    Planters have been watered twice a week this month by Peralta Services and are showing improvement; mulching will occur the following week. Received a revised estimate from the Landscaping firm to add plants to planters. Planters at 43rd are to be handled by Hans and Randy. Artist Daud Abdullah completed 6 cans as part of mosaic trash can project. Directed by DE/ED, Rick and Darlene questioned the craftsmanship, exacerbated by the use of white tile as border which was improperly grouted and attracts graffiti and dirt. The artist completed another prototype box in front of Dollar Cleaners, which was more acceptable. It opened up the option of allowing inconsistent borders. Four additional cans have been added by the City to Telegraph Avenue at Good Bellies, Reed Brothers, Dollar, and at Aunt Marys. Bernadette expressed an interest in two additional cans at Childrens Hospital Action: Don Lowrey will follow up with artist to monitor trash can quality. Action: Darlene will look into additional can availability.
