Note: Chairman Wieland briefly dropped off the meeting at 9:29am.
Quorum was maintained.
Pauline consulted with Margolis on fruit tree pricing. Per Parks' input, the
species distribution should be about 40 pear trees, 14 apples, and 3
cherries. The 1.75" caliper apples specified in the contract will be
available. However, the pears are not available as 1.75" caliper trees as
in the contract. The options are 1.5" and 2.5" caliper. Because these
deviate from contract specifications, a change order must be authorized
in order to proceed.
The committee discussed, and they agreed to the 1.5" pears.
Financial Overview - Richard Wieland (original position)
Chairman Wieland motioned to amend the agenda by moving this
topic to the end of the meeting. Member Curtis seconded. Motion
was approved unanimously.
Hikone Cherry Project - Jamie Pauline
Pauline reached out to Torey Madura from CAN.
- Torey is fine with either meeting option (sub-quorum or special
meeting).
- Planting on the east side of Hikone Road is acceptable.
- She would like cherries from Hikone, Japan, if possible.
The committee prefers the sub-quorum meeting option. Chairman
Wieland and Members Nybell and Curtis volunteered to attend the site
visit with Torey.
Arbor Day Plantings - Richard Wieland
- The applicant would like the planting to take place on April 15th with the
help of student volunteers from Pioneer High School.
- Some members expressed concern about tree damage due to
proximity to Main-Stadium intersection. The idea of moving the plantings
a little further south was suggested.
- Due to the late delivery of the proposal application, the committee could
not vote on the proposal today. The committee decided to hold a special
meeting on March 12th at 7:00pm to continue its consideration.
Note: Chairman Wieland returned to the meeting at 10:01am. Member
