May 4 2026 - Conway Tree Board

The City of Conway Tree Board held a meeting on May 4, 2026, primarily discussing ongoing urban forestry projects, grant management, and community outreach efforts. Key procurement-related topics included the management of an urban forestry grant with discussions on budget status, reimbursement processes, and remaining funds for signage and tree purchases. The board also planned tree giveaways, including the Bradford Pear program, and discussed ordering trees by August for a November event. Additionally, they addressed sponsorship outreach strategies to support Arbor Day activities and prize procurement for a poster contest. The board considered administrative improvements such as maintaining contact lists and coordinating volunteer efforts. No formal votes on contracts or budget allocations were recorded, but the group approved taking June and July off from meetings and discussed board member term lengths and replacements, which could impact future procurement continuity.
