Old Business:

Planting Day:

Review of planting day. It was successful. All trees planted and watered. Memorial tree planting for Mr. Thayer was nice. Barights were happy to receive "Friends of Village Green" award.

New Business:

Brent Kovalchik from the Village Board will be the new liaison to Village Green. Welcome Brent!

Need to hire a paid waterer - Dan said that it would be about $10/hour (about $50) to water newly planted village trees on Firehouse lane and by Municipal parking lot. VG will remind homeowners to water new trees on their properties.

Chamber of Commerce requested $900 from Village Green for wine barrels to plant flowers in by businesses in the Village. After discussion, it was decided that Village Green funds should be used for tree planting purposes and not for wine barrels. Voted not to fund for wine barrels.

Honey Locusts by X-tra mart (at jct of Rt 9/199) need to be pruned. NY State complained about visual obstruction of traffic light. Brenda will check with arborist on price to prune trees correctly. VG will talk to owners of Xtra Mart for coordination of efforts/funds.
