Tree City

The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL BOA
June 8

During Alderman comments, Vic introduced a potential initiative for the city, "Tree City USA".  The Arbor Day Foundation certifies cities that meet certain requirements to become a designated "Tree City".  He handed out packets to the BOA and Mayor for consideration at the next BOA meeting.  Apparently one of the criteria is spending a certain amount per capita for trees in the City...an amount that might easily be met by the Park Board's master plan for trees in the city parks.  I'll try to recap the requirements once I get a chance to review.
