Board earmarks $1,500 for spring plantings from property maintenance funds
Summary
Members recalled a request from Eileen Stevenson for planting funds and noted $1,500 of the property maintenance budget was set aside for plantings; the larger property maintenance line was previously $5,000.
A board member reported an email from Eileen Stevenson asking about money for planting work. Members said the town set aside $1,500 from the property‑maintenance line for plantings "thinking that that could be used for clump ins," a member said, and that the broader maintenance line previously held $5,000.
Members discussed keeping plantings modest because of winter plow impacts and suggested locating new plantings away from heavy snow bank areas; they agreed to request a more detailed proposal and photo documentation of planting locations before authorizing additional spending beyond the $1,500 allocation.
