Parks & Public Landscaping Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />DATE <br />Page 4 of 4 <br />meetings and to involve PPLAB when contributions are ready to <br />move forward. <br />PPLAB continued discussion of Work Plan and priorities: <br />• Shelly offered support for the Medians, HOA entryways, Cottonwood Park <br />and Bee City. <br />• Deb suggested that the Chamber is looking to do a "garden -oriented" <br />event in the spring and that Bee City would be a good opportunity. <br />• John would like to continue to collaborate with OSAB with joint meeting <br />sessions. Bee City offers many collaboration opportunities such as <br />schools, Chamber, various Parks functional groups (OSAB, Sustainability <br />Advisory Board), Farmers Market, etc. Median and Entryway landscaping <br />falls under pollinator/Bee City priorities. <br />• Patricia offered to reach out to BVSD schools. <br />• Ellen suggested that piggybacking off of the Chamber event may give us <br />time to produce literature/handouts to raise awareness. <br />• Laurie expressed support for the Arboretum: landscape maintenance and <br />tree replacement can support the Bee City initiative. Abby: There is a plan <br />to start replacing Fire damaged and other trees. John: Apples, plum, <br />crabapple, Lindens are fantastic for early pollinators. Spireas (blue mist, <br />dark night) fill in an Autumn gap for pollinators. <br />• Patricia: How would the City begin to evaluate where/how to build out <br />needs for the community? (for example tennis courts) Abby: We would <br />need to go to Council for budget and hire a consultant to scout location, <br />etc. with PPLAB, RAB, etc. input. <br />• Shannon: Median Renovation/Playground and Cottonwood may be <br />priorities. How would we like to fit in priorities from other boards? Patricia: <br />continue to advocate, find areas of overlap. <br />• Ellen: Park Signage: Replacement of a few of the worst -looking signs <br />would really help make the parks/walking areas more inviting. John <br />suggested taking pictures of the worst looking signs, Ellen and Shelly <br />offered to submit photos. PPLAB will send any additional photos to Ellen. <br />Stephen: include list and possible cost estimates in meeting minutes once <br />available. <br />Discussion Items for Next Meeting <br />A.
