Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes July 26, 2022 <br />Page 2 <br />Ms. Pike explained they would plant a variety of pollinator friendly plants so there would be <br />different things blooming at different times of the season. She listed some of the flowers they were <br />considering. <br />Ms. Wagner said they would have to cut sod but no trees, there is currently no plan to put a fence <br />around the garden. <br />Committee Member Poelzer suggested they research what plants might be deer and rabbit <br />resistant. <br />Chair Hinton asked if they would maintain the garden. <br />Ms. Wagner responded that they would maintain it for a couple of years. The hope is that it will <br />fill in and not need much weeding. She said it would be nice to get wood chips or mulch from the <br />city. <br />Committee Member Dietz said he could give them some guidance from what has been done at <br />Floral Park if they would like to meet him there. <br />Committee Member Kelliher asked what will happen to the garden maintenance once the Girl <br />Scouts are no longer taking care of it. <br />Ms. Wagner replied that the hope is that it will be done installing this fall and after that it would <br />be community service hours by the Girl Scouts. <br />Chair Hinton explained that PTRC is an advisory committee to the Council. <br />Council Liaison Scott said it would probably be coordinated with Parks and Rec. <br />Ms. Wagner said she would like guidance as to where they might like the garden to be placed, she <br />thought it would be good to add on to an existing garden. <br />Staff Liaison Vaughan said he will bring it up to the Public Works Director and Assistant Public <br />Works Director to get their thoughts and next steps. <br />Council Liaison Scott asked if he could get a project summary and photos so they can get <br />recognition from the Council. <br />A motion was made by Committee Member Kelliher and seconded by Committee Member <br />Poelzer to acknowledge the pollinator project at Johanna Marsh. Motion passed <br />unanimously. <br />The committee requested before and after photos and thanked the Scouts for their proposal.
