Item 2.2 Request for funding for Median Landscaping and Beautification Master Plan. - Lanny Lambert
came before the board to ask for funding for the creation of a Master Plan for the long-term development of the
medians. Currently developers are required to pay for the medians as new subdivisions are built. He thinks we
could do 2-3 blocks a year maximum and if we do it over a long period of time, we are going to need a Master
Plan to follow. We have gone out for RFP's for professional services and 4 Architectural Landscape Firms
responded. A committee has reviewed them and rated them and we recommend Carter & Burgess. We have not
yet negotiated a contract. He does not know what the cost of the Master Plan will be, therefore he told the board
they could give him an amount to present to the firm that is selected and work from that. He said we will have to
follow the budget process and also take it to City Council. He has not approached 4A for this. He would like to
get this Master Plan done in the next 3 - 4 months.
The board requested Lanny to provide them with information, including cost, from other cities the same size as
The Colony, who have done something similar regarding median landscaping.
Item 2.3 Discussion and appropriate action regarding financial procedures for revenues and expenditures.
- Current financial procedures will remain. There was no action on this item.
There being fn further discussion, k't~sident King adjourned the meeting at 7:40 p.m.
