Summary

Member Boor reported to the board that the May 17 garlic mustard pull was "pretty successful" and lasted about two hours with 15 volunteers; Member Flynn added that volunteers had to "hunt around to find" remaining plants. Boor also said recently planted trees and shrubs were funded by a grant and donations and are now in a maintenance phase.
Board members discussed planning for a fall buckthorn event and the need to coordinate maintenance and franchise-fee concerns with City staff at a future meeting. No formal action was taken; the item was recorded as an update for ongoing stewardship of park vegetation.
