Summary
Charles Connor said he will email a draft requesting up to 75% cost-share for trees, pruning equipment and conference attendance, totaling $1,000, to be reviewed at the next Energy and Sustainability Task Force meeting.
Charles Connor, the Missouri Department of Conservation urban forester, said the ESTF should pursue a cost-share request to the Missouri Department of Conservation covering up to 75% of eligible costs for tree purchases planned for 2027 Arbor Day, invasive-species and tree-pruning equipment, and conference attendance for three members. Connor said he will email a draft proposal for the group to review at the next meeting.
The draft proposal cited a total request of $1,000 and noted that the Missouri Community Forestry Council conference runs Sept. 22–24 and requires registration by the end of July. The item was presented as a proposal for future consideration; no award or budget appropriation was made at the May 13 meeting.
