Expense Approvals
- We voted and approved payment allocation of up to $100 for (4) new Adopt -A -Spot signs
- We voted and approved payment allocation up to $150 for new barrels for Painted Barrell Program
2020 Cleanup
- We're still weighing a number of options for Fall Cleanup in September/October
- We discussed coming up with a few different scenarios depending on what Phase we're in
- The major concern is safety but other considerations need to resolved:
o How to properly recognize donors
o How do we not impact future donations
o Whether or not to do T-Shirts
o Is it a single day event or a rolling (ie, week/weekend) event with start/end date
o Trash pickup

• Need to add to Keep Mansfield Beautiful site. If not on main page then on the A-A-S section.
• We also need to make it prominent on the Town of Mansfield website and searchable
• Communicating with current and lapsed participants is also important. Particularly when we
begin to engage new participants into this Program. We need to understand who is actively
maintaining their streets.
• Could possibly incorporate a `We Noticed' for participants to provide recognition and incentive
Flower Barrels
• We approved the purchase of 10 additional barrels
• Mike Healy will be coordinating this
We Noticed
• We discussed a possible different approach of noticing business. Instead of it being based
solely on aesthetics, maybe we're noticing how a business is bringing something positive
during C-19 (ie. Jimmy's Pub outside dining)
Straw Initiative
• We approved endorsement of Lauren Morley's initiative for her Girl Scout Gold Award
• She is trying to push plastic straws and stirrers to be by request vs. automatic
Adopt -A -Highway
• Mike H. to explore grant options for wild flowers for KMB's 140 Adopt -A -Spot
