Title

Adopt Resolution #17-04-085 Proclaiming April 28, 2017 as Arbor Day and the Month of May as Arbor May

Purpose/Background:

The City of Ramsey has been recognized as a Tree City USA for the twenty-fifth consecutive year (for 2016 activities). One of the standards necessary to obtain this designation is the adoption of an Arbor Day proclamation. At its root, Arbor Day is a day to encourage and celebrate the planting of trees. In Minnesota, Arbor Day is officially observed on the last Friday of April, which this year, is April 28.  The State of Minnesota also recognizes the month of May as Arbor Month.  The attached resolution serves as the City's official observance of Arbor Day on April 28, 2017 and also recognizes May as Arbor Month.

Funding Source:

This case is being handled as part of staff's regular duties.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends adopting Resolution #17-04-085 proclaiming April 28, 2017 as Arbor Day and the month of May as Arbor Month.

Action:

Motion to adopt Resolution #17-04-085 proclaiming April 28, 2017 as Arbor Day and the month of May as Arbor Month.
