Discussion- - 2001 Beautification Theme, Goals & Objectives
The Committee reviewed a list of last year's goals and objectives which were included in
the packet. They held a general discussion regarding goals and objectives for the
upcoming year. The discussions and ideas included'
Continue the Yard-of-the-Week program
Continue to update the flower brochure
Contact various social groups (Rotary, Lions, Scouts, 4-H, church clUbs,
Senior Center) for volunteer recruitment.
Distribute a brochure to inform the community of the roles of the
Committee.
Consider placing small recognition plaques at the sites of each adopted
flowerbed as thanks to volunteers involved with the Adopt-an-Area
program.
Place flower name tags/signs in flowerbeds to identify flower species.
Consider working on a slide presentation and try to be included in the
Master Gardeners' lecture series. It was noted, preparing for such a
presentation will take most of the summer.
Continue the roses and irises planting plan for the Cemetery. Member
Brown reported she has irises available for planting at the Cemetery, but
will need to be separated first.
Plant more perennials in the city beds and then fewer volunteers would
be needed as the plants would maintain themselves.
Director Frates suggested the Committee also develop a long-range plan and suggested
they work with the Parks & Recreation Commission in developing the plan. He also
noted the Committee had previously discussed placement of an automated sprinkler
system at the Leif Hansen Memorial Park. He reminded the Committee the budget for
the 2001/2002 fiscal year was in the development stages and if there is still interest in
the sprinkler system, they needed to discuss it further. He also noted, the sprinkler
system may be something to include in their long-range plan.
