Landscaping bids have come in for the second street landscape project. Trustee Sam Martin had met with
Jim Hanley to go over bids and project details. The instructions were to hide the apartment building but
not bring the landscape out too far. There was discussion on the projects. Groundskeeper was eliminated
because they brought the landscaping out too far. Dutch required a lot of upkeep and maintenance. Scenic
was local ( from town) had trellices. Art’s Landscaping had the lowest bid and the design will screen
the most along with being the most generic to match anything else the Village does on the 2nd street project.
After discussion consensus was to recommend Art’s Landscaping for a cost not to exceed
$20,677.75.
Minutes respectfully submitted by Alisa Blanchette, Village Clerk.
