Simutaneously, the maintenance require- ments of the street and rights-of-way will be assured = proper consideration. Both the professional plan and the_ landscape materials will be provided by Project GREEN. Just how the city will share in this project, in order to continue our admirable cooperative relationship, will be clarified later. It would be expected that the city's sharewould be limited to structural., revisions if they occur in the plan. Financing for this project comes from the contribUbionsa of many citizens who loyally support landscape improvements for our town. In addition proceeds from the GREEN Garden Fair on may 15th at the 4-H Fairgrounds and the Garden Tours on May 9th and June 23rd will help to complete this major project. : Respectfully NANCY SEERLING, Chairman, Project GREEN NSiBK 1, MINUTES IOWA CITY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION APRIL 1, 1976 -- 4:00 P.M.
