will be released to the City to plant the trees. The amount of money remaining is

Terra Firma $17,320.00
Durham Hill Nursery $22,664.44 (Not staked)
Lambs Nursery $21,375.00 (Staked)
Mr. Sadowski noted that the quote submitted by Durham Hill Nursery was revised from
an original submittal as the company was not given the correct specifications.
Alderman Sanders noted that the quote from Terra Firma included 25 Crabapple Trees.
Mr. Sadowski stated that they are allowed; he does not prefer. Alderman Salentine
agreed. Mr. Sadowski also noted that Terra Firma did not meet the required date for
the quote submittal. The Mayor stated that the City would like the trees planted this
year. Mr. Sadowski explained the process for planting the trees. Residents have an
option as to location of the tree but not the type. Alderman Salentine moved to accept
quote submitted by Lambs Nursery in the amount of $21,375 utilizing $11,105 from the
developer’s deposit and charging the developer with the balance. The City is not
holding any other money for the development. Alderman Sanders seconded. Mr.
Sadowski stated that the City’s ordinance states no more than 50% of one species can
be planted. Alderman Slocomb expressed concern that the ordinance allows
Crabapple Trees and the Committee was not accepting the quote submitted which
included them. Both Aldermen Salentine and Sanders stated it was because the quote
was not timely submitted. Motion carried unanimously.
3. Review Offer to Purchase - Parkland Drive Bike Path.
The Mayor stated that the owner is asking for payment of legal fees by the City of

Sanders moved to recommend approval. Alderman Salentine seconded. Motion
carried unanimously.

motor purchase from Jalensky Sport Marine of Kenosha for a cost not to exceed
$8,000. Alderman Salentine seconded. The Chief stated that a resolution will be at the
