1. Public Input
a. We were moved due to too many meetings... only two of us, so no quorum
2. General Items
a. Oct minutes approved —
b. New Honey Locust planted in Thomson by the shelter by Billings Nursery for $1,034
c. Arbor Day grant for $750 needs to be done by the end of the year. Matt will do that.
d. 2022 Arbor Day—Tuesday, May 3rd—South Pond
3. Old Business
a. Downtown trees — We have 13 locations that should be replaced. If the trees are
gone the stumps are still in the ground or suckers are growing... its looks awful.
b. We should notify the landowners it's their responsibility to replace them.
4. Other Items
a. Volunteer hours - Please keep your hours to be returned in December
b. South Pond — asphalt walkway is finished. Paul said the Lions would like to see the
drip system improved so that more trees could be planted around the pond.
Benches are also an item — Rotary would like to add their benches.
A retaining wall to hold back the east ledge will be necessary eventually.
Next meeting December 16th -9:30
LuAnne Engh, Chairman
