Committee is currently working on getting bids for trees.
Trees purchased with UCF funds will be planted in the park.
Trees purchased with USFS funds will be planted along Main St.
We are in the process of getting approval from USFS to follow
planting diagram prepared for Main Street instead of planting all
Norway Maples.
> 23 Draft a Tree Ordinance:
Guidelines and copies of ordinances from other cities have been
presented to committee for review.
3) Plan an `Arbor Day" celebration:
Plant these new trees involving the youth of the community and
other interested citizens in cooperation with the Tree Committee.
Kathy has spoke with Brent Bird, Principal of Iona Elementary,
about involving the students by bringing awareness of trees and
Arbor Day into the classroom. He was very supportive and plans to
present the information to the faculty at their next staff meeting.
• Considering a poster/essay contest with prizes awarded.
• Applied for $150.00 Arbor Day Grant to help with expenses.
• Would like to mark each tree planted with a plaque stating
the species of tree and year planted.
• Use old fire truck for watering new trees.
• Circulate a flyer for "Heritage Trees".
Questions:
• *Does the City have the above funds totaling $2492.00 stated
in the budget? Is the committee cleared to make necessary
purchases?
• Are any areas along Main Street not ready for planting -due to
drainage problems, etc.?
• Once the bidding process is complete who places the order?
• Does the Council want to review the order first?
• Who owns the property (soccer field) next to the school?

ANNOUNCING
ARBOR DAY GRANT PROGRAM — 2003
The Idaho Department of Lands, Avista Utilities, Idaho Power and Utah
Power are happy to announce the 2003 Grant Program to promote the
observance of ARBOR DAY in Idaho. With pleasure we have joined together to
help encourage an appreciation for healthy, community forests through this grant
program.
Arbor Day is a celebration of trees and the many benefits they provide. Playing an
important role in the management of your community's trees, we are proud —
through combined effort —to offer grants to cities celebrating Arbor Day. By working
together we can help assure the proper tree is always selected when planting near
utility lines and that trees are cared for throughout the community. As sponsors, we
strongly believe that education regarding trees and their care is a top priority in the
prevention of tree/utility conflicts. It is our hope these grants will provide an
opportunity for communities to celebrate the importance of trees through tree
planting and other tree related educational activities.
Fifty-five grants of $150 each are available to support Arbor Day
celebrations in Idaho's communities. For the first time, IDL is joined by Idaho's
three investor -owned utility companies: Utah Power, Avista Utilities, and Idaho
Power in sponsoring this grant program. The funds come from the citizen -supported
Idaho Community Forestry Trust Account and matching contributions by these utility
companies. The grant funds may be used to purchase trees, refreshments, Arbor Day
tee shirts, handouts, or other items to enhance the celebration in your community.
Applications must be on file in the Coeur d'Alene office of the Idaho
Department of Lands by 4:30 p.m. on March 19, 2003. They may be delivered
in person, mailed or faxed. Because the time frame for this program is so tight, please
make sure the application is clearly and completely filled out. Unclear or incomplete
applications will not be accepted. All application materials are also available at the
Community Forestry web page: www.idahocities.org (click on city trees).
Fifty-five communities will be selected through a lottery drawing during the week of
March 20'. All applicants will be noted the week of March 24th.
This is a reimbursement grant, which means that the grantee cities must submit
copies of paid invoices, with check numbers, in the amount of $150 to receive
payment for the grant. The legislation that established the Idaho Community
Forestry Trust Account requires a 35% match in cash or in -kind donation by the
grantee. The match amount for this grant will be $52.50. Records to substantiate a
minimum of $52.50 must be kept on file. The match records will be requested from

calendars and many Idaho communities choose to celebrate Arbor Day at different
times.

Whereas, In 1872, j. Sterling Morton Proposed to the Nebraska 5oard of Agriculture that a
special day be set aside for the planting of trees, and
Whereas, the holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting of more than a million
trees in Nebraska, and
Whereas, Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world, and
Whereas, trees can reduce the erosion of our precious topsoil by wind and water, lower our
heating and cooling costs, moderate the temperature, clean the air, produce oxygen and
provide habitat for wildlife, and
Whereas, trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for our fires
and countless other wood products, and
Whereas, trees in our city increase property values, enhance the economic vitality of business
areas, and beautify our community, and
Whereas, trees, wherever they are planted, are a source of joy and spiritual renewal,
NOW THEREFORE,
Mayor of the City of do hereby proclaim
as Arbor Day in the City of and
I urge all citizens to celebrate Arbor Day and to support efforts to protect our trees and woodlands,
and
Further, I urge all citizens to plant and care for trees to gladden the heart and promote the well-
being of this and future generations.
