<br />Horticultural & Forestry Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />September 3, 2009 <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />Tree Protection-Information on handout needs to be reviewed by HFAB. <br />Suggestion was made to edit in order to shorten length of handout, or attach an <br />outline or "at-a-glance" page to the front of the handout, to summarize key points. <br /> <br />Cemetery Expansion-Scraping and grading will take place second week in <br />September; sod will be installed by the end of October; and a row of cedar trees <br />will be removed. <br /> <br />Arboretum-Funds for improvements (eg electricity to site) will not be available <br />due to budget cuts. Boulder County Youth Corps availability will be reduced by <br />50% for 2010. Regarding the city budget for trees, which is also reduced for <br />2010, the question was raised about what percentage of trees purchased each <br />year are replacements vs new plantings. <br /> <br />Website development-Suggestion was made to add to HFAB's section <br />information about fruit tree maintenance, and sustainable agriculture in general. <br /> <br />Discussion items for Next Meeting on Oct. 1, 2009- Tree protection <br />guidelines; and updates on cemetery and median progress. <br /> <br />Adjourn-The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 pm. <br />
