Committee members reviewed individual 'wish lists' and agreed they would prioritize new and replacement trees, keep holiday‑lights spending at about last year’s level (committee estimates ranged from $3,000 to $3,500) and cover printing costs for community events.
Members debated whether to pool funds for new trees versus keeping allocations (Arbor Day, Tree City USA) separate; they asked staff to compute a single round number for tree replacement that accounts for other small line items (printing, awards, signs). The committee agreed to revisit exact allocations after staff returns with arithmetic and with the committee members (Marv, Mike Corey) present to advise.
