The Council discussed the request from Hawthorne Ponds neighborhood for improvements to the
retaining wall on County Road 101 that abuts their neighborhood; specifically, making cosmetic
improvements so the look of the wall is similar to the retaining walls north of County Road 6 on
County Road 101. Public Works Director Cote stated that the City is responsible for the
maintenance of the concrete wall, and it's functioning just fine. The type of improvement being
requested (adding texture)would cost approximately$35,000. This isn't included in the Capital
Improvement Program. After a considerable amount of the discussion, the Council didn't take
any action on this request.
