6. General Business & Reports
6.1. Report from Beautification Working Group and Tillsonburg Horticultural Society – C. Nagy reported
that the Tillsonburg Horticultural Society plan for commercial beautification will be discussed at their February meeting and will be presented to business owners in March with implementation in April.
The BIA plan to have pianos in main street for Canada 150 will not likely proceed.
6.2. Budget – Compared current contract for beautification work to the Town doing the work itself – would cost less and the Town would have more control. Proposal for Oxford Street parkette was $8,000.
Council likely not interested in funding this. However, Courtland Gardens offered to do the work for
$5,000. Enhanced beautification for whole town (36 parks, main street and tree planting areas) would cost $84,500 which would include temporary staff, purchase of urns, materials and the
requirement for a one ton truck. Council is still deliberating on the budget with a possibility for
approval of a one year trial.
