MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor
and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jim Hanso
.~M .
SUBJECT: Follow-up eport•
Ci Lo o; At the last commission meeting, the staff was requested to make changes to the
lettering on the city logo so that the "City of Atlantic Beach" name would be more visible. A
representative from a printing company that the city has used has been asked to prepaze some
options for consideration. When ready, the revised city logo with highlighted lettering will be
presented to the City Commission.
Palm Trees for Dudley St; A request was made at the last meeting for staffto look into the
possible planting of rows of palm trees along both sides of Dudley St. from Mayport Rd. to the
Donner Community Center. There aze several obstacles to overcome along Dudley St. before this
could be done. These include several mature hardwood trees that have grown along the ROW
that would have to be removed to make room to plant and see the palms. Much of the remaining
ROW is currently being used for parking, and there are utilities along both sides ofthe street . If
additional tree cover is needed along Dudley St., the best option would be to fill-in with
hardwoods under the Adopt-A-Tree program.
Diseased Palm Tree; A complai,it was received at the last meeting about a palm tree on $each
Avenue that possibly had the same disease as one of the medjool palms in Town Center. City
staff have inspected the tree since .that meeting. While the tree is dead or quickly dying, we do
not believe that it is caused by the same disease that has infected the tree in Town Center. The
owner has been notified of the city's findings.
