Historical Markers Forward Maintenance Plan (S. Connelly)
Body
BACKGROUND: At the Committee’s October 2, 2024 meeting, City of Marco Island Recording Specialist Jim Kornas, on behalf of Committee Chair Shelli Connelly, reported that the repair of the storm-surge-damaged landscaping around several of the Marco Island Historical Markers was completed just prior to the Committee's October 2nd meeting. Additionally, assistance in maintaining the Committee's landscaping around one or more of the Historical Markers was offered by:
1) the Rotary Club of Marco Island Sunrise (offered/communicated by past Club President William Morris), and;
2) neighborhood residents near the Kirk Archeological Site Marker on Olds Court (as reported by the landscape installer; no specific resident(s) identified).
Ms. Connelly plans to share photos of the repaired and completed landscaping sites at the Committee's November 13, 2024 meeting and engage the Committee in planning for, and managing, the ongoing maintenance of the landscaping at all 13 Historical Marker sites.
FUNDING SOURCE / FISCAL IMPACT: None expected.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1) Define the watering and maintenance needs for the landscaping at each of the 13 Marco Island Historical Marker sites;
2) Confirm the details (locations, scope or work, number of days per week, etc.) of the commitments offered by the Rotary Club of Marco Island Sunrise and the neighborhood residents near the Kirk Archeological Site Marker on Olds Court, and;
3) Establish and document the Committee’s plan to maintain and periodically review the status of the landscaping at the 13 Historical Marker sites during the 2025 Fiscal Year.
POTENTIAL MOTION: None expected at this time.
