BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
In February, Midwest Landscapes of Otsego contacted Staff about donating trees that are currently
planted on property they lease. This lease was expiring and Midwest Landscapes needed to remove
their current stock of trees from the leased property. Since the initial conversation with staff, Midwest
Landscapes has learned that they are able to continue with the lease, however, they are still interested
in moving forward with the donation.
The trees will be planted at the Prairie Park Soccer Complex along the east, west, and north sides of the
fields. Staff will work with Three Rivers Soccer Association on the best placement of the trees in relation
to spectator viewing, irrigation, and electrical service.
City Engineer Ron Wagner included in his soccer field final cost projection a tree allowance of $3,000,
the cost to install the donated trees is $2800.
