Greens Committee (Brenda):
- Old
Business:
- The
citizen tree pruning workshop, led by Lou Sebesta, was held on June
15, 2004. It was attended by 12 people.
- Brenda
attended the Releaf Conference and gave our Power Point
presentation. The conference was attended by about 150 people.
- New
Business:
- A
number of trees that were planted last year need to be pruned by
volunteers who attended the tree pruning workshop. Brenda will
organize a workday (or workdays) to prune these trees, as well as
mulch some trees and pull out a dead tree.
- We
reviewed 2 bids that we received for the tree maintenance required
in the village. These bids were received from Integral Tree
and Landscape, and Green Space Enterprises. More information
is required before any decisions can be made. Brenda will
follow up with the companies and report back to the Village Green
Committee.
- Dan
Streib gave Brenda a list of 21 trees that need to be removed in the
village. Unfortunately, most of these trees do not match the
information that we have in our tree inventory database.
Brenda will follow up with Dan.
- Brenda
gave Joe Kistner (of Central Hudson) a list of trees that are
located under 3 phase wires. He is also requesting a list of
trees that are under service wires. Brenda will follow up with
Joe.
- The
Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is offering a grant
of between $3,500-$10,000. Brenda is working with Evelyn to
apply for this grant. They will try to coordinate with the
town in an effort to improve our chances of receiving it. The
deadline for the grant is August 16th.
