e e .... --.... ..........- CITY OF LA PORTE INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM JULY 31, 1984 TO: Jack Owen, City Manager FROM: Stan Sherwood, Director Parks & Recreation SUBJECT: Revenue Sharing Beautification Plan The amount of $25,000.00 was approved for the Beautification Plan. Of this amount, $6,599.20 has been spent leaving a balance of $18,400.80. The $6f599.20 has been spent on the architectural firm, Fred Buxton and Associates, for the Beautification Plan with a total cost of $8,789.20 to be spent on completion of the study. This will leave us with a new balance of $16,210.80. On May 28, 1984, several members of the Chamber of Commerce requested a meeting with the landscape architect to review the plans. A meeting was set for June 4. In attendance were John P. Zemanek, Char Icy Wheeler, Richard Wiebe and myself. At this meeting the Chamber members recommended that we start at 146 and Main Street spending the remaining amount of funds. Mr. Wiebe sent a copy of an addendum to me on June 6, and I presented it to you. You suggested that we not take this to council until we have the completed Beautification Plan. I contacted Mr. Wiebe asking for a completion date of the plan. He stated July 15, but because of illness the plan was not delivered until July 31 at 3:00 p.m. After you look over the plan, I recommend that this item be placed on workshop for council to give authorization to go out for bid on the first phase of this project. If this could be presented to council on August 8 for authorization to bid, we could have bids awarded by the last of August. If any further information is needed, please advise. SS/ms FI
