F. Assistant City Manager Kelvin Knauf gave a brief overview of the four point program to improve the beautification and appearance of the City. They were: (1) landscaping in the community, (2) determining the landscaping level for each location, (3) the Tree Sharing Program, and (4) the Beauty Awards Program. Parks & Recreation Director Kevin Conklin gave a slide presentation on the locations selected at major intersections within the City. The staff developed cost estimates for the following street islands: Northwest Highway at Main Street, Park Boulevard at Northwest Highway, Wall Street (west) at Highway 114, and Dove Road at Northwest Highway. He noted the landscape plans will be developed by city staff and Garden Club members, native plants are proposed for the landscaping projects, city employees will install all dirt work and water faucets to provide irrigation, and city employees along with volunteers will plant the materials. Main Street Director Robert Vick gave a presentation concerning the landscaping projects for the Franklin Street parking lot and the Barton Street parking lot. He noted the reasons for Council support of these proposed projects: (1) the Main Street Committee has worked on the projects for one year, (2) the City Council could maximize beautification funds, and (3) the projects fit perfectly with the plans already developed by the City Council f and the Main Street Committee. He noted the Main Street Committee is prepared to raise one-half of the cost of both parking lot projects. The combined cost of the projects is $21,667.00 making the City of Grapevine's share of the projects $10,833.50. The plants could be obtained at wholesale, dirt work r would be done by the Parks & Recreation Department, and labor would be provided by members of the Main Street Committee, the Downtown Grapevine Association Committee, and the Grapevine Garden Club. He noted the projects would be designed to be virtually maintenance free. Questions concerning lights for the two parking lot projects were discussed. During Council discussion of the Tree Sharing Program, City staff was directed E to implement a limitation to the number of 'trees allocated per residence according to the front footage of the lots. y: There was no formal action taken by vote of the City Council, the general consensus of the Council was to go with the low cost estimate for landscaping the islands and matching funds on the Franklin Street parking lot and the Barton Street parking lot. (6) 02/03/87 .RESOLUTION, AUTOMOBILE LEASE, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT The last item of business was for the City Council to consider a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a lease agreement for acquisition of an automobile for the Economic Development Department. Economic Development Director Dave Kreider noted the overall mission of the Economic Development Department to be extensive travel throughout the Dallas/ Fort Worth Metroplex to carry out the duties and obligations of the depart- ment. The current vehicle assigned to the department is unreliable, unduly expensive to maintain and is in constant need of repair. The resolution before the Council would authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement to L lease an automobile for use by the Economic Development Department. Lengthy Council deliberation ensued. Topics of concern included lease/ purchase option, penalty for terminating the lease, miles allowed in the agreement and reasons for not bidding the project. Assistant City Attorney Adrienne Leonard advised due to the fact the lease did not go out for bid, there would need to be a finding by the City Council that that this was an exempted procurement based on the fact that the lease automobile was necessary for the public health and safety of the citizens of the City and was made necessary by unforseen damage to public property, specifically the currently used vehicle. No formal action was taken by vote of the Council. The general concensus favored City Staff further research the purchase/lease of a vehicle for the Economic Development Department.
