Beautification Commission presents Legacy Tree Project to replace storm-damaged trees
Summary
The Beautification Commission outlined a Legacy Tree Project to replace trees lost to storms, proposing to use commission funds, set preservation procedures, and target planting in spring 2022 or possibly spring 2023; Jay Sinclair, a tree specialist, joined the discussion.
At the March 14, 2022 Milan City Council meeting, Councilmember Wayne introduced Jay Sinclair, a tree specialist, to present the Beautification Commission's Legacy Tree Project. The commission plans to use its fund balance to purchase replacement trees lost in recent severe storms and to develop procedures to preserve newly planted trees.
The group discussed planting as early as spring 2022, with a possibility of delaying to spring 2023 depending on logistics and procurement. Councilmember Wayne also noted community recognition items and thanked local volunteers; the minutes do not record a formal vote or budget transfer associated with the tree project.
The project is recorded in minutes as an item for discussion; no formal council action or funding appropriation is shown in the record.
