The Committee spoke at length regarding the types of plants that could be used in
flower boxes. To date, Kenai has a total of 36 flower boxes. Parks and Recreation
Director Frates stated he would try to get his crew to finish planting by June 12. In
addition, the Committee spoke briefly regarding water retaining elements that could be
used in drier than average areas.
Director Frates updated the Committee on the Spur Highway Project and noted, ten
more circle planters will be added in various locations from Main Street Loop to South
Forest Drive. He added, he was not certain the project would be completed in time to
provide time to plant flowers in the new planters this year. Ten new planters will have
a large effect on the budget and this will need to be considered next year.
