One of the standards necessary to obtain this designation is the adoption of an Arbor Day proclamation. <br />At its roots, Arbor Day is a day to encourage and celebrate the planting of trees. In Minnesota, Arbor Day is <br />officially observed on the last Friday of April, which this year, is April 29. The attached resolution serves as the <br />City's official observance of Arbor Day on April 29, 2016 and also recognizes May as Arbor Month. In honor of <br />Arbor Day, City Staff are planning a tree planting event, in coordination with a trail project in the Brookfield <br />neighborhood, for May 12, 2016 with a fall back date of May 16, 2016 if needed due to inclement weather. <br />Funding Source: <br />This case is being handled as part of staffs regular duties. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends adopting Resolution #16-04-078 proclaiming April 29, 2016 as Arbor Day and the month of <br />May as Arbor Month. <br />Action: <br />Motion to adopt Resolution #16-04-078 proclaiming April 29, 2016 as Arbor Day and the month of May as Arbor <br />Month. <br />Resolution #16-04-078: Arbor Day Proclamation <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Tim Gladhill Tim Gladhill 04/21/2016 03:23 PM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 04/21/2016 03:25 PM <br />Form Started By: Chris Anderson Started On: 04/18/2016 09:15 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 04/21/2016 <br />
