Ten members were present.
The paperwork for 501 c 3 status was submitted on April 14, 2010.
Mayor Micki Harnois suggested that Rockford start a Public Development Authority. The initial steps are to 1) obtain the go-ahead from the Town Council and 2)appoint a Board of Directors which would include an attorney, realtor, banker, several business owners and interested citizens. This will be discussed in more detail at a later meeting.
Susan Gallagher has volunteered to be the photographer for the Horizons Team.
The Rockford Beautification Project: 1) identify the spaces that need beautification, 2) list the spaces, 3) present the list to the businesses, organizations or groups, and 4) have each select one space apiece. It can be an "Adopt a Space" or "Foster a Space" for a certain period of time (i.e. one year).
Community Gardens: There are seeds available. Linda and Keith Wigen have starts for flowers and vegetables. The gardens have been plowed but need to be tilled to break up the clods of dirt. Linda Wigen presented her plan for the area in front of the park restrooms. There was a discussion regarding the use of cherry tone timber in that it warps. The choice was due to the cost of materials, the cherry tone timber being the least expensive. It was mentioned that we need flower pots. There was a suggestion that we attempt to make them out of newspaper to have biodegradable ones.
The Blood Mobile is scheduled for Rockford on May 10th from 1:30-3:30pm.
