Attendees:

Catherine Dichert, Harold Fell
Open the Meeting
- David
opened the meeting at 7:03
p.m.
Minutes of Last Meeting
- The minutes from the July 20, 2004,
meeting were
not discussed.
Greens Committee (Brenda):
- Old
Business:
- Brenda
has been working with Dan Streib to reconcile his list of 21 trees to
be cut down with the tree inventory database. They disagree on
about 8 trees, 9 trees were included in our bid for maintenance, and 4
are under 3-phase wires so Brenda is working with Central Hudson to
see if they will take care of them. Brenda will continue to work
with Dan.
- Brenda is
continuing to work with Joe Kistner of Central Hudson regarding the
list of trees under 3-phase wires as well as the list of trees under
service wires.
- We
reviewed the bids received from Integral and Green Space. David
will talk with the mayor to get his approval on spending the money,
and then David and Brenda will go over the numbers
again.
- New
Business:
- Brenda
needs to talk with Dan to ensure that the trees we want to cut down
are within the village right-of-way. Some may be the
responsibility of the state or county and we should investigate having
them take care of them.
- A
commemorative tree was donated in memory of Claire Carr, and was
supposed to be planted at the Elmendorf. However, they will
begin construction of their carriage barn shortly, so it does not make
sense to plant this tree there at this time. Brenda will talk
with the person who donated the tree to see if it is acceptable to
plant the tree in Abraham's Park.
Communications Committee (Mark
Meritt):
Fundraising Committee (David
Seymour):
- Old
Business:
- We missed
out on the DEC grant due to insufficient information in our
application.
- We should
hear about the other grant before the end of September.
- We have
$5324.98 in our Village Green fund and $4000.00 in the village
budget.
Additional Business
- Harold Fell
attended the meeting:
- Someone
would like to plant a commemorative tree in Abraham's Park, and Harold
needs a list of appropriate trees that can be planted. David
gave Harold a book that lists these trees.
- Harold
requested that the dead cedar tree be removed from the park and
replaced with a shade tree.
Motion to Close Meeting
- Chris made
a motion to close the meeting at 7:53. David seconded the
motion.
Next
Meeting
- Our next
meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 21st, at 7:00 p.m. in the
village hall.
