CityCouncil | 2010-11-03 | 4 | Vice Mayor deHaan stated this summer, the trees survived with recycled water; the recycled water is a better quality. In Response to Councilmember Tam's comments regarding the plan helping the School District prioritize, the Interim City Manager stated later on tonight, Council will have an opportunity to discuss approving a Joint Use Agreement [paragraph no. 10-536 including School District property and recreational parks and facilities could be discussed. Councilmember Gilmore stated swimming pools should be part of the Master Plan if the City is going to have responsibility for pools. The Interim City Manager stated the Master Plan could be amended to augment School District facilities. Speaker: Jane Sullwold, Golf Commission. Mayor Johnson inquired whether adding [Golf Course] landscape planning now would be cost effective, to which the Interim City Manager responded in the affirmative. Mayor Johnson stated the City could negotiate reimbursement with Kemper Sports. The Interim City Manager stated [Golf Course] landscape planning has been included because staff would like to expand the tree inventory. Vice Mayor deHaan stated Golf Course trees were assessed; inquired whether the proposed landscape planning would not be folded into the overall tree philosophy. The Interim City Manager responded in the affirmative; stated the project is vital; the Golf Course portion could be taken out in order to not hold up the Plan. Mayor Johnson stated going forward makes sense; reimbursing the City [for $7,800] could be part of the Kemper Sports negotiations. Councilmember Tam stated that she is hearing two conflicting factual statements: 1) Kemper Sports is already providing reports to the Golf Commission and has a landscaping plan, and 2) Kemper Sports is not doing so now and the City would have to negotiate; the City would save some money by taking $7,800 out of the Golf Enterprise Fund to help fund the Plan. The Recreation and Park Director stated Kemper Sports is performing a general review of the trees to see which trees are diseased; there is no comprehensive, concerted effort to develop a tree palate. Vice Mayor deHaan stated that he would prefer to take out the $7,800 and move forward; the landscaping plan could be included as part of Kemper Sports negotiations.
