recommended in the memorandum of September 30, <br />2008. <br />8.0. FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (FDOT) <br />MAINTENANCE MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT (MPOA) AND <br />AUTHORIZING RESOLUTION FOR LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE <br />ALONG SR 60 FROM JUST WEST OF 195 INTERCHANGE <br />(M.P.22.389) TO JUST WEST OF 82" AVENUE (M.P.23.923) FM # <br />228628-1-52-01 <br />Commissioner O'Bryan was concerned with the type of vegetation in the median <br />and the maintenance required to keep it looking good, particularly on State Road 60, one of the <br />main gateways to our County. He questioned how much control was in this contract for anti - <br />weed measures and in selecting the actual landscape plan, to ensure low maintenance, and low <br />water consumption. <br />Assistant Public Works Director Chris Mora assured him that staff has worked <br />very closely with the Department of Transportation (DOT) on this portion of landscaping for SR <br />60, and has the option to return the contract for revision if they disagreed with some of the <br />provisions. <br />Commissioners discussed other alternatives for providing the landscaping and how <br />they could reduce cost. They also thought they should seek ideas on how to reduce water <br />dependency, among other things, for our medians and landscaping. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher, <br />SECONDED by Vice Chairman Davis, under <br />discussion, to deny staff's recommendation for <br />approval of Alternative 1, and to direct staff to look at <br />October 7, 2008 13 <br />
