OLD BUSINESS
50/50 Grant
Mr. Corder described the 50/50 grant to the Board members, saying there was
approximately $20,000.00 in the reserve fund from other tree removal within the City.
The homeowner would submit a plan for where the trees would be placed on their
property, along the right of ways where the City cannot now plant, due to infrastructure.
Homeowners would pay up front, and we would reimburse them half of the cost of the
trees, after the trees were placed and planted by the homeowner. The homeowner would
be responsible for maintenance and upkeep of the trees. This would be for homeowners
and not for "new construction" or builders. Mr. Corder stated the Board would help
decide what trees would be approved and asked them to bring back their suggestions to
the next meeting.
NEW BUSINESS
Update on Parks
Mr. Corder stated the project to extend the fishing pier and build the gazebo at Kennedy
Park should be completed by September 1, 2006. He said the soccer complex also
coming right along and the roof on the amphitheater in Hawks Park is scheduled to be
done this Fall.
He stated the shuffleboard facilities at Rotary Park are still in design and we are waiting
on St. John's permitting. This project could be held up, he noted, due to the budget.
