6. FOURTH STREET SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS - PURCHASING OF STREET TREES. RESOLUTION
APPROVING PROPOSAL FROM GEORGE GIRVIN ASSOCIATES/AMERICAN NATIVE PLANTS, INC.
FOR PRE -PURCHASE OF ALL STREET TREES FOR FOURTH STREET SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS
AND AUTHORIZING DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TO EXECUTE AGREEMENT WITH
AMERICAN NATIVE PLANTS, INC. IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $36,000 (PW)
File R-379 x R-140 XVI
Chairman Boro asked if Economic Development Director Ours and Assistant Executive
Director (Public Works) Bernardi could find a way to have the lights on all
of the trees on Fourth Street light at the same time, year-round, from 9:00
PM until approximately 11:30 PM? Mr. Bernardi stated they would be able to
accomplish that. Mr. Bernardi noted part of the issue was that originally
there were not sufficient funds to have separate controllers, and the timing
of the lights had to be tied into the irrigation controllers, which were not
sophisticated enough to allow the lights to be coordinated. However, with
the new micro -processing technology, staff will be able to deal with this issue.
Chairman Boro noted Agency was very proud of our Downtown, and wanted to light
it up.
Member Miller noted that once the trees are planted on Fourth Street, he would like
the Agency to consider taking responsibility for watering the other wonderful
trees located on the side streets.
Member Miller moved and Member Heller seconded, to adopt the Resolution.

PLANTS, INC. FOR PURCHASE OF ALL STREET TREES FOR FOURTH STREET SIDEWALK
