AGENDA ITEM
AGENDA TITLE: Check Presentation by Tree Lodi
MEETING DATE: December 21, 2016
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Director
Q-2
RECOMMENDED ACTION That Mayor Kuehne receive a check presented by Tree Lodi.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Tree Lodi, a local nonprofit committed to preserving and enhancing
our urban forest, provides many benefits to our park system through
education, volunteerism, tree planting and maintenance, which
includes pruning, fertilizing and watering.
Tree Lodi, with the assistance of the Parks Division and Eagle Scout candidate Logan Roper, planted 24
trees in the area of the new boat launching facilities on December 10, replacing those dead, dying and
diseased trees that were removed as part of the project.
Tree Lodi will present Mayor Kuehne with a check that represents the cost of the new trees. Tree Lodi
will provide three years of maintenance to ensure the trees thrive and provide aesthetic and
environmental benefits to the community for years to come.
FISCAL IMPACT: Tree Lodi's donation eliminates the need of PRCS' Parks Division to
pay for and maintain replacement trees.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
