approximately $6,000. Swarner suggested members of the Committee attend the
March 19, 2003 council meeting when the requested appropriation would be
discussed.

summer banners. Member Seymour SECONDED the motion. There were no

5-b. Discussion -- Spring Planting
The Committee reviewed past planting options and discussed ideas for the upcoming
spring planting season. Swarner provided the Committee with the 2001-planting plan
for use as a guide. The Committee stated planting designs would be further reviewed
at the March meeting along with planter box sketches.
Ideas from the student observers included:
Consider planting vegetables (such as potatoes, carrots, kale, parsley, etc)
in some of the city flowerbeds. Upon harvesting time, either sell the vegetables at the
farmer's market or donate to the Food Bank.
