Montrose accepts McDonald’s donation, approves $3,000 for Arbor Day planting and refunds ZBA fee
Summary
Council accepted a McDonald’s donation for tree planting, approved $3,000 to purchase and plant trees on Oct. 4, and approved a $250 ZBA variance refund to McDonald’s after staff confirmed a 2012 approval.
The council accepted a donation from McDonald’s to support tree planting and approved spending $3,000 to purchase and plant a variety of trees on Oct. 4. City Manager Neil Rankin said Klucks provided pricing for larger trees ($3,000 total) and Beardlees Tree Farm has provided trees in the past; Rankin said staff will notify residents and request volunteers.
Separately, staff discovered McDonald’s had a 2012 ZBA variance approval and recommended refunding a $250 variance fee because no expiration date for the approved work was found in the record; council approved the refund on a motion by Mark Richard, seconded by Todd Pangle (roll call recorded as all ayes).
The minutes list the approved tree purchase, vendor options, and the plan to use volunteers for planting; they do not attach vendor quotes or a planting map.
