Tank Painting. The water tank at the City's water plant on 11~' Street has now been
painted. Included in for the first time is an American flag painted on the eastern side
(facing 11`s Street).
Tree Ptantina; Seminole Road. City Staff is negotiating with the developer of several
condominiums located on Seminole Road close to the Atlantic Boulevard intersection for.
grass and landscaping to offset the damages done to the City right-of--way during the
construction projects. The portion of Seminole Road between City Hall and Atlantic
Boulevazd has long been discussed for beautification, particulazly the planting of several
trees. If trees were to be added in the azea, it would be better to have them installed prior
to the developer putting in sod, irrigation and possibly other landscaping. Consequently,
staff is planning on purchasing several oak trees for this azea. The total City investment
is estimated to be under $5,000 and will be paid from the Tree Fund.
Request for City to Place Sian at Fletcher Hiah Ball field. The City has received a
request to place a sign on the outfield fence of the Fletcher High School baseball field.
The cost of the sign would be $300 for the first year with renewal fees of $100 per yeaz
thereafter. Unless the Commission directs otherwise, I will advise the Booster Club that
we do not have any funds budgeted for this type of advertising.
Hazardous Waste Day. The City of Jacksonville conducted a Solid Waste "Amnesty"
Collection Day on Saturday, Mazch 16a' in the City's Police Station pazking lot on
Seminole Road. Traffic was much heavier than anticipated. Jacksonville officials
estimated usage ranging from 300 to 500 vehicles for the day. The final tally was 589
vehicles. Citizens seemed to appreciate the opportunity for disposal of hazardous items.
The only problem encountered was in having more hazardous materials to cart off than
Jacksonville had estimated.
