  Memorial Tree Fund Implementation and Management Proposal
  6/28/01
  The City of Holdrege regularly receives requests from residents who want to plant trees in city parks as memorials to loved ones. It is desirable to make memorial tree fund requests an orderly process for the benefit of all parties involved. A proposed process is outlined below.
  I. Establish memorial fund account (this account could be managed by the Phelps County Community Foundation, the City of Holdrege, or some other entity)
  II. Create memorial tree request form (Holdrege Tree Board)
  III. Anyone who wishes to have a memorial tree planted will fill out a request form and return it to the city, along with a donation check.
  IV. Donations will be deposited in the memorial fund account.
  V. The Holdrege Tree Board will meet in February of each year to review all submitted request forms. During this meeting the board will:
  A. Compile a list of the number and species of trees to be ordered for spring planting
  B. Indicate on park site plans the locations where trees will be planted and for whom each tree will serve as memorial
  C. Select vendor(s) to order and plant trees
  VI. Bill for trees will be paid from memorial account funds
  VII. City crews or private contractors will plant trees each spring at locations indicated on maps
