Ireton council approves donor-funded memorial replacements for dead park trees
Summary
Council approved replacing dead trees in the city park with trees purchased through donations “in memory” of loved ones; staff estimated an established tree would cost about $250–$300 and will advise on memorial plaques after plantings.
Councilor Mueller proposed replacing dead trees at the Ireton city park with new trees purchased using monetary donations made "in memory" of loved ones. Richardson, a city staff member, said an established tree would likely cost about $250–$300; council approved the plan on a motion from Mueller with Anderson seconding. The motion passed 5-0.
Richardson will obtain the trees; the council indicated that once trees are planted it will discuss plaques or other memorial recognition for donors. The meeting record does not include a vendor name or a final plaque policy, which staff will return with at a future meeting.
