Tree Symposium
Scott Roederer and Barb Boyer Buck presented several ideas for the 2010 Tree
Symposium including:
• The Saturday, May 8, date was agreed upon by a quorum of Tree Board
members via email; this date will be confirmed and a "save the date" notice will
be sent to previous vendors and interested parties. A Saturday date was
suggested by the feedback forms at this year's event.
• All expenses would be at the same rate as last year, as per the quote from
Holiday Inn; however, if the entire ballroom (instead of half) is used, the price
will be $500 ($200 more than last year). This, too, was agreed upon by a
quorum of Tree Board members via email previous to this meeting.
• Barb suggested raising the price for vendors to $150 per electric table; and
$35 (our cost) to the agency tables to cover the increase in costs for AV for the
larger space. This decision will have to wait until a quorum is present for a
vote.
• Scott R. presented a tentative schedule; he and Sandy Burns will contact
potential speakers/organizations for a contact list.
• Barb will create a "Call for Vendors" brochures and a "Call for Speakers"
brochure for review and approval at next month's Tree Board meeting.
Arboretum Expenditures
Russ Franklin presented a list of possible species and prices to plant for screening along
Highway 36, as discussed at last month's meeting. The plantings will commence as soon
as possible, as per last month's Tree Board decision.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 a.m.
NEXT MEETING:
Friday, November 6, 2009, at 9 a.m.
