merchants to chip in $20.00-$30.00 per month (more when it is warm for two+
times a week.) Our baskets are on the facades not light poles so not all
businesses have them. This seemed the only fair way. My guess is that you could
do a more structured program using the same concept if it is in the public right
of way. I don't know about insurance issues. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>I’m interesting in knowing if anyone out there has a flower
basket watering program in place in which you have a contract with a third-party
vendor to take care of the flower basket maintenance/ watering. If so, I’d like
to see a copy of your agreement/ contract with the vendor. Thanks for
sharing.<o:p></o:p></P>
