Dannheisser <br />City Attorney <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />It is recommended that the City Commission adopt, by motion, the attached resolution <br />authorizing a grant application of $85,000 for landscaping improvements to AlA. <br />REASONS <br />Each year the State Department of Transportation makes available funds for land <br />improvements to State roads. The scope of the project includes the median and west <br />side of Collins Avenue, from south of the William Lehman Causeway to 183rd Street. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br />The City's landscaping architect has estimated (on the high side) the total project to <br />cost some $311,000. With or without the grant monies we anticipate completing the <br />landscaping area improvements in October 1999 (with the commencement of the new <br />fiscal year). <br />In 1998, we were awarded a $60,000 State grant to fund a portion of the $350,000 cost <br />for beautification of the northern most areas of the City. The "northern" project will <br />be completed in May 1999. <br />Respectful ubmitt , <br />James DiPietro, <br />City Manager <br />JD:pw <br />
