Items Discussed
Tree Ordinance
- Deanne Dietel made some corrections to the revisions
after which the board unanimously approved the
revisions
Weed Ordinance Revisions
The board met and discussed the sample ordinance that
Schnobrich had compiled. After lengthy discussion and
numerous revisions the board came up with a unanimous final
draft that will allow [ in limited and managed sites ] the addition
of alternative landscapes in the city. This revision will also allow
the City of Hutchinson to be in compliance with its own
ordinance and will allow the formation of retention ponds and
drainage ditches which in the past were not actually in
compliance with the existing ordinance.

The year 2000 Arbor Day celebration is being planned with

Jake will attend the next meeting of board to present the outline
Meeting was adjourned at 7:15 PM
