Streetscape offers $1,000 to help city take over downtown hanging-basket maintenance
Summary
At the Oct. 8 budget workshop, Lynn Chapman of Streetscape proposed the City assume maintenance of downtown hanging baskets and trees, offering $1,000 and one year of mentorship while Streetscape would continue paying for the baskets.
Lynn Chapman, representing Streetscape, asked the City to assume maintenance responsibilities for downtown hanging baskets and trees and offered financial and mentoring support to smooth the transition. "Streetscape would be willing to contribute $1,000 towards the City’s expenses and Chapman would be willing to mentor the City for the 1st year," the transcript records.
Superintendent Thompson said his crew could take on the duties and noted the City currently spends about $2,000 annually on helping with maintenance, suggesting the change "really wouldn’t cost the City any additional funds." Mayor Naillon thanked Chapman for her past work and support. Clerk Denney will include the proposal in a forthcoming recommendation document for the Council to consider at the next workshop on Oct. 22, 2024.
