Description
Athens Shade Tree Commission - March 10, 2022
A
Hi,
welcome
to
tonight's
shade
tree
commission
meeting
march
10th
2022.
A
we're
going
to
start
off
the
agenda
today
with
an
election
of
officers.
To
my
knowledge
dave.
Do
we
only
need
to
elect
a
chair
or
are
there
other
positions
that
need
to
be
filled.
A
Okay,
so
we
need
to
elect
the
chair
who
would
like
to
put
forward.
I
would
like
a
nomination
nominate
chris
chris.
Would
you
accept
that
nomination?
Would
anybody
else
like
to
run
an
opposition?
A
Do
we
have
to
worry
about
david,
david
ingram?
No,
no!
So
if
chris
is
willing
to
be
president
and
to
chair
meetings,
I
would
ask,
are:
is
everybody
in
favor.
C
D
Have
I
have
the
agenda
up?
Actually:
okay,
normally,
when
we
go
through
these
agenda
items,
we
go
through
and
establish
a
quorum
which
we
seem
to
have.
D
Then
we
go
through
the
other
requirements
that
the
tree
commission
does
overlook.
For
example,
title
33,
whether
there's
any
tree
permits
or
right-of-way
issues
or
public
land
issues
with
our
trees.
There's
no
item
for
discussion
is
that
right,
david.
That's.
D
B
We
don't.
I
will
note
that
this,
the
shade
tree
commission
approved
marriott
a
memorial
hospital,
but
they
are
considering
revising
their
plans
and
they
may
resubmit.
So
if
that's
the
case,
it's
possible,
you
could
see
their
landscape
plans
come
back
here.
I
don't
know
if
they're
gonna,
if
they're
gonna,
if
they're.
B
A
I
I
do
have
a
question
for
dave
dave,
any
updates
on
the
pollinator
garden
plaques.
B
I
sent
some
information
to
everybody.
I
don't
know
if
it
was
this
week
or
last
week.
I
can't
remember
my
weeks
are
running
together
that
we
I
checked
with
b
city
usa,
and
there
are
they
don't
have
any
we
thought.
Maybe
they
might
have
a
plaque
or
something
we
can
create
one.
I
would
maybe
suggest
that
this
board
could
could
look
at
a
draft
and
approve
it
if
we
wanted
to
go
with
that.
B
A
Yeah
there
was
a
suggestion
that
we
ask
passion
works
if
they'd
be
willing
to
make
a
design
for
us,
but
how
much
it
would
cost.
D
A
A
suggestion
might
be,
I
don't
know
how
you
feel
about
this,
so
we
collect
25
for
anybody
who
wants
to
have
pollinator
garden
designation.
B
D
C
D
Will
be
a
agenda
item
in
the
future?
Is
our
budget?
Yes,
yeah?
I
think
also
one
of
the
things
is
there
will
be
maybe
some
costs
with
education
and
pamphlets
and
posters
and
those
sort
of
things
that
make
a
program
like
really
fly.
Something
like
the
city
needs
to
think
more
about
anyway.
Okay,
okay,
maintenance
of
the
tree
canopy.
Do
we
have
any
items
for
discussion
there.
C
I
wanted
to
ask
something:
we
were
in
process
at
one
point
or
another
of
trying
to
do
some
surveying
of
spots
in
our
areas
that
needed
help
and
I
think,
there's
a
problem
with
the
right-of-way
thing,
because
I
don't
think
it's
the
same.
City-Wide
right
aren't
there
isn't
the
right
of
way
different.
B
That's
part
of
the
reason
the
code
office
looks
at
these
as
it's
our
responsibility
to
determine
where
the
right-of-way
is
and-
and
I
can
do
that-
I
have
the
ability
to
look
and
see
where
the
right-of-way
is.
We
have.
We
have
information
in
our
office
to
do
that.
So
it's
part
of
our
duty
to
to
determine
whether
that
tree
is
located
in
the
city's
public
right-of-way
or
if
it's
on
private
property.
D
Which
is
something
that
we
can
do
better.
E
D
Well,
exactly,
and
I
think
that
that's
a
discussion
that
we
need
to
have
coupled
with
what
mary's
going
to
talk
about
and
the
comprehensive
plan
process
that
you
know
all
the
information
from
that
yeah.
C
A
And
I
did
hand
to
or
email
to
catherine
and
our
list
of
possible
places
for
planting
trees,
which
was
part
of
the
november
minutes,
and
so
I
sent
that
on
to
her
as
she
that's
her
responsibility.
A
So
the
list
that
you
guys
put
together
for
planting
trees
did
go
to
her.
F
A
C
D
I
I
think
that
also
because
we
are
kind
of
doing
looking
at
our
processes
and
our
priorities
and
and
tree
planting
issues
and
the
that
kind
of
go
go
goes
with
the
shade
tree
commission
academy
that
you've
been
talking
about
right.
Those
sort
of
I
think
that
we're
going
to
kind
of
be
leapfrogging
with
some
of
this,
these
issues
before
we
can
map
them
all
out
and
stuff.
So
it's
going
to
kind
of
be
ad
hoc
for
a
little
bit,
but
going
forward.
D
I
think
that
we
can
do
a
lot
of
of
the
on
the
ground,
planning
and
and
stuff
from
some
really
good
information
that
that
marian
and
stuff
will
bring
something
for
further
just
to
be
a
in
the
minutes.
For
some
other
discussion
tree
canopy
maintenance.
I
do
we
have
best
management
practices
that
everybody
has
to
work
under
for
doing
tree
maintenance,
especially
in
the
right
of
way.
D
That's
a
good
thing
that
we
can
recommend
right
on.
Can
you
put
that
as
a
future
action
item?
Thank
you.
That's
just
more
maple!
Okay!
Before
we
go
on
to
the
next
discussion
item,
I'm
sorry,
I
did
not
introduce
our
newest
member
of
the
shade
tree
commission,
which
is
catherine
zep,
and
I
want
to.
D
To
have
you
on
our
you
have
so
much
knowledge
and
history
of
so
many
ex.
You
know
of
the
ridges
and
all
your
work.
That's
it's
very
exciting
to
have
you
with
us,
it's
very
nice
to
be
here.
Thank
you
and
how
cute
is
it
with
them?.
D
A
Okay,
so
david,
you
were
gonna
research,
the
plaque
options
which
you
have
done.
Thank
you
and
your
further
action
item
will
be
a
look
at
passion
works
right,
okay,.
A
There
are
action
items
I
am
looking
through
chris.
You
were
going
to
review
code
and
suggest
changes
to
shadri,
which
would
then
provide
suggestions
to
david
r,
and
this
was
regarding
holding
contractors
responsible
for
the
removal
of
trees
in
the
right-of-way
right.
D
I
think
that,
right
now
we
have
to
look
at
the
contractor
language.
Make
sure
that
all
tree
contractors
are
have
to
be
registered
with
the
city
under
that
program
and
look
at
what
different
types
of
requirements
that
we
have
in
the
right-of-way
for
tree
maintenance,
which
includes
one
of
the
things
that
I've
heard
from
people
is
they
don't
grind
the
stump
away.
They
grind
it
sort
of
away
and
then,
when
you
go
to
do
something
there,
it's
a
big
pit
of
a
card.
C
A
D
Meeting
to
discuss,
I
will
probably
send
some
ideas
and
recommendations
from
other
groups
that
are
out
there.
Okay,
thank
you.
A
So
andy
was
gonna.
Ask
andrew
whether
or
not
there
would
be
arbor
day
activities
this
year.
I
did
not
receive
a
response.
Do
you
know
anything?
I.
B
D
Well
and
the
idea
for
our
arbor
day,
celebration
too,
that
I
put
out
as
a
proposal
with
all
this
stuff.
A
Right
and
so
we
will
discuss
that.
Okay
with
mary,
the
action
was
for
andy
to
check
whether
tree
city,
usa,
documentation
mandates
that
shae
tree
commission
have
a
role
in
arbor
day.
A
Sorry
clarification.
I
don't
believe
that
that's
true,
oh
yes,
I
I
believe
that
you
would
like
to
see.
Shadri
have
a
role,
but
I
do
not
believe
that
it
was
written
into
the
documentation
that
we
must
have
a
role.
A
Is
when
we
had
our
documentation
sent
and
for
approval
for
us
to
be
a
tree
city,
usa,.
E
F
Well,
it's
not
codified,
but
there
are
four
standards
that
a
city
has
to
meet
to
be
a
tree
city.
Usa,
yes-
and
you
know,
do
you
want
me
to
go
through
those
four
standards?
I.
F
A
And
I
understand
that
typically,
one
equals
the
other.
The
reason
why
you're
getting
such
pushback
from
me
is
because
it
is
not
in
code
and
no
one
on
the
council
when
we
talked
last
time,
wanted
to
step
forward
and
take
that
activity
on
they
wanted
to
participate
as
an
individual
in
the
activities,
but
there
was
a
reluctance
for
shadri
to
accept
another
role.
Now
now
that
we
have
more
people
here,
it
might
be
possible
that
we
say
yes.
C
A
F
I
so
I
don't
think
that
every
activity
a
tree
commission
does
should
or
could
be
codified.
A
tree
commission
serves
at
the
pleasure
of
the
city
administration.
You
were
appointed
by
the
mayor.
E
F
If
tree
city
usa
is
important
to
him
and
important
to
the
city
administration,
yes,
it
seems
like
you
guys
do
what
is
necessary
to
keep
that
designation
and
arbor
day
is
at
the
heart
of
being
a
tree.
It's
the
easiest
thing
that
a
tree
city,
usa
can
do
every
year
and
it's
actually
the
most
fun
thing.
It's
the
least
controversial
thing.
F
F
To
rethink
some
of
the
priorities,
because
that's
the
easy
stuff.
E
C
E
C
D
Her
group,
and
also
with
the
discussion
that
david
has
about
our
roles
put
in
through
our
organic
resolution,
they're
always
changeable
too
right.
If
we
wish
to
yeah.
B
If
I
could
just
add
one-
and
maybe
ann
can
help
me
with
this-
the
city,
the
the
this
region's
tree
city,
usa,
awards
ceremony-
is
going
to
be.
May
the
6th
in
zanesville.
B
The
city
staff
would
really
like
to
see
the
shade
tree
attend
that,
if
at
all
possible,
and
so
we're
willing
to
pay
the
fees
and
sign
you
and
sign
the
board
up
if
they
would
be
interested
in
doing
that,
I
just
need
to
know
who
would
like
to
go.
It's
on.
May
the
sixth
in
seacrest
auditorium
is
you
can
help
me
with
that?
Maybe.
F
F
A
F
Secret,
this
will
be
may
6th.
You
guys
should
have
gotten
an
invitation.
I
sent
an
email,
but
it
was
one
of
those
group
emails,
so
it
might
be
in
your
spam
folder.
It
is
an
event
that
that
you
know
you
register
for
and
and
it's
25
bucks
a
person
that
covers
your
lunch
and
there'll,
be
some
tree,
seedling,
giveaways
and
and
some
educational
presentations
and
such
is
it
in
columbus.
No,
this
is
at
seacrest
in
zanesville,
oh.
F
Every
year
different
tree
city,
usa,
communities
take
turns
hosting
the
regional
events,
so
athens
hosted
it
years
ago.
C
F
F
There'll
be
some
presenters
every
every
you
know,
catherine.
Every
year
it's
different
some
years
like
one
year.
F
We
had
it
at
the
wilds
and
we
toured
the
wilds
and
we
we
spent
the
time
you
know
talking
about
trees
and
animals
and
all
those
things
next
year,
we're
most
likely
going
to
do
it
at
vinton
furnace
we're
going
to
take
a
wagon
ride
through
the
woods
and
talk
about
forest
issues,
but-
and
that's
only
because
there's
only
you
know
12
to
13
tree
city
usas
in
our
region
of
the
state,
so
we
run
out
of
you
know
I
try
to
make
it
exciting
and
new
every
year,
but
zanesville
they
offered
to
host
this
year.
F
They're
celebrating
their
25th
year
as
a
tree
city,
usa,
they're
dealing
a
lot
with
a
lot
of
the
same
problems.
You
guys
are
and
the
same
opportunities
you
guys
have
as
well.
So
it'll
be
really
good.
If
you
guys
can
make
time
that
day
and
get
there.
So
that's
a
friday
right,
it
is
a
friday.
F
It's
may
6th,
and
you
know
a
lot
of
times
if
you
carpool,
like
it's
a
chance
for
you
guys
to
to
get
to
know
each
other
better
and
to
have
an
adventure.
There's
also
some
incredible
parks
in
zanesville
we're
going
to
try
to
there's
a
place
called
mission
oaks
gardens.
It
was
started
by
one
of
the
tree
commissioners
in
zanesville,
and
we're
gonna
try
to
arrange
to
have
like
a
morning
tour
before
it.
A
Okay,
great,
I
will
say,
regretfully
I
cannot
attend
my
big
plant
sales
the
next
day
so
and.
A
A
I
I
did
enjoy
it
great
okay,
other
action
items,
sorry
going
through
okay,
shade
tree
members
were
encouraged
to
provide
comments
to
andrew
about
the
letter
to
property
owners
about
trees
in
the
right
of
way.
E
C
I
don't
know
whether
you
noticed
there
was
one
sentence
that
was
yeah
complete.
Yes,
I
didn't.
A
Asked
him,
but
I
was
like
what's
up
with
that
yeah
I
remember
that
okay
and
the
action
item
was
gonna,
be
the
city
was
gonna.
Tell
chris
whether
or
not
they
thought
developing
informational
materials
for
the
property
owners
would
be
helpful
right.
A
A
To
do
more
action
items
if
the
city
decides
to
replace
the
trees
at
the
county.
Courthouse
then
shade
tree
recommended
that
the
city
reach
out
to
ann
and
to
shade
tree
has
there
been
any
further
discussions
about
the
trees
that
were
removed
at
the
courthouse.
C
A
All
yeah,
so
actually
we
do
have
the
list
of
native
trees,
it's
associated
with
the
pollinator
garden
page
now.
So
it's
all
there.
A
We
give
a
separate
list
of
native
trees
in
addition
to
pollinators
in
general.
So
yes,
that
list
does
exist
and
is
up
on
the
web
page
chris,
you
were
have
an
action
item
to
review
code
language
and
suggest
changes
to
shade
tree
that
will
provide
more
specificity
based
on
planting
and
prunings
of
trees.
A
D
A
So
that's
that
we'll
roll
that
into
best
matter
the
main
practices
and
those
sort
of.
D
A
D
Thank
you,
so
I
think
that
this
kind
of
rolls
right
into
some
of
the
discussion
about
the
duties
and
responsibilities
that
you.
B
E
B
Okay,
so
one
of
the
things
you
guys
asked
was
that-
or
I
I
suggested
I
think
last
meeting
was
that
I
could
go
through
the
codified
ordinance
and
and
spell
out
what
I
think
the
duties
and
responsibilities
are
for
the
shade
tree
commission
and
I
broke
it
into
three
pieces.
B
Your
primary
duties,
the
way
that
it's
codified
in
our
city
ordinances
is
that
you
are
to
determine
the
problems
and
needs
associated
with
the
city
tree
planting
program
number
two
to
recommend
the
types
of
trees
that
should
be
planted
on
city
property,
number,
three,
to
provide
information
to
the
public,
about
trees
and
tree
maintenance,
and
then
the
fourth
is
to
conduct
regular
meetings.
B
So
those
are
the
four
primary
duties
as
codified
for
for
this
sport,
there
are
some
secondary
duties
that
that
are
also
spelled
out,
and
that
is
to
work
with
the
surface
easy
for
me
to
say
safety
service
director
for
pruning
planting,
removing
trees
in
the
right
of
way.
So
you
would
make
recommendations
to
the
service
safety
director
regarding,
regarding
that
to
maintain
a
list
of
qualified
companies
to
perform
tree
work.
B
B
You
are
to
maintain
a
list
of
invasive
and
noxious
plants,
also
to
maintain
a
list
of
pollinator-friendly
plants
acceptable
to
the
city
for
planting
to
and
then
to
review
title
41
site
plan
landscaping
and
make
recommendations
to
planning
commission
for
the
approval
of
the
landscaping
plans.
Those
are
the
I'd
say
secondary
duties
under
the
primary
and
then
I
have
some
recommended
things
at
the
bottom.
A
Okay,
so
question
all
right:
okay,
so
the
removal
we
do
that
the
list
of
qualified
companies
that
perform
tree
work.
D
B
The
city
of
athens
code
office
requires
any
contractor
in
the
city
to
be
registered,
but
that
would
be
a
plumber
electrician,
a
roofer
and
and
we
require
those
people
to
be
registered.
But
it
does
include
anybody
that
would
do
tree
work.
So
I
can
give
you
a
list
of
those
people
to
help
start
that
list
of
qualified
of
who
you
guys,
consider
qualified
tree
removal.
People.
D
F
Recommend
that,
in
a
lot
of
cities,
they
they
do
have
recommendations
and.
F
Real
simple
things
like
making
sure
they
carry
a
certain
amount
of
insurance
liability
insurance,
make
sure
that
they
have
up-to-date
documentation
that
they
are
paying
into
workers
compensation.
D
That's
the
number
three
requirements
that
registration,
the
registration
program
that
we
do
from
the
city,
and
so
but
we
could
determine
whoever
works
on
our
right-of-way.
Have
certain
qualifications
follow
certain
sort
of
guidelines,
but
like
best
management
practices
that
we
would
adopt
as
what
we
want
to
have
happen
on
the
right-of-way?
D
This
is
not
for
private
property
right,
you
know.
So,
let's
separate
those.
We
have
a
lot
of
control
over
our
right
of
way
and
we
should
take
it
and
we
should
make
sure
that
people
who
are
knowledgeable
bonded
and
has
a
good
record
work
in
our
right
of
way.
A
Agreed
so
out
of
the
six
that
are
listed
in
the
second
group,
we
do
all
of
them,
except
for
that
one.
So
it
sounds
like
that's
a
major
action
item
for
us.
Well,
I.
G
F
F
So
I
I
can
imagine
that
even
arborists
who
are
working
on
private
property
probably
have
to
register.
Yes,
they
do
so
so
that
would
be
worthwhile.
You
know
because
it
does
protect
property
owners.
You
know
they're
hiring
somebody
and
it
helps
ensure
that
they
are
reputable
and
they
do
what
they
say.
B
B
F
Insurance
workers
comp,
but
also
following
the
best
management
practice
like
the
ansi
standards.
Ansi
standards
are
the
american
national
science
institute.
F
They
have
standards
for
all
kinds
of
stuff
everything
from
engineering
to
everything,
including
tree
care
and
and
some
of
it's
safety
related,
but
also
related
to
how
trees
grow,
and
you
know
protecting
the
investment
that
we
have
in
trees.
So
we
could
definitely
come
up
with
some
simple,
clear
guidelines
and
stuff.
B
So
one
of
the
things
we
looked
at
was
things
that
we
thought
would
be
part
would
really
fill
those
needs
in
the
first
four
primary
duties,
so
the
pollinator
yard,
of
course,.
A
It
says
that,
as
that
shade
tree
is
responsible
for
reviewing
the
applications.
A
B
Put
it
on
the
permit
application
was
so
so
that
you
guys
have
that
opportunity
to
do
that.
I
really
think,
and
especially
since
you,
you
guys,
are
managing
the
pollinator
friendly
plants
you're,
that
list
of
pollinator
friendly
plants
that
list
of
of
invasive
and
noxious
weeds
that
really
does
fit
well
into
what
your
duties
and
responsibilities
are.
B
The
second
one
is
the
celebration
tree
permit,
review
and
recommendation
again,
there's
nothing
in
the
codified
ordinance
that
requires
shade
tree
to
approve
that,
but
we
sure
would
like
your
recommendation
and
review
on
on
what
type
of
trees
are
going
to
be
planted.
How
big
should
the
tree
be?
Do
you
want
to
whip
it,
or
do
you
want
a
three
inch
where
they're
located.
D
I
sent
out
there's
a
pamphlet
from
the
program
that
was
used
to
kind
of
codify
the
the
celebration
tree
program
billings.
I
think
that
it
works
really
well.
It
goes
through
this
they're,
that's
just
we
can
get
more,
but
the
arts,
parks
and
recreation
would
be
the
people
who
would
say
where
we
want
them
planted,
but
it's
a
really
nice
program.
It
also
has
the
trees
at
425
dollars
and
that
something
that
goes
back
to
discussing
what
we
talked
about
before
wow.
So.
B
No
not
at
this
point,
I'm
I'm
a
little
bit
behind
in
the
amount
of
staff
that
I
have
I'm
short
staffed
and
I
have
been
for
a
while.
So
we
have
it
available,
but
it's
a
fillable
pdf
I'll,
get
it
up
as
soon
as
I've
got
as
soon
as
I
can
so.
E
A
F
B
Like
a
memorial
tree
program,
where
you
would
have
a
tree
that
you
would
purchase
in
a
plaque
and
then
the
city
would
plant
it
in
a
location,
that's
that
works
for
it
works
for
everybody
and
then
we'll
maintain
that
tree
for
three
years,
water
it
and
make
sure
that
it's
that
it
stays
healthy
for
the
first
three
years
that
gets
planted.
B
B
The
city,
the
way
the
code's
written
the
city
can
choose,
the
city
chooses
where
the
location
is,
and
we
want
to
do
that
for
a
couple
of
reasons,
because
we'll
make
sure
it's
on
a
piece
of
property
that
we
have
and
will
continue
to
have.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I've
only
had
one
request
for
a
celebration
tree
and
they
wanted
to
put
it
at
the
ball
fields
which
this
or
the
soccer
fields.
The
city
doesn't
own,
that
they
just
lease
that
property
and
they
don't
know
the
future
of
those
soccer
fields.
B
So
you
could
put
it
out
there
and
then
years
from
now,
because
the
tree
can
grow
last
100
years
or
more
and
that
the
city
may
not
have
access
to
that
property
in
the
future.
So
we
want
to
know
we
want
to
have
control
over
where
those
should
go
and
we
think
the
best
people
to
do
that
would
be
our
arts
park
and
rec
folks.
A
A
A
C
F
I
would
not
codify,
I
mean
that's
a
perfect
example
of
not
putting
specific
stuff
in
ordinance
that
what
I
would
say
is
you
know
in
your
program:
cost
is
determined
by
the
city
service
director
or
the
parks
director
based
on
market.
You
know
conditions.
A
D
That
that
be
in
title,
one.
F
A
little
more
so
belfry
did
theirs
a
lot
more
informally
they
it's
it's
just.
It
was
not
codified
at
all.
The
mayor
decided
he
people
had
given
donated
for
years.
You
know
they
wanted
a
tree
for
so-and-so
and
they
would
plant
it
in
the
park,
but
they
felt
like
they
wanted
to
have
a
little
bit
more
control
over
the
type
of
tree
and
and
where
they
were
planted.
So
they
do
have
a
program.
It's
it's.
You
know
the.
I
forget
how
it's
worded,
but
it's
with
just
three
or
four
sentences.
F
You
know
request
is
made
the
mayor
and
this
council
refer
to
the
tree
commission
for
guidance
on
the
species
and
and.
F
And
you
know
the
decision
is
made
by.
I
think
it's
service
director
there
or
maybe
it's
maybe
it's
the
mayor
now.
A
B
A
D
B
D
A
B
So
the
last
two
pieces
in
here
of
my
what
I
call
uncodified
but
recommended
shade
tree
commission
duties
a
little
controversial,
but
I
think
it
fits
well
into
the
other
duties
and
responsibilities.
Commission
is
the
arbor
day
celebration
proclamation
and
the
tree
city,
usa,
application
and
submission.
A
D
B
You
yeah
thanks,
so
currently
we
recently
codified
the
ordinances
to
actually
have
an
amount
associated
with
the
trees
that
are
being
banked
now.
This
is
one
thing
where
this
the
shade
tree
commission
has
completed
control
over
whether
or
not
to
allow
the
banking
of
trees.
If
the
shade
tree
commission
decides
to
do
that,
then
the
auditor
has
set
aside
a
fund
specific
for
this.
B
A
Actually
goes
into
several
different
funds,
or
it
has
several
potential
uses.
Yes,
and
when
I
spoke
to
the
mayor,
he
wanted
to
make
it
absolutely
clear
to
shade
tree
commission
that
it
is
not
our
money
and
that
we
would
have
to
ask
for
a
separate
budget.
B
Yeah,
so
the
the
safety
service
director
has
control
over
that
budget
where
that
money
goes
once
it
becomes
banked
and
it
can,
as
I
said,
it
can
be
used
for
planning
maintaining,
but
it
really
should
be
part
of
some
of
the
something
have
to
do
with
trees.
A
B
So
there
currently
is
no
funds
in
the
in
the
tree
bank,
because
the
the
commission
has
hasn't,
since
that
new
legislation
came
into
effect,
has
not
has
not
banked
any
trees
to
to
date.
I
will
tell
you
that
there
is
a
agreement
between
the
city
of
athens
and
menards
that
was
originally
370.
B
A
They
did
the
trees
were
wonderful
and
they
were
very
helpful,
getting
it
to
places.
The
issue
that
we
have
is
it's
great
to
have
333.
B
A
Left
right,
but
if
you
think
about
it,
it
costs
approximately
150
dollars
each
to
plant
them
and
to
maintain
them
for
the
first
year,
and
so
we
definitely
want
to
use
the.
B
B
A
A
Well,
the
city
decides
they
want
to
use
it
exactly,
and
so
we
have
to
work
with
the
city
to
ensure
that
when
they
do
get
money
into
the
tree
bank
that
that
money
is
used
to
plant
the
trees
that
we
have
from
an
art-
and
I
talked
to
the
mayor
last
year
when
we
shade
tree
asked
me
to
talk
to
him
and
to
andrew
and
andrew
said
that
he
thought
we
would
have
an
additional
five
thousand
dollars
this
year
to
plant
trees,
not
from
the
tree
bank,
but
just
money
that
the
city
was
going
to
set
aside
for
us.
A
Right,
but
the
problem
is,
is
that
we
can't
put
an
official
budget
forward
now
for
this
year.
We're
past
that
deadline
and
the
only
thing
that
we
could
negotiate
post-facto
was
to
say
andrew.
Can
you
pull
five
thousand
dollars
out
of
your
already
allocated
budget
for
trees
and
the
mayor
said
make
it
so?
That's
all.
I
can
tell
you
so
yeah
moving
forward.
We
need
a
real
budget,
but
it
has
to
be
put
in.
D
I
think
that
we
could
probably
look
at
potential.
If
the
mayor
has
budgeted
five
thousand
dollars
for
this,
then
we
should
have
it
in
our
line
now,
instead
of
it
being
floating
around,
because
otherwise
it
will
better.
A
So
on
a
verbal
we
have
from
andrew
and
steve
that
we
have
five
thousand
dollars
for
planting
trees,.
D
A
D
There
are
outstanding
issues
with
some
property
owners.
I
think,
would
be
fair
to.
B
That
would
not
be
up
to
me
if
the
if
the
city
wants
to
do
that,
that
would
be.
A
No,
I'm
just
I'm
sorry,
I'm
just
trying
to
clarify.
I
didn't
know
that
there
were
any
outstanding
issues
with
property
owners.
What
city
right
away
that
would
pertain
to
the
tree
bank.
D
There
are
other
issues
of
people
not
doing
trees
that
we
would
like
to
discuss
future
in
the
future.
So,
okay.
G
D
Well,
I
I
think
that
is
one
issue
that
we've
had,
because
most
of
us
are
pretty
new
to
it
and
that
there's
you
know,
like
best
management
practices,
that
we
don't
necessarily
know
are
part
of
the
tree
maintenance
program
and
we
don't
know
whether
there's
a
tree
plant
out
there
and
those
other
things.
D
I
think
that
is
it's
a
point
that
we
can
kind
of
say
things
are
kind
of
up
in
the
air
with
covet
and
everything
and
that
we
can
go
on
and
make
sure
that
we're
doing
all
the
other
things
that
may
be
kind
of
loose
out
there
does
that
make
sense.
No,
no,
not
at
all,
it's
a
good.
It's
a
good
point
when
you
have
a
lot
of
of
energy
and
newness
on
a
board
to
do
and
look
and
make
sure
everything
is
up
to
snuff,
yeah
yep.
Okay,
I
agree.
D
Thank
you
so
anything
else.
There,
okay,
there's
the
proposed
arbor
day
plan
and
arbor
day
and
athens
beautification
day
and
all
those
sort
of
programs
that
was
brought
forward.
I
think
this
is
a
good
time
to
introduce
mary
mary
reed.
D
Well,
oh,
I
will
we'll
talk
that
about
so,
as
we
know,
our
day
is
coming
up.
We
do,
I
think,
want
to
do
something
for
our
day.
I
got
this
in
the.
D
Public
relations
sort
of
things,
so
I
put
out
a
project
that
would
include
a
formal
tree
planting
in
honor
of
certain
groups
that
we
can
talk
about.
I
suggested
people
in
healthcare
and
the
the
victims
of
covet
and
black
lives
matter
for.
A
C
F
We
are
there.
Well,
let
me
tell
you
when
arbor
day
arbor
day
is
any
day
the
the
your
mayor
proclaims
it
to
be:
oh
goody,
yeah,
so
athens.
You
know
there
have
been
years
where
everybody
forgot
about
it
until,
like
november
29th
and
seriously
like.
F
E
F
Well,
there
is
there:
the
national
arbor
day
is
always
the
last
friday
in
eight
in
april,
at
least
for
this
part
of
the
country,
but
you
guys
can
proclaim
it
and
do
it
anytime.
You
want
oh.
C
D
I'm
working
together
right,
and
so
what
what
I
would
like
to
propose
is
that
in
the
sometime
in
the
month
of
april,
with
that,
the
other
celebrations
that
we
are
doing
in
april,
meaning
athens,
beautification
day,
which
mary's
worked
with
before
and
the
earth
day
celebrations
that
we
can
weave
trees
and
celebration
of
trees
with
all
those
other
different
projects.
So
one
of
the
projects
is
doing
the
the
official
tree
planning
for
for
like
a
memorial
celebration
of
groups
in
that
deserve
attention
and
love
in
our
community.
D
The
hearts
we
love.
We
love
our
trees
program,
which
we've
talked
about
and
should
be
fairly
cheap
and
then
something
that
would
help
to
get
a
lot
more
people
involved
and
that's
what
mary's
going
to
talk
about
her
group
is
the
arbor
day
committee
and
they've
been
around
for
a
number
of
years.
We've
been
doing
work
on
and
off
with
them
through
athena
verification
days
program
and
everything.
So
there
is
a
committee,
it
is
a
committee.
That's
not
a
city
committee
correct
we're!
Not
how
about
that.
G
E
G
G
We
have
a
mission
to
plant
trees
with
public
benefit
in
athens
and
we
reformed
in
2017
and
so
far
we've
planted
fewer
than
100
street
trees
or
trees,
mostly
street
trees.
Some
elsewhere
like
in
some
of
the
cemeteries
we've
given
away
about
450
trees,
wow
and
I
can
guarantee
none
of
those
trees
cost
anywhere
near
150
dollars
to
plant.
G
Are
big
trees,
yeah
and
I'm
kind
of
reintroducing
us,
because
in
2017,
some
other
members
of
the
committee
came
to
just
introduce
ourselves
to
the
shade
tree
commission,
but
if
anything,
maybe
maybe
one
of
you
was
on
the
commission
at
the
time?
So
you
you
know,
you've
had
some
turnovers,
so
I'm
here
to
reintroduce
ourselves
and
to
let
you
know
that
we
would
love
to
kind
of
formalize.
G
If
we
can
our
relationship
with
the
athens
shade
tree
commission,
we
have
been
really
doing
a
lot
of
the
pieces
with
getting
trees
planted.
We've
been
raising
money.
We've
been
working
with
the
city
planting
by
planting
to
get
approval
to
plant
the
the
pandemic,
of
course,
really
crushed
some
of
our
plants
to
do
some
tree
plantings,
but
other
things
have
just
have
have
made
it
go
more
slowly
then.
I
think
it
has
to
if
we
do
organize
a
little
bit
better
together.
G
If
we
could
do
something
like
a
master
canopy
plan,
I
just
named
it
that
and
really
look
at
city-wide
for
starters
of
where
we
want
to
see
some
trees
planted.
That
would
be
great.
We
wouldn't
be
doing
that
meal.
We
wouldn't
be
doing
piecemeal
approvals
and
discussions
for
every
time
we
want
to
plant
a
tree
and.
G
Well
so
far,
we've
gotten
some
money
from
casa
we
got
in
on
their
tip
program.
We
actually
do
have
501c3
status.
Our
fiscal
sponsor
is
the
athens
near
northside,
neighborhood
association.
G
F
Yeah
but
the
arbor
day
foundation
does
I
mean
there
are
periodically
grant
opportunities
that
come
up.
G
G
Could
I
just
say
one
more
thing:
yeah,
which
is
I
mentioned:
we've
planted
fewer
than
100
trees.
So
far
in
several
years,
I
think
if
we
can
really
get
it
together
to
get
like
the
master
plan
get
the
tree
bank
going,
we
could
do
more,
like
100
trees
in
a
year.
If
we
could
just
really
concentrate
our
efforts
on
the
spring
planting
the
fall
planting,
getting
the
volunteers
showing
them
how
to
plant
a
tree
and
you're
right
about
the
size.
You
know
the
smaller
the
easier.
G
G
D
Memorandum
of
understanding
to
kind
of
incorporate
their
mission
and
their
energy
into
our
arbor
day
celebrations.
So
that
not
only
do
we
do
a
you
know,
a
celebration
tree
celebration,
but
we
also
do
all
the
other
things
behind
it,
meaning
giving
trees
away
to
people
teaching
people
how
to.
A
G
A
I
would
actually
love
to
have
it
both
ways
if
possible,
but
the
person
does
have
to
live
within
the
city.
A
That
would
be
brilliant
because
I
think
that
when
we
had
this
whole
discussion
about
tree
city,
usa
and
arbor
day
and
everybody
was
feeling
overwhelmed
and
we
were
like
well,
let's
expand
our
group.
Well.
If
we
can
extend
our
group
with
experts
in
a
particular
area
where
we
would
like
to
expand
that
really
helps
us
right
right,
so
yay
so.
D
We
will
work
on
a
memorandum,
at
least
okay
and
then.
D
Out
how
little
liaison
between
the
two
groups,
sure
of
maybe
we're
seeing
one
of
their
members?
Okay,
so
coercing,
is
fine.
G
A
Well,
as
part
of
this
arbor
day,
I
mean
there
are
obviously
ideal
times
to
plant
trees
right
and
well
we're
in
one
right
now
we're
just
coming
out
of
it.
You
know
it's
soon.
It's
going
to
get
a
little
bit
late
early
spring
right
is
one
of
the
times
where
you
can
plant
trees,
but
it's
not
good
and
then
the
fall.
D
And
so
something
that
that
we
talked
earlier
about
that
would
work
into
this
arbor
day.
Celebration
is
that
they
have
access
to
a
lot
of
seedlings
and
that
they
can
go
and
donate
them
to
people
at
the
farmer's
market,
with
information
how
to
plant
them
with
the
heart
that
we
will
have
and
that
way
we
get
our
information
out
their
information
out,
maybe
some
bodies
of
trees
and
some
trees,
and
so
that
that
would
be
one
more
part
of
our
arbor
day
celebration.
G
A
I,
I
think,
that's
brilliant,
I'm
just
wondering.
Could
we
add
on
to
it
right
one?
The
issue
that
we
have
in
planting
the
trees
that
we
have
this
spring
is
the
budget
for
planting
the
trees?
Okay
and
the
city
has
made
the
decision
that
they
are
going
to
contract
out
that
work,
which
costs
money
to
the
city
right
yeah.
But
if
you
said
oh
well,
we
have
volunteers
right
who
could
help
plant
trees
right
today
and
we
could
actually
try
and
do
that
in
the
spring
to
me,
but
like
the
ideal
relationship.
But
here's.
A
Okay,
so
I'm
talking
about
west
state
street,
which
is
where
they
want
to
plant.
If
we
had
volunteers
who
said
on
athens
beautification
day,
we
could
plant
30
trees
at
west
state
street,
which
is
already
an
approved
place,
then
all
we
would
have
to
pay.
The
external
contractor
is
to
maintain
the
trees
through
the
summer
and
because
they're
all
co-located,
that
price
isn't
actually
that
high.
So
instead
of
150
dollars
per
tree,
it
would
probably
be
50
per
trade.
We
would
save
a
hundred.
A
D
I
I
think
that
for
this
this
year,
because
april
is
just
a
couple
weeks
away,
yeah
that
partnering
with
you
and
doing
the
whips
just
this
year
makes
sense
yeah.
You
know,
and
also
making
a
really
nice
brochure
that
we
can
give
out
that
talks
about
trees
in
the
city
when
they
do
whips
and
or
how
to
take
care
of
it.
And
then
you
can
give
us
hearts
and
then
we
can
plant
soil.
E
F
F
I
do
need
to
say
something,
though,
because
this
is
part
of
being
a
tree
city,
usa
document
what
you
do
so
somebody
when
you,
when
nan,
when
mary's
out
there
giving
the
trees
away
at
the
farmers
market.
Somebody
needs
to
take
a
picture
of
her
doing
that.
We.
D
Thank
you
so
does
that
that
I
think
that
sort
of
cooperation
does
that
make
sense.
Of
course,.
D
Vote
on
it.
Well,
I
think,
let's
let
me
and
mary
work
on
a
memorandum
of
understanding
so
that
we
can
nail
everything
out,
so
we
have
no
different.
D
D
D
So
I'm
going
to
assume
that,
after
our
discussion
with
mary,
that
the
other
projects
that
have
been
identified
are
are
good
to
go
for
arbor
day
with
the
tree
plant,
the
ceremonial
tree
planting
in
the
hearts.
We
talked
about
the
hearts,
cutting
them
out
or
we
cannot
talk
about.
A
D
I
was,
I
was
homework
with
doing
a
simple,
arbor
day
celebration,
so
I
thought
that
we
could
celebrate
with
maybe
some
of
the
large
trees
from
menards
because
they
are
and
plant
a
celebration
tree.
Trees
in
honor
of
covid
people.
People
who
are
victims
of
covet
are
healthcare
people
who
are
heroes
and
black
lives
matter,
because
those
are
the
things
that
have
influenced
and
have
impacted
our
community
so
much,
and
I
think
it
would
be
a
really
good
way
of
bringing
community
members
together.
D
Budget
would
we,
I
don't
know
that
was
the
tbd
that
I
put
on
that
proposal.
I
you
know
whether
it's
at
west
state
street
or
something
I
think
that
yeah.
A
D
More
trees
can
go
in
yes,
so
we
can
have
a
ceremony
and
the
mayor
can
do
it
and
I
I
do
how
many
well
I
don't
know,
I'm
that
is.
D
A
B
A
E
D
A
A
Know
I
think
that,
but
then
we
also
have
to
decide
if
we
have
five
thousand
dollars
in
our
budget.
Are
we
willing
to
release
some
of
the
money
that
we
have
in
order
to
plant
those
trees,
and
I
would
be
in
favor
of
it?
I
would
say
yes
as
long
as
it
goes
to
west
state
street,
which
is
the
mayor's
priority
for
this
year
for
planting.
So
if
you
would
like,
I
am
happy
to
interface
with
dave
to
get
the
trees.
A
We
have
20
something
spots
available:
they're
all
on
west
state
street
and
they're
along
the
new
parking
areas,
so
the
on
west
state
street
by
the
ballpark
they
put
in
a
whole
bunch
of
extended
parking
and
they
want
the
trees
to
be
on
the
north
side
of
the
parking.
Is
that
correct
david?
I
believe
it's
the
north
side
of
the
parking
is
there
someplace?
There
could
be
a
little
grove
it's.
It
will
be
a
tree
of
a
line
of
trees
because
they
want
the
the
parking
spaces
to
be
shaded
and
they.
C
A
C
What
I
was
thinking
if
we
could
have
a
little
grove
sort
of
for
the
cobia
kind
of
stuff
and
then
plant
those,
maybe
in
the
fall,
then
when
it's
easier
to
take
care
of
them
along
the
you
know,
maybe
five
trees
for
this
for
this
project
that
we're
talking
about
was
for
april.
Well,
we
only
got
much
time.
A
Yeah
I
mean
you,
you
could
do
five
trees,
but
I
guess
I
would
ask
why
not
just
part,
why
don't
you
just
group
them
in
one
area
of
the
parking
area
I
mean
putting
them
in
a
group
putting
them
in
the
ballpark
area
in
a
grove
in
the
middle
of.
Nowhere
is
not
what
the
city's
going
to
want
to
do,
because
they
want
access
sites.
D
E
D
D
Maybe
what
we
need
to
do
is
emphasize
what
mary's
group
is
going
to
do
with
giving
out
trees
and
everything,
and
we
can
do
the
heart.
We
love
trees
as
the
other
part
of
it,
and
we
can
identify
in
the
fall
better
places
to
to
plant
a
ceremonial
tree.
Okay,
I.
E
D
And
that
would
be
fine.
I
think
that
those
two
projects
together
could
be
a
very
good
yeah
start
with
our
baby
steps
with
the
arbor
day.
Sort
of
thing.
Okay
sounds
good.
Okay,
so
we'll
do
the
hearts,
which
is
the
one
that
I
really
cared
about.
It.
D
E
D
Them
and
go
from
there.
I
don't
think
that's
going
to
be
very
much
money.
D
From
okay,
this
idea
is,
you
know
you
have
tags
that
people
get
that
says
how
much
the
tree
is
worth
yeah
well,
athens
is
different
and
we
can
give
out
hurts.
This
is
why
we
love
our
trees.
People
can
hang
them
from
different.
I
have
a
tree
that
I
know
how
I'm
going
to
hang
it.
It
has
the
most
amazing
spiral
trunk
that
you
would
see
in
all
of
athens
and
I'm
going
to
hang
it
on
there.
D
It
says
it's
a
piece
of
art
and
I
think
that
going
across
athens
with
the
arbor
day
celebration
with
doing
market
and
all
the
earth
day
and
athens
beautification
day,
we
can
get
people
out
to
really
think
about
why
they
love
our
trees
and.
F
Yeah
we
talked
about
like
the
price
tags
that,
like
you
know,
you
see
on
the
mall
in
washington
dc.
You.
D
D
I
think
people
treat
trees
with
a
heart
on
it,
a
whole
lot
better
than
a
tree
without
a
heart,
so
everybody
needs
to
live
a
heart
so
well
we
can
anna
and
I
will
talk
about
what
we
talked
about
before
with
the
hearts
and
see
how
much
it
costs
and
then
I'll
I'll
spend
send
it
around
so
okay
make.
A
Sense
it
it
it
does.
I
just
don't
want
you
to
have
to
pay
for
it
and
shade
tree
doesn't
have
a
budget
so.
D
D
Okay,
yep
last
thing
is
the
nomo
a
that
we
have
talked
about.
We
talked
about
last
meeting.
This
is
something
that
the
b
city
usa
puts
forward.
We
are
a
b
city,
usa
city,
so
I'd
like
to
open
it
up
whether
we
want
to
do
and
recommend
a
nommo
may
idea
here
is
for
pollinators,
especially
ones
that
are
migrating
and
such,
and
they
do
even
these
these
migrate,
some
of
the
most
important
resources
for
them
in
the
spring
are
things
like
dandelions
and
stuff.
D
They
come
up
very
early
and
it
would
help
if
people
didn't
mow
to
allow
for
those
sort
of
things
to
be
accessed
by
pollinators.
It's
a
program
that
is
done
by
many
communities
across
the
states,
and
so
would
I
know
that
it
is
a
late
position
on
this
one,
because
it's
almost
me
not
really.
C
D
D
If
we
recommended
it
tonight,
we
can
go
on
on
monday
through
council
and
through
committee.
So
so
here
are.
A
My
thoughts
there
certainly
is
good
research
out
there.
That
says
that
when
you
do
not
mow,
you
do
get
more
pollinators
and,
and
that's
a
good
thing.
C
A
Actually,
for
us,
that's
not
true
that
would
be
in
april,
not
in
may
and
the
pollinators
they're
time
is
actually
april
for
us
because
of
where
we
are
in
the
country.
A
It
would
it
would,
but
but
here's
here's
the
situation
too
is
is
that
the
city
gets
hundreds
of
complaints
when
people
do
not
vote
and
it
wouldn't
be
as
bad
april
would
not
be
as
bad
as
may
may.
A
The
issue
is:
is
that
that's
the
most
growth
that
you
get
for
grasses
and
you
can
easily
get
eight
inches,
and
so
what
happens
is
that
you
know
you
allow
your
grass
to
grow,
and
then
people
go
back
in
june
and
try
and
mow
the
grass,
which
is
almost
impossible
to
whack
at
something
that's
eight
to
ten
inches
and
then
subsequently,
you
get
more
complaints
because
people
actually
like
you,
know
what
they've
done
and
honestly.
I
would
actually
like
to
see
people
less.
A
E
A
And
the
pollinator
garden
application
is
part
of
that,
but
I
think
that
we
have
to
be
careful
if
we
institute
something
that
will
cause
code
more
issues.
We
don't
want
people.
A
A
A
E
F
To
okay,
we
are
the
tree
commission
right,
so
I
I
love
this.
We
all
agree
that
the
yes,
the
world
has
too
much
lawn
I'd,
love
to
shrink
lawns,
you
know
creating
nomo
areas
are
great,
but
as
a
tree
commission,
you
guys,
you
know,
you
dave,
laying
out
really
good
focus
for
us.
This
first
year
focus
on
those
easy
things
and
then
you'll
be
able
to
like
you
know,
do
the
do
have
some
successes.
You
know
like.
E
A
But
maybe
a
way
to
compromise
is,
if
we're
doing
the
pollinator
gardens,
if
we're
doing
the
certifications
for
the
pollinator
gardens,
that's
when
we
can
give
them
the
education
about
mowing
yeah,
that's
where
I
think
it
belongs,
because
that
is
going
to
be
part
of
our
mandate.
But
I
I
agree:
yeah.
C
D
A
C
A
C
D
Okay,
any
other
questions,
so
I
think
from
this
evening
we're
going
to
go
forward
with
the
arbor
day
program
that
mary
described
our
hearts
program.
We're
going
to
look
at
the
the
nomo
for
next
year
for
no
yeah.
We
go
april.
D
And
I
think
that
with
the
pollinator
program
that
there's
some
other
things
that
we
can
do
that
we
need
to
look
at
in
the
future
about
publication
and
pr.
We,
the.

Okay,
so
it's
what
I
found
is
that
it's
really
hard
to
do
before
write
everything
on
the
form,
so
I
was
thinking
maybe
having
take
boxes
having
boxes
to
take
well,
I
thought
maybe
they
could
do
it
online.
A
D

And
well,
and
some
of
there
are
some
other
program
projects
that
have
really
nice
forms,
and
so
maybe
we
can
look
at
those
so
yeah.
Okay,
thank
you.
Any
other
information
or
agenda
items.

October,
I
think
it
was
before
the
pandemic
yeah
yeah
october
26th,
the
athens
county,
athens
city
poet,
laureate,
had
written
a
thing
about
the
tree
commission
and
trees.
It
was
very
nice
and
I
saved
it
or
I
thought
I'd
throw
it
away
actually
because
I
told
roxanna
I'd,
bring
it
in
and
show
it
to
her,
and
I
couldn't
find
it.
But
I
found
it
again
and
I
thought
maybe,
when
things
are
settled
down,
we
can
wait.
Maybe
till
till
april.
