MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, February 28, 2011 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />  Page 11 of 13   <br />   <br />(10. MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT, Continued) <br /> <br />Kellogg indicated his intent is to have the landscape architects come before the City Council with a draft <br />landscape plan at their next meeting, and based on the comments of the City Council, it will be revised <br />and then evolve into a final plan that will be approved by the City Council. <br /> <br />Mattick stated he can change that language to final plans and specifications dated such and such a date or <br />other similar language. <br /> <br />Printup asked whether a cap on the landscaping should be specified. <br /> <br />Mattick noted the City Council will be approving the landscaping bid, which would detail the costs. <br /> <br />Bremer asked when the City Attorney is anticipating the agreement would be signed. <br /> <br />Mattick stated it was his understanding that the City Council would like some assurance that the School <br />District is comfortable with the draft agreement and that he can do that before the next City Council <br />meeting once he incorporates the changes recommended tonight. <br /> <br />Franchot commented he would like some assurance that the School district is comfortable with the <br />agreement prior to the Council officially voting on it. <br /> <br />Mattick asked what position the Council has on tree and landscaping replacement. <br /> <br />Printup noted the establishment period is approximately two years for the landscaping and that the <br />agreement should include the period after that. <br /> <br />Franchot stated in his view the agreement will be delayed if the City requires the School District to <br />replace the trees. <br /> <br />Mattick indicated that tree replacement can be included and the School District can either agree or <br />disagree with it. <br /> <br />Kellogg pointed out the majority of landscaping, including trees, will come with a two-year warranty. <br />Kellogg noted the sod would have a 30-day warranty. <br /> <br />Bremer stated she would like some provision included in the agreement concerning a maintenance <br />agreement with the contractor if the City Council elects to go that route, which would affect the timing for <br />replacing any of the landscaping. Bremer indicated she personally is in favor of irrigation. <br /> <br />McMillan noted the School District would conduct the mowing of the median and roundabouts once the <br />grass is established. <br /> <br />Printup asked whether there is a cap on the amount to be spent on the irrigation system. <br /> <br />Mattick noted the irrigation component will be an alternate and the City Council can either elect to go <br />with an irrigation system or not. <br /> <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 03/14/2011 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 02/28/2011 [Page 11 of 13]
