FROM: Mary K. Lindley, Assistant to the City Manager
DATE: January 13, 1993 (CC Meeting of January 20)
SUBJECT: Consider Budget Allocation for Additional
Landscaping at the Metrolink Station
.�
The block wall adjoining the residential neighborhood in the south
parking lot at the Metrolink Station is subject to graffiti. The
wall is old, uneven, and cracked in several places which detracts
from the overall attractiveness of the station.
Landscaping along the wall would greatly improve its appearance and
ultimately eliminate potential graffiti. In consultation with
Sunridge Landscaping Maintenance, staff has identified two types of
shrubs: one that will grow low to the ground and the other that
will climb and cover the wall. The latter shrub is one that is
identified by the Sheriff's Department as a shrub which is useful
in restricting anyone from access or entry.
The total cost of installing the additional landscaping and drip
irrigation system will cost approximately $2,700. The funds for
the additional landscaping is not included in the Council's
original allocation for the construction of the Metrolink Station.
Staff proposes that funds be allocated from the City -wide
Landscaping account of the Lighting and Landscaping Maintenance
District (AD 84.2) for this project.
As of January 24, 1993, the City will assume responsibility for the
maintenance of all landscaping and irrigation at the Metrolink
Station - it is currently the responsibility of the Metrolink
