SUBJECT: BENETA WAY TREE PLANTINGS
Recently staff met with the school district and Lu Matos, Principal of Columbus
Tustin School, to discuss beautification of Beneta Way adjacent to the school.
result of this meeting, the student body of Columbus Tustin School has donated
$500.00 to be used in the~purchase of parkway trees along Beneta Way. In addition,
the school district will be providing help to dig some of the required holes.
As a
This area was originally developed within the county and no trees Were planted at
that time. This joint effort project will be a help towards beautifying this street.
Concurrently with this project we will be proceeding with the tree planting along
Irvine Blvd. and Prospect Ave. on school property adjacent to the chain link
fencing. Again the school district has offered to help the City by supplying labor
to plant these trees. It is anticipated that these planting projects will be
completed by the end of February, 1981.
It is suggested that staff prepare two letters for the Mayor's signature to be sent
to the Columbus Tustin Student Body and the school district thanking them for their
donation and cooperation in this beautification effort.
