Pete and Penny Gardner were there on behalf of the park board to discuss the planting of trees at the park. The council would like a plan of where the trees will be planted. It was also suggested having a map with the listing of the trees that memorialize an individual. The purpose of the map would let others know where a certain memorial tree is and also to make sure they are not destroyed in years to come. A decision will be made at a later date after meeting with the park board.
