Mr. Sells noted the HydroPoint system is performing well at a fraction of the cost of the original Motorola irrigation system. F. MSTU Boundaries Mr. Sells distributed a map defining the boundaries of the Radio Road Beautification M.S.T.U. to the Committee noting improvements within the MSTU's geographical boundaries can be made by the Beautification Advisory Committee. Projects Mr. Sells suggested new projects be considered and introduced the concept of creating a linear park on the Rich King Memorial Greenway. During Committee discussion the following was noted: • Would the MSTU be responsible for park maintenance "in perpetuity?" The MSTU would be obligated as the current Board of Commissioners policy is to maintain medians on arterial roadways only, not the edges of the road ways. • An agreement might be negotiated between the MSTU and the Road and Bridge Division wherein the Road and Bridge Maintenance Department will maintain the landscaping and irrigation system and invoice the MSTU for reimbursement. This concept is similar to an agreement Golden Gate MSTU made. • FPL has easements for truck access to maintain the high power lines. • FPL north could also be considered for improvement. • Mr. Windham previously designed plans for the entrance to this area. • The following steps would be necessary to implement the project: A) Create a design B) Determine a course of action and C) Gather the support of the community.
