Puffin / Waterside line of sight = $2467.12This project will give us additional plants to fill in

areas on Waterside where blank holes are present in beds and will be transplanted while the Puffin project is being completed in this price as well.

The 2011 vine project was budgeted for $30,000. the projects listed above total $10,725. These projects would greatly enhance the landscape at Wild Oaks and other important areas in the community.

I recommend we change the line item budgeted amount for the vine removal and use some of the funds to complete these projects.

We will still have funds for vine removal and Austin has been removing a lot of the vine as part of their contractual agreement in areas that we should be charged for at no additional charge.
