Council outlines beautification moves: trees, hydrant painting and signage
Summary
Council and staff reported curb sweeping, bulb replacement, cemetery tree plantings, tree planting in Bellybutton using private irrigation, painting hydrants, lawn mowing plans and signage ideas; council suggested volunteer groups for implementation.
Town staff reported several small‑scale beautification efforts at the worksession, including replacement of light bulbs, sweeping curbs and gutters, and planned tree plantings at the cemetery. Brian Richards said the town has a supply of trees for planting and proposed larger trees such as sycamores or cottonless cottonwoods for selected sites.
Councilmember Cory Johnson offered the use of irrigation on his Bellybutton property for tree plantings there; Councilmember Mark Sheen suggested painting fire hydrants to improve appearances and recruiting youth groups or JustServe volunteers to support projects. Council also discussed signage concepts to point visitors to local attractions like the library, cemetery, golf course and town hall.
The items were presented as operational improvements and volunteer opportunities; the minutes record no formal budget allocations or motions for these beautification steps.
