CC - Item 4E - Del Mar Ave Tree Planning Project - Hichcliff Street to Graves AveROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MATTHEW E. HAWKESWORTH, ACTING CITY MANAGER
DATE: JUNE 9, 2009
SUBJECT: DEL MAR AVENUE TREE PLANTING PROJECT- HIGHCLIFF
STREET TO GRAVES AVENUE
SUMMARY
On May 26, 2009, the City Council authorized staff to complete a tree planting project in
conjunction with street resurfacing improvements on Del Mar Avenue, from Garvey
Avenue to Highcliff Street. At this meeting, Council Member Taylor asked staff to look
into the feasibility of continuing the tree planting project on Del Mar Avenue from
Highcliff Street to Graves Avenue.
After surveying the parkway areas on Del Mar from Highcliff to Graves, staff determined
that there are 14 available locations to plant trees. On June 1 and 2, staff conducted a
survey of Del Mar Avenue residents to gauge interest in planting street trees. Residents
were asked to decide if they want a tree and if interested, select a species of tree to be
planted. Individuals not interested could also elect not to plant a tree.
The results of this survey (Attachment 1) indicate that out of 7 survey participants, 4
participants expressed an interest to continue with the tree planting project. Staff was
unable to make contact with residents at 3 properties (2 properties appear vacant).
Based on these survey results, staff is recommending that trees be planted at locations
approved by property owners and residents.
The total cost for this work is $6,565.14, including a 90-day maintenance period. There
is adequate funding in the street maintenance cost center (Gas Tax Funds) to fund this
project.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize tree planting at locations approved by
residents and authorize the City Manager to execute a contract to complete the work.
