Good afternoon, welcome to community country meeting.

Uh, because I have two proclamations of that we've said.

The first one is for Albert Day, whereas in 1873 to both to the Nebraska Battle Agriculture, and a special day besides the planting of food, and whereas this holiday called Adel Day was first involved with the planting of more than a million trees in Basca and Avon Day is now observed water nation in the world.

And there's two produced the invasion of our classic capture by wind and water, that feeding and cooling path mode the temperature, clean the air, produce oxygen, and provide habitat for wildlife, and we'll see our renewable resource to produce paper, red cell phones, flood file houses and countless other wood product.

And there's two enough to increase property values, and host the economic locality of business areas and beautiful community, and as the city of country has been recognized as a clear fitting USO for 30 years by the Aden Bay Foundation, and whereas the city of Country has also been in the shipment of a clear sitting left working one from the Adel Bay Foundation.

And I owe to all citizens to support efforts and cut that clear and woodland.

And we tell us a little bit more about our free commission and after that.

And this is Clayton Landback, who is the cleaning of our community.

Um committed to employers and commitment to the case of the US program.

So you are anyone you know, uh, you think would be a good member, thank you as thank you for this.

Uh city speaking inventory.

The purpose of doing the street inventory is to get data and both can be five right of the way.

It's that space between the code and both sidewan.

But it's also clear from the plan for the people.

We need to know how many trees we have, what kinds of trees are in a city right of ways, where they are growing, what kind of conducting they are in, and if there's any infrastructure conflicts.

The first point is that in those 72 blocks, we have 623 trees passed in the right of wave.

The results confirm some things that we already suspected, but we have way too many red maple trees and way too many maples in general.

And the cigar maple was the third.

So what is all this mean?

Why should we pay?

The industry standards recommends that most species like red maple should be more than 10% of the trees, and the inventory said that we are 16% with just the red maple.

And we have 82% of our street trees is some sort of maple.

So what is this matter?

If a third of our state trees are of one, of one genus, or decades ago.

Since we had free land with beautiful own trees, but when they were placed by Decan disease, they had to be cut down.

We have the now removing our trees because of the involved or communities have learned a hard and overplanting many of the same species.

In the interest of optimal and top in the urban forests, we will be planting many different kinds of things on our city states so that we never suffer another devastating loss of hundreds of trees of a single species again.

One of the things that was surprising was that 75 trees were the USBO first services invasive species list.

Worse yet, the ornamental power between bed repair and polar repair was the first most common thing.

This clean is so invasive, but communities like Curnable are given people in centers that cut down the ornamental pair.

It is causing such an environmental disaster that ONI has banned itself after 2027.

It is recommended in the inventory that all of those invasive trees be removed.

Each tree is also assessed for conditioning of the 623 trees in the survey.

A simple motoring around the creed could have saved it from lawnmower and weed filling damage, which is prevalent in many trees.

The inventory also looked at sidewalk concepts with trees.

Of the 623 trees surveyed, 33 were feedback in the sidewalk.

In our personal observation of biggest inventory, the cause of many of the conflicts was due to a large tree in a right of way that was in the causing the stand but the free roots to protect the sidewalk.

There are guidelines of what mature size can go into what work as a right of way, and the city is using that in considering tree types and location.

But the inventory, we found that we are way outside the recommendation for aid distribution of trees.

The inventory said that we have far too few young trees and overabundance of material trees.

So we need to get planning.

And we have some great opportunities coming up to get those things in the ground.

We are as cool to the USO, we have the opportunity to work with Federal Illinois, a nonprofit revenue who partners with other entities to admit the grant and work with eligible communities to build up the communities.

Council is eligible to apply for a grant from the USDA first service for a professional, citywide state grant employee.

We also qualify for a grant for pre-removal and planting in the area basically between the weather and trust state.

I have had conversations with the police for the INA coordinator to discuss the services they can provide and the steps that the city needs to take the capture these grants.

They are very eager to work with us.

Another opportunity to get comes into the ground will happen this fall was contacted by the Arab Foundation decided that a business intense the financing of the labor to the area meeting please.

Not each state was selected for this food planting event though the exact black have not been hope that this is just the start of many other such business city partnership.

We will continue a property banking program with residents can put a decree and have it planted on the right of way in front of their house.

This year we're looking to past we have ordered a specific number of each two and when we fold out that is it.

This year we found to get the list public about the residents and put the two they want and then we will order then.

So if 15 people want a people in three then by 15 people.

The city multi forester the long game of bringing our free diversity in the balance and to oversee the maintenance and health of the trees hopefully the first the foresting will help us tax that we have only just now become aware of perhaps we will know of some more economic development of ecosystem and community bonus and having an urban forestry will be a better investment for the city.

Thank you very much for the time and of course we began work today will be in touch with you guys very soon.

Very good away and our second proclamation is for preservation week whereas National Preservation week was first proposed in 1972 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation as an opportunity create local and state preservation progress to the national effort for the mutual benefits of both and as President Ricardo can sign a joint congression resolution on May 1st 1973 designating the week of mass with itself 1973 as the first national preservation week and whereas in 2005 the National Historic Preservation extended national preservation week to national preservation month, allowing for the month of May to use to raise awareness about the importance of preservation and where the National Tech Service was preservation is a conversation with our past about our future providing opportunities to examine the importance of our history and how to preserve it and as the Quinty Preservation Commission has led the way in promoting preservation efforts throughout the city since the Commission was established by the Quincy City Council on May 3rd 1982 and whereas the rich history of the City of Queen is evident will be designated five areas as local historic districts more than 100 properties as a local landmarks and multiple entries in the National Register of Historic Places.

Present this pattern to all women and produce some other people who do.

And that was what we missed in the four.

And we have actually the five of the stuff, but we also have more than 2600 companies and other things.

But we'd also like to remind you that historically not only um to do a fair system and contribute to the overall five months and the second, but also served as a food opening.
