
. request $2,000 annually from the Downtown Development Board as their contribution
to this project; and to authorize the "adopt-a-planter" program so 1/3 of the
annual maintenance costs are assumed by those downtown merchants interested in
participating. There are 34' planters - each planter would cost a downtown
,'merchant $60.00 per year. A plaque with the company name/logo will be installed
,. on the' adopted planter.
" ,.The CRA will sign and assume responsibility for the maintenance contract.
The Nursery Division, Parks & Recreation Department of the City of Clearwater,
will monitor, the performance of the company awarded the planter maintenance
. contract. '
Trustee Thomas moved that the eRA approve the adopt-a-plantor program with
the CRA contributing $2000 to the program; to sign a maintenance contract subject
to the DOB and the individual downtown merchants contributing equal amounts to
the CRA for annual maintenance of the planters. The motion was seconded and
carried unanimously.
