Regular Council Meeting <br />2-26-07 <br />Page 4 <br />you, the number would be about $3,800.00 for everything. That number would go down in terms of <br />just because we are buying the hardware, we are buying the pots, or we are buying the hayracks. <br />Next year it won't be as much. <br />Mrs. Mills asked if Joanne could go and measure those pots by the Jadd Mall to see how big <br />they are. They are out there all the time. Then, maybe the representative at the nursery might have an <br />insert that she could drop into that pot. Mr. Buckholtz asked if they were freestanding pots. Mrs. <br />Mills stated they were. Joanne stated that she thinks that would be wonderful, but her thought was <br />how about Mr. Heinen? He does his own right in the front there too. Mrs. Mills stated that Mr. <br />Heinen has his own flower access. <br />Mr. Marrie agreed with Mrs. Mills that if we are going to do it for two others, we should do it <br />there a1so. So that it has some continuity, why don't we put the same pots at the Jadd as we did at the <br />Carney and the Musca? Rather than using their pots at a11? Mrs. Mills stated that Mr. Aveni had <br />those pots shipped up from Florida, there is a sentimental attachment to those. <br />Mr. Buckholtz confirmed that they will be hanging baskets and then boxes, like the ones that <br />hang on a fence. Joanne indicated hayracks, like the ones on the Gazebo. Mr. Buckholtz asked if <br />they have something that is freestanding. Joanne stated it is not on a pedestal, but it is a 24" pot done <br />in a clay color. It is a hard plastic. They weigh it, she tells you what she fills it with. The beauty is <br />the flower. At least the bottom is that clay color. They cascade two feet down, you do not even see <br />it. There are three different types of configurations. <br />Mr. Buckholtz stated that we should picture a little square around the center of town which <br />starts at Aintree by Exceleration and the back of Deacon's by Wilson Mills down by the end of <br />Musca's property over around the fire station, up by the cemetery. You have a little quadrant there. <br />Mr. Buckholtz suggested we take a straw vote that is somewhere around not to exceed <br />$5,000.00 is not an exorbitant amount of money. Mrs. Mills stated that you will need more than the <br />$3,800.00 quote if you are going to do the Jadd Mall. Don't short yourself. If you are going to do <br />this, let's do it properly. The Garden Club has tried and they have always been strapped for money to <br />really fill those baskets the way they are supposed to be. Mr. Buckholtz suggested we go to <br />$6,000.00. Mr. Marrie suggested we make it $7,500.00 max. <br />Mr. Buckholtz stated we should be good to go. Let them know to start planting flowers, we <br />are going to be a good customer, we want to hop on the program with these guys. Mr. Saponaro <br />asked what we are leaving her with now. Mr. Marrie stated that she is leaving with that she can <br />spend the $7,500.00 and she can come back to us with the details. <br />Mrs. Mills stated that we will have to amend the agenda. <br />? <br />: <br /> <br />Mr. Buckholtz asked for a motion to amend the agenda.
