The meeting began with a walk of the grounds around the City
& County Building to look at the trees and note the consideration
given to each one in the landscape plans. There were a number
of concerns brought out in regards to some of the trees
tentatively scheduled for removal. There was also much concern
for the Norway Maples at the west entrance being in danger of
damage or destruction by the construction crews. During the
three years of reconstruction, there is question as to how
the trees are going to be watered and cared for properly.
At 7: 00 p.m. the meeting reconvened in room 414 to see the
presentation by Jan Striefel of Land Design. The pictures
showed the original layout of the grounds and walkways used as
a basis for the reconstruction plans.
Appreciation was expressed to Jan Striefel and Burtch Beall for
attending the Board Meeting and answering questions about the
plans for Washington Square.
Kathie Anderson and JoAnne Milner were excused to attend
another meeting commitment.

Board members were asked to write down their individual
` priorities regarding the design of the City & County grounds
to present for consideration at the August meeting.
Bob Burke, Jennifer Harrington, and anyone else interested,
will review the 40% plans to study the proposed design and
give a short presentation to the Board at the next meeting.
The pruning contract should be started as soon as possible
for the benefit of the trees and their visual affect at the
time the project is completed. There is still great concern
about finding people to do the tree pruning properly. There
needs to be some way to qualify prospective contractors to
insure a proper job.
The August 5th meeting will be strictly devoted to the
City & County Building/Washington Square Project.
Meeting adjourned at 8: 55 p.m. 1g��'
