LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE/BUTTERFLY GARDEN: Dan Keys reported that the Butterfly Garden had been cleaned up and replanted by Public Service Department crews. Amy Kutell brought information to the board regarding an individual who specializes in the creation and upkeep of butterfly gardens. A short discussion was held on whether his services could be used or not.
Amy Kutell asked if she should pursue finding a group of students to 'adopt' the sculptures on the Library grounds for the purpose of their care and maintenance. The impact of liability issues might make this undesirable. It was noted that the sculptures had been sandblasted and painted by the Public Works Department and the Public Service Department had placed a landscape gravel over the concrete bases.
