5-a. Discussion -- North Forest Drive Beautification
Frates noted the apartment complex owner on North Forest Drive had not contacted
him recently; his last contact with him in July did not indicate he was pursuing
volunteers; he would continue working toward a volunteer program through his
department; and suggested tree planting along Forest Drive in strategic locations could
add to the aesthetics.
YTEM 6: NEW BUSINESS

Frates reported he would pursue acquiring the predominantly used plants in larger
sizes, particularly for the boxes and circle planters; the mounds at Memorial Park need
attention: and, suggested the Garden Club be approached about caring for the mounds
as a club project. Commissioner Shearer agreed to assist Frates in the Garden Club
discussion with President Marion Nelson.

Memorial Park to showcase their work.
