Consent Agenda (see additional documents) (<3 mins)

  1. Approve Past Meeting Minutes
  2. Approve March General Meeting Agenda (see attached)
  3. Approve request from Tugman Tuggers to apply to OECE for materials reimbursement; request follows:

“I (John Ostrom) hereby request that The Friends of Tugman, an active SEN Committee, initiate a funding request from OECE (Office of Equity and Community Engagement) for the purpose of reimbursement of a committee member who recently purchased a 12.5’ x 432’ (600 sq. yards.) roll of woven stabilization fabric from H.D. Fowler Company in Eugene. The cost of this roll is $400. If full reimbursement is not possible, then partial reimbursement will be pursued. This roll of fabric will be used in the Friends of Tugman’s ongoing wet prairie restoration project in the north end of Tugman Park. The fabric is used to tarp over prepared ground that will eventually be planted back with native plant species appropriate to a wet prairie habitat. The fabric tarping helps to kill off the existing vegetation, mainly composed of non-native and invasive grasses and forbs, thereby allowing a more suitable environment for newly planted native species to better survive and spread. These plots may need to be tarped over for 1-2 yrs.”
