ITEM BEFORE THE COMMISSION
The Commission is asked to adopt a resolution authorizing the City to apply
for funding through Palm Beach County's 1994/1995 State and County Roadway
Beautification Grant Program.
BACKGROUND
Beautiful Palm Beaches, Inc., acting as the coordinator, recently launched
the 1994/1995 State and County Roadway Beautification Grant Program. The
deadline for the application is July 15, 1994.
The road construction on West Atlantic Avenue is scheduled to be completed
by the middle of November 1994. The City had always intended to install
irrigation and landscaping upon completion of the road widening. The City
has $215,000.00 available in the Decade of Excellence earmarked for this
project, however, we would like to apply for the grant which could provide
reimbursement for up to 50% of eligible project costs.
The City has recently put out a Request for Qualifications for a Landscape
Architectural Firm to design the West Atlantic Avenue project and assist
with the grant application. The short-listed firms will make a presentation
at the June 7, 1994 Commission Meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Commission adopt the resolution which would
give the City authorization to move forward with the grant application for
the 1994/1995 State and County Roadway Beautification Grant Program.
