Committee to seek council resolution for Palmetto Expressway beautification; staff cited $38,000 estimate
Summary
The Neighborhood Improvement Committee agreed to add a request to present a beautification proposal for the area under the Palmetto Expressway to council. Committee members noted a rough $38,000 price estimate and said a council resolution would be needed before moving forward.
Committee members discussed a draft to beautify the area under the Palmetto Expressway and agreed to ask the Town Council for a resolution to request maintenance or construction funding.
The group reviewed prior coordination with the district engineer and said the project has been on hold pending adjacent redevelopment and competing priorities. Staff noted a $38,000 price tag associated with the current concept and the committee agreed to present the draft to council and request a resolution directing next steps.
Members emphasized that a council resolution is the next procedural step: "Make sure you vocalize that 1 because that doing right, that you're requesting a resolution," one member said. The committee asked staff to prepare materials and to include the beautification item in the June report to council.
No formal vote on funding was taken at the meeting; the action recorded was direction to prepare a council request and present the concept to the new council for consideration.
