Environmental Policy Board (EPB) 5. 1. <br />Meeting Date: 12/10/2012 <br />By: Chris Anderson, Community <br />Development <br />Title: <br />Tree Sale Discussion <br />Information <br />Background: <br />At the November meeting, the Board confirmed their preference to proceed with the Tree Sale program as a stand <br />alone event for 2013. Staff was asked to contact the vendor that was utilized last year for pricing and species and <br />report back to the Board. Additionally, the Board formed a Tree Sale Subcommittee that was going to undertake <br />various tasks associated with the Tree Sale event, such as marketing efforts, sponsorship opportunities and <br />reviewing/creating voucher/order form, and report back to the Board as a whole as needed. <br />Observations: <br />Staff has received the pricing and species information from Bailey Nurseries, Inc and has attached a sample of <br />possible offerings. Also, as was discussed with the Board, the Tree Sale event will again be in the form of pre -sale <br />only and Staff has identified a way to incorporate the pick-up of trees by the public as part of the Spring <br />Recycling Day event. Attached to the case is an exhibit that shows the Public Works Campus (site of the Recycling <br />Day events), typical traffic flow pattern, and an alternate route for those that would be picking up trees. Finally, for <br />the benefit of the Subcommittee, Staff has attached the order form that has been used in the newsletter the past <br />several years. <br />Recommendation: <br />The Tree Sale Subcommittee should be prepared to provide the Board an update on their meeting(s) from <br />November and the Board as a whole should be prepared to continue discussions, if necessary, on the Tree Sale <br />event. Staff is interested in the Board's thoughts on including shrubs in the Tree Sale offering, as they are available <br />through Bailey Nurseries. <br />EPB Action: <br />Based on discussion. <br />Sample Tree/Shrub Offerings <br />Site Layout for Tree Sale Pick Up <br />2012 Order Form <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Chris Anderson (Originator) Chris Anderson 12/05/2012 10:01 AM <br />Form Started By: Chris Anderson Started On: 12/03/2012 12:11 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 12/05/2012 <br />
