Community garden organizer says committee has grants and donations, aims to start in spring
Summary
A community garden representative told Council the garden committee formed, applied for grants, received donated materials and expects to start building in the coming weeks with planting planned for spring.
During public comment a community garden organizer updated Council on progress: a committee has been formed, grants have been applied for (one grant turned in) and local businesses have donated feed and other materials to start on-site structures. The speaker said the project has received "very positive feedback" from the public and is on track to begin construction in the next few weeks, aiming for spring planting.
Council asked for the garden budget and the speaker agreed to send the full budget to staff so Council can see what has been covered and what remains unfunded. Council thanked the volunteer organizers for their work and encouraged the group to coordinate with staff on site details and timelines.
