Tree Board approves minutes, announces $3,000 community foundation award for street trees
Summary
The Harbor Springs Tree Board approved its previous meeting minutes and announced a $3,000 award from the Community Foundation toward street-tree planting; the board said the city will cover the remaining cost and will include new sites in next year’s planting list.
The Harbor Springs Tree Board voted to approve its previous meeting minutes and heard that the group’s grant application to the Community Foundation was successful. Chair (S1) said the foundation award will cover half the cost of this year’s street-tree program and that the city will cover the other half.
The chair noted a minor wording error in the draft minutes and the board moved to approve the minutes with a requested edit. Erin (S2) made a motion to approve the minutes “with the changes,” and the board voted in favor. The motion passed and the chair announced the minutes were approved.
Following that procedural business, the chair announced the Community Foundation award and reported $3,000 raised toward the program. Board members said the grant will support the board’s street-tree efforts for the coming season and discussed adding eligible sites — including a resident-requested location on 2nd Street — to next year’s planting list.
Next steps listed by the board included routing the awarded funds into the street-tree program and coordinating with Public Works on scheduling plantings and any required permitting. The meeting adjourned at 01:42.
The board’s approval of the minutes and the grant announcement were recorded on the meeting agenda.
