The Glendale Town Board approved a $1,000 appropriation to support a volunteer committee that will manage Main Street planters and town beautification.
Mayor Chamberlain said volunteers Vicky Stanger, Britney Maxwell and Jamie Spencer agreed to head the committee and that the town would provide some plant purchases or a purchase card. Board members discussed prior volunteer-led planter care and possible sponsorships by families or businesses.
Clint Porter moved to approve $1,000 for the beautification fund, with reimbursement through receipts rather than an upfront check for auditing purposes; Raliegh Franklin seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Mayor Chamberlain said the committee would present a planting plan to the board in April and that some planters should not be planted before May 1.
Lori Jensen noted staff will follow standard procurement and reimbursement procedures for purchases. The board encouraged public participation and sponsorship opportunities to sustain the program long-term.
