Patchogue board advances memorial tree sponsorship program with $500 contribution
Summary
The board considered and had a motion to approve a memorial tree sponsorship program requiring a $500 contribution with caveats about markers and no ownership rights; the motion was seconded but the transcript does not record a final vote tally.
The village considered a resolution to create a memorial tree sponsorship program to help offset the cost of a planned tree-replacement effort. Under the program, sponsors would contribute $500 and receive a uniform memorial marker with a short description; the resolution specifically states sponsorship does not confer ownership of a specific tree and markers may be moved for maintenance or repairs.
A board member moved to approve the resolution "as presented" and the motion was seconded. Board members noted trees are living organisms and replacement or relocation may be necessary; the sponsorship program was described as a way for residents to remember a loved one while contributing to municipal maintenance. The transcript captures the motion and second but does not record a roll-call or final tally in the meeting audio.
