GOCO Grant
Mike Richardson and Scott Roederer will present the GOCO grant plan to the Rec District on
Feb. 15. Resolution from Town Board will be signed on February 22. It was determined to
commit the entire $8,000 out of the Tree Board funding to meet the matching grant requirement;
if the grant is not awarded, the $8,000 will be allocated to tree plantings.
Budget
Scott Zum it would be better to have a landscape design for Scott Ponds before any additional
plantings are done there Scott Roederer said that if we don't get the GOCO grant, we should
look at using the $8,000 for a landscape design for that area. It was decided to use the 2011
uncommitted funds of $5,000 for plantings at the Event Garden at the Museum.
