Council approves tree-planting resolution; members cite a large grant
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 26-12 to approve use of urban and community forestry grant funds for tree purchase and planting; the clerk read a $50,000 expenditure line, while a council member later described the grant as $900,000 on the record.
The council adopted Resolution 26-12 to approve expenditure of urban and community forestry grant funds for the purchase and planting of trees (North Branch Nursery Incorporated). The clerk read the resolution by title indicating an expenditure of $50,000 in grant funds for the project and council waived the three readings before adopting the resolution by roll call.
During discussion a council member emphasized the scale of the grant, stating, “The amount is a $900,000 grant, which is unheard of for 1 community to receive that much.” The clerk's title summary cited $50,000 for the purchase and planting line item while a subsequent comment described the overall grant as $900,000; both statements were recorded on the transcript.
Council members noted that no city matching funds were required for the work and that substantial tree-planting and replacement activity is expected under the grant. Resolution 26-12 was adopted by recorded vote.
