Council approves 34th Street pollinator plot as demonstration project
Summary
The council approved a city blessing for a demonstration pollinator plot on 34th Street, allowing volunteers to remove invasive plants and seed native pollinator species; the motion passed with a roll call voice vote (moved by Kate; second by Dean).
The council voted to allow volunteers to install a demonstration pollinator plot on 34th Street, authorizing removal of invasive palm grasses and seeding with native pollinator species. Chair moved the item forward in the agenda and a motion to permit the work passed with a first from Kate and a second from Dean.
A presenter said the site is appropriate because it contains two distinct habitat areas and can serve for demonstration purposes. "What we need is the city's blessing to be able to do that," the presenter said, and councilors expressed support. Members noted the group would work with the lesson (fire/parks contact) and volunteers to manage invasive species and maintain the plot over time.
Councilors recorded no objection and the motion carried by voice vote. Staff said the project would be managed with donated labor and material and that the group will coordinate with city parks staff on long-term care and signage.
