Committee member Ron Roth presented photographs documenting the growth of native grasses and pollinating flowers he and partners planted three years ago at Meeks Farmstead Park, saying the area had been bare dirt prior to the effort and that the plants have returned each year without issue.

Roth credited assistance from Justin and Councilman David Burton in establishing the plantings. Later in the meeting, Roth requested a moment of silence in honor of Sam and the Halterman family, which the committee observed. The committee adjourned at 7:20 p.m. and said it will likely reconvene only after Arbor Day if further action is needed.
