Board considers memorial tree sponsorship program with $500 contribution

Village Board · February 25, 2026

Summary

A staff presenter proposed a memorial tree sponsorship program to offset costs of expanded tree replacement; the program would accept $500 contributions per sponsorship with a uniform marker and caveats that sponsorship does not convey ownership and replacement/species/location are not guaranteed.

A presenter introduced a proposed memorial tree sponsorship program intended to help offset the costs of replacing and adding trees. "Total contribution to that is $500 per fee," the presenter said while outlining program details and caveats that sponsorship would not convey ownership of a particular tree, markers would be uniform and could be moved, and tree replacement cannot be guaranteed in the same species or location.

The program was presented as a resolution; a second was recorded on the transcript. The proposal was framed as both a revenue-offset tool and a commemorative opportunity. The transcript does not record a final adoption vote in the captured segments.
