To further enhance this area and eliminate the effect of the evergreen trees overshadowing the flagpole, I requested a proposal from Booth's Landscaping suggesting improvements. Attached for your review is the landscape archite~t's suggested layout for this area. The project including the proposed sign is estimated to exceed $10,000. I would appreciate comments and suggestions on the design and a recommendation to inciude this work in the budget for next year. www.ci.kenai.ak.us. . ~ p;~~r ~' .' ~ ~= ~ ~ -1 ~ ~ : J ~~ ~ I~~,~ ~ , . ~~ ~~~ ~ ~ ~ ' .~ \~.. ~. ~ ;~ ~ '~'"~ ~ - ~ ~~ ~ ~, ~^~' ~_~. ~ :~ .'~` i ~ - ' ~ .,_.~~ ::~--- _ .~_ ~ ~~~ ~~ - - i uryr«t /nvs s,/twNK ~ K~NAI ~1UNICIPAI.

Some of the material donated by greenhouses has not been tested for viability in the outdoors. • Remove grass from various areas and replace in Erik Hansen Scout Park. • Poppies should be planted at the Erik Hansen Scout Park.
