The Beautification Committee held a regular meeting on June 20, 2005.  Members present were Mary Ann Powers, Lou Ann Bowen, and James Mack.  Barbara Rushmore also attended.

The meeting was called to order at 12:40 pm.

Barbara Rushmore updated the committee on the activities of Trees For Town.  She has planted replacement trees at the Skateboard Park on Jerome Smith Road, after several of the evergreens died over the winter.  She has also planted trees at Waterfront Park.  Robin Evans, Beautification Committee member, has been added as a signer to the Trees For Town bank account, as a safety measure, so in the unlikely event of Barbara not being able to sign on the account.   If something should ever happen to Barbara, the funds from this account would go into the Beautification Committee account. 

Lou Ann moved we pay to replace the beech tree (an honorary tree for Ron Robin and his partner Ed, given to celebrate their commitment ceremony several years ago), with a copper beech or weeping beech tree of similar size.  James will ask Jennifer to get the tree, and DPW to plant it.   Approved unanimously.

Mary Ann moved we reimburse James $560.00 for flowers bought for Lopes Square and in front of the post office.  Approved unanimously.

James moved we purchase a 6' bench from the Gift Fund in honor of Garden Renovations Crew (the check having been given by Jennifer Crooks to the committee for this purpose.)   Approved unanimously.

Mary Ann moved to reimburse James for $181.00 paid to Nameplate Technology for tree tags placed on memorial trees at Lopes Square.

James moved we pay $188.00 to Bayberry Gardens for annuals planted by Nathan Herrick at traffic islands.  Approved unanimously.

Meeting adjourned at 1:20 pm.

Respectively submitted by James Mack, chairman
