Minutes of Last Meeting
| The minutes from the July 20 and August
24, 2004 meetings were
not discussed. |
Greens Committee (Brenda):
| Old
Business:
 | Greenspace Enterprises and Integral
Landscaping have been hired to do the village's tree maintenance.
Work should begin in a few weeks. The trees brought to our
attention by the highway superintendent were addressed in the work
plan given to Integral. |
Right-of-way issues were discussed. It was agreed that the
village should not tackle tree maintenance that is not within the
right-of-way. The mayor, Dave Cohen, searched for right-of-way
maps and found none. He has suggested 20 feet as a "rule of
thumb" on village streets. The state is not responsible for
tree maintenance within village limits. | |
| New
Business:
| Harold Fell, Abraham's Park
superintendent, requested that 6 commemorative trees be planted in
the park. They will be swamp white oaks. One donor wants
the bluestone marker provided by Dave Cohen. Evelyn will order
the stone. Cost to donors of trees was determined by the
actual cost of the tree plus $100 to cover labor, gator bags, mulch,
etc. Therefore the total cost for these trees is $211 each. |
Two dead trees on Phillips Street and
one cracked tree on W. Market Street are on our work plan, but may
not be within the right-of-way. Dave, Evelyn, and Brenda will
measure the distances. | The
trees for Abraham's Park have been ordered and will arrive late
October. The replacement trees from Adams have been requested.
Brenda is waiting for a final answer. |
Brenda found another source of trees
in Kinderhook that is willing to provide our trees "at cost".
The committee wants to try ordering from them in the spring. | | | | | |
Communications Committee (Mark
Meritt):
| No report. |
Fundraising Committee (Evelyn Krueger):
|
New
Business:
| Evelyn discussed the possibility of
having another Bakeless Bake Sale, because it was so successful this
year. She suggested January for the date. |
Catherine volunteered to look out for
grants for the Village Green, because she reviews grants at work. | | |
| Old
Business:
|
The village tree fund has $13,500. |
Village Green money allotted by the
village is $3920. |
An updated total of the money raised through
fundraising was not available. It should be the same as last
month's amount, which was $5324.98.
