<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">I am sad that I got kicked off the call yesterday. I'm wondering if we can't use an existing bench to avoid the cost, plus it would probably be in a public place and meets the city code. That would drop the
cost and perhaps we could afford more then one station. Annie</p>

Our message from the safety services director. He did not mention the plant rescue, but I am assuming that it goes with approval of the solarization. Will let you know as soon as we hear from Bill Farnsworth, chair of lands, buildings, and parks. I also messaged
Geoff Schenkel about looking for alternate sites, so there should not be a problem.</div>

with some expertise in habitat plantings. Both recommend solarizing the area as a means of getting rid of invasive plants and turfgrass. If you are not familiar with the concept, it involves covering areas with black plastic to allow the sun's heat to kill
the vegetation underneath, a process that takes several months. The advantages of solarization are no soil disturbance and no need for herbicides. Killing the roots and seeds of invasive plants will also reduce later maintenance, which is always a concern.</span></p>

<div>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">However, because the process is time-consuming and slows considerably in the winter, it should ideally be started as soon as possible.
The timeline for the three readings of the resolution would likely take us into December, which could push planting time into the summer if we get a hard winter. Might it be possible to lay the plastic before then?</span></p>

<p class="x_x_MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:black">Also, the slope already contains many desirable plants that we would like to retain for the pollinator plantings. Once they go
dormant, recognizing and rescuing them would be much more difficult. Would it be possible for a team of volunteers to go ahead and remove the plants for later use?</span></p>
