Board directs contractor to replace dead trees on Santa Rosa; members vote on crepe myrtle color
Summary
Board discussed warranty repairs on Santa Rosa Street after dead magnolias and a broken tree grate were reported. The project remains under warranty; the board voted to give the contractor three crepe myrtle color options (motion for pink carried) and said expenditures would return for approval if required.
Board members raised warranty and maintenance concerns for recent landscaping and hardscape work on Santa Rosa Street after members observed dead trees and a damaged tree grate.
Staff and the contractor confirmed the project remains under warranty and that a contractor walk-through will identify warranty items. Board members said the dead trees — described in discussion as three magnolias plus an additional cluster — should be replaced under warranty rather than billed as a new expenditure.
The board moved to provide three crepe myrtle color options to the contractor to use as replacements and asked the contractor to pursue warranty replacement. One board member moved specifically for pink; that motion was seconded and the board voted in favor.
No expenditure was approved at the meeting; the board directed staff to pursue warranty replacement with the contractor and to return any item that would require city spending for formal action.
Next steps: staff will arrange a warranty walk-through with the contractor, ask the contractor to replace dead trees within warranty where applicable, and return to the board if an expenditure is required.
