The department would advertise the event through personal contacts and Facebook. It was further noted folks could call the office and make arrangements to plant, as all beds would be prepped and material provided in advance along with planting diagrams. Unanimous support was expressed by Commission members, and the Director clarified a list of bed locations would be emailed to members. b. Discussion – Beautification Brochure The Parks and Recreation Director referred to the brochure in the packet and requested feedback. It was noted the brochure would be updated as different varieties of flowers were purchased for planting but that a majority of the flowers were currently listed. It was suggested that dashes be changed to provide consistency in the brochure. There was a general consensus by the Commission that the brochure looked good and no further comments were noted. 7.
