2. Landscaping of Collins Avenue Medians: Mayor Stern
explained that Mr. O'Leary had marked off 25 and 50 percent lengths
of the flower beds, for the Council to view. Mr. O'Leary stated
his recommendation was to reduce the flowers by 25 percent and add
Jasmine. He continued to explain that after the hurricane there is
a severe shortage of plants, therefore we have to contract to have
them grown. Councilman Boggess stated that on the longer beds a 50
percent reduction is in order, and 25 percent on the shorter beds.
Mayor Stern stated that at each end of the median areas should have
an equal amount of flowers. Councilman Boggess stated by reducing
the flower beds we will have reduced operating expenses.
Councilman Hirschl stated that the only area he would suggest
keeping the flowers would be coming from Haulover into Bal Harbour.
He further stated that this decision should be left to Mr. O'Leary.
Mr. O'Leary explained again the shortage of plants, and if we
reduce an additional 25 percent we must wait for the next flower
change. Mayor Stern questioned berming the flower beds. Mr.
O'Leary explained this will be done at the landscape contractor's
expense. Councilman Hirschl questioned whether the leaky pipe
system is working. Mr. O'Leary replied he will have the contractor
come back and check the system. The shields are installed and Mr.
O'Leary was requested by the Council to make sure there are no
glare problems. Assistant Mayor Blank stated that the cost to fill
in with the Jasmine will be more. He further stated he had
recommended to Mr. O'Leary to have an equal amount of annuals on
both sides of medians. He continued to state that he had
recommended the Jasmine be manicured same as the Bal Harbour Shops.
Mr. Singh stated he went up on the Sea View roof and there are more
flowers than Jasmines. Mayor Stern suggested that Mr. O'Leary take
a look from a roof on the north and south end of the Village. She
further stated that all flowers are to be reduced at all ends.
