Approval of Minutes <br />The minutes of the previous 2 meetings were unanimously approved as distributed. <br />Old Open Business <br />Historical Museum <br />Susan brought the plan for the museum. Chris will make copies for every board member. <br />The hardscape is in place. The sidewalk is different than planned. <br />C. New Business <br />Arboretum Comprehensive Plan <br />Susan developed and distributed a short history on HFAB's involvement with the <br />Arboretum. What is clear is that this subject has been approached and dropped <br />repeatedly since 1999. On going issues include parking (now rectified), access (bridge <br />now in place), signage (mixed review), irrigation (Chris believes us to be in decent shape <br />with overhead irrigation), and trails. <br />Chris wishes not to mow very much however neighbors are used to a more manicured <br />grass area — it's primarily an educational issue. <br />At one point a grant request was written for $70,000 to provide funding for the <br />development of a master plan. Zones were originally planned for the arboretum. We <br />need to develop an outline of what we want the plan to provide. <br />
