Russo, City Manager <br /> FROM: Susan Simpson, Cultural and Community Services Director <br /> DATE: 6/20/2013 <br /> RE: Acceptance of Tree Donation from Doubletree by Hilton <br /> Ocean Point Resort & Spa <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached resolution to <br /> accept the donation of two trees from Doubletree by Hilton Ocean Point Resort <br /> and Spa. <br /> REASONS: <br /> Doubletree by Hilton Ocean Point Resort & Spa is proud of the progress the City <br /> has made and appreciates the high quality of life it provides to both residents and <br /> visitors and wished to give back to the community that creates enjoyable <br /> experiences for their guests. Management suggested to donate two trees to the <br /> City to be planted at Town Center Park. These two trees will replace two trees <br /> that did not survive the transplant from Samson Oceanfront Park. <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> Two Coccoloba Diversifolia, also known as Pigeon Plum trees, were selected to <br /> plant along the north side of the park to enhance the landscape buffer between <br /> the park and the adjacent condominium. The two trees are valued at $300 total <br /> including installation. The continued maintenance of these trees will be the <br /> responsibility of the City. This ongoing maintenance expense was already <br /> budgeted for as these trees are replacement of trees already in the City's <br /> inventory. <br /> Agenda Item No.IOC <br /> Date 6/20/2013 <br /> 91 <br />
