SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING MAYOR TO SUBMIT AN URBAN FORESTRY GRANT
DATE: February 22, 1978
Attached is a resolution authorizing the submission of an application
to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources for a grant to undertake
the development of an Urban Forestry Program. The application has been
put together jointly by Park Department and Community Development staffs.
The grant will be used to survey all the existing street trees.
Data will be collected on species and tree conditions. Such an inventory
has never been taken. We feel this information will be extremely useful
for a workable tree planting program.
Also included is a copy of the proposed budget as well as further
explaination of the State's Urban Forestry Program. The grant is for
50 percent of the costs.
Should you have questions concerning this request, please advise us.
We respectfully request favorable consideration of this resolution.
