Committee outlines $10,000 donation, arborist role and interest in America250 planting
Summary
The committee reported $10,000 in committee funds plus an additional $10,000 private donation (to be spent by June 30) and discussed using the money for targeted tree replacements, partnering with America250 and local disc-golf fundraising to increase plantings.
Chair told the committee it has roughly $10,000 on hand for tree work and an additional $10,000 that a private resident donated, and said the donation must be spent by June 30.
"We have $10,000 for this year, and we have $10,000, that was donated from private private resident," the Chair said. "It's gotta be done by June 30. For sure." Committee members suggested using the funds both for a visible planting event (members discussed America250 efforts) and for targeted replacements identified by the arborist, and noted possible external partners (a disc-golf organization said it might contribute to irrigation or planting on the course).
Members discussed prioritizing smaller, geographically distributed replacements so the committee can show results across neighborhoods rather than committing the sum to a single large project. Staff said they will confirm budget availability and bring implementation options back to the committee.
