LIBRARY BOARD
PHIL HALS, STREET/PARK SUP
DATE: AUGUST 31, 1994
SUBJECT: WEST PROPERTY LINE FENCE
IMPROVEMENTS
A recent citizen complaint led to City Council directive that the Street/Park
department replace the broken wood posts that support the chain link fence
on the west property line of the Library. After a close inspection of the area,
my staff would like to propose the following improvements:
Remove the existing fence, bushes and sod on the west side of the
parking lot, leaving the lilacs, however, and then re-installing
landscape edging, new bushes, some type of stone mulch, concrete car
stops and the existing fence fabric with new steel posts and top rail.
The benefits that we hope to accomplish include a more stable fence, a more
pleasing landscape, and less maintenance required for weed trimming.
The costs are estimated to be:
Fence improveuxeut by a fencing contractor
Concrete car stops
Landscape edging
Landscape rock
Landscape plants
Irrigation repairs
$ 900
1,125

All labor to remove the existing fence, sod, and plants, and install edging,
stone mulch, pleat: materials, and irrigation would be supplied by the City
Street/Park department.
Please consider funding options and contact me if you wish to consider such a
project.
