having the wall constructed and to discuss the City's proposed construction and maintenance
option which would include the City constructing the wall and then the HOA maintaining the
wall. This is the most expensive wall with a cost of $1.5 million. Commissioner Glasser asked
that walls also be constructed in other areas of the City at the same time. Commissioner

consensus to move forward with staff's recommendations.
