Board of Commissioners Friday Update
Wednesday, December 23, 2009
Merry Christmas!
ITEM 1. TOWN FACILITIES CLOSED / HOURS ADJUSTED FOR THE HOLIDAYS
All town facilities will be closed from Thursday, December 24th through Sunday, December 27th for the Christmas holiday.
Since there are no events scheduled for the nights of Wednesday, December 23rd, Wednesday December 30th and Thursday December 31st, the Wendell Community Center will close at 5:00 p.m. on those nights.
ITEM 2. SUCCESS WITH CAPITAL TREE AWARD PROGRAM
Tree Board Chairman Warren Boyette reports that the town’s two applications to the Capital Tree Award program were successful, as were two private applications from Wendell. The Capital Trees Program recognizes the largest, rarest, oldest and prettiest trees of various species.
As you recall, based on the Tree Board’s recommendation, the Town Board approved two applications to this program at its August 24, 2009 meeting. The Tree Board nominated a large oak tree (near the batting cage area at the large ballfield), as well as a grove of pecan trees (on the former Clark property). Mr. Boyette is an arborist and prepared the town’s nomination applications.
The Capital Tree Award program is administered by the Triangle J Council of Governments. Presentation of these awards will be scheduled for a future Town Board meeting (probably in February).
ITEM 3. OTHER
The town acquired some surplus office furniture (chairs and cabinets) today free of charge today from Square D.
