beds and less strain on trees.

resulted in the loss of 249,000 gallons of water within a one month
period.
Mike McGee recommended a new procedure be implemented by the
Maintenance Contractor. The Contractor shall with each irrigation check; take
down the pump station flow meter reading and forward to McGee & Associates
to enable them to monitor weekly water use by comparing it with the projected
weekly water use based upon the operating schedule.

pending.

schedule. Staff will research details.

He reported Hannula will provide McGee & Associates pictures of oak trees
and tabebuia replacements for review. The search for oak trees will continue.

Mike McGee reported an automobile accident at median #10 with damage to
the light pole and where multiple society garlic plans had been run over and

V. Transportation Operations Report
Darryl Richard reported Fund 111 does not have the funds to landscape the
Parkway Entrance. He noted the GG MSTU has adequate funds available if they
would like to proceed with the project. (See attached)
Mike McGee stated the industry prices have not had changed since they submitted
the proposal. A proposal was provided for areas around the sign, in front and the
next median. The trees on the south side have been broken down and are shown as
alternates.
Richard Sims stated he was against adding trees on the side and against turf. He
suggested drought tolerant plants be installed in the next median.
Some concerns expressed were the canopy trees as shown on the proposed plan
would hinder visibility of the sign.
Staff suggested plans be presented to the Advisory Committee without sod and with
something other than trees not to hinder the visibility of the entrance sign.
Discussion was made not to use turf and not to use canopy trees in front of sign.
The Advisory Committee requested Staff consider the installation of a flag pole
surrounded by a flower bed and pavers in front of the entrance sign.
