Commissioner Graham would like to <br /> plant vibrant colorful florals in the roundabouts to make the entrance to Pequot <br /> Lakes inviting and beautiful. Commissioner Graham also brought up the fact that <br /> we need volunteers for maintenance on the roundabouts. Commissioner Graham <br /> suggested incorporating a bobber into the design. Mike Loven pointed out that <br /> the maintenance department will not have time in 2018 to maintain or water the <br /> roundabouts. Mike Loven looked into an acre of wildflower seed which would be <br /> $290 for the seed. Commissioner Sjoblad commented that there are no plantings <br /> that are maintenance free. Commissioner Bryan and Mayor Adams suggested <br /> talking to master gardeners to get estimates and suggestions on which plants will <br /> work. Mayor Adams will speak with Tim Leagjeld about a creative design. <br /> Commissioner Graham asked for a copy of MnDOT's guidelines for the project. <br />
