Committee voted 5-0 to go ahead with this project. Total cost will be Town of Mansfield will pay $9500
and KMB will pay $9300. For now, we will remit $6,000, with rest coming after we raise more funds.
Guerrini will spray to kill the vegetation and then plant by end of October.
4. Downtown Flower Barrels (Pat & Nancy)
Fall mum planting will take place on Saturday, 9/14. The summer flowers faded out this year, so moving
up the fall planting makes sense. The committee discussed the possibility of paying a landscape company
to water and fertilize the flowers next summer. We will contact local landscapers.

The woman who maintains the spot near the Winthrop Street parking lot (Nchanted Forest) has agreed to
give up her spot so that it can be incorporated into the Route 106 Embankment project. New signs have
been received for the two new brownie sites and the Park Street site. Pat will ask DPW to install.

raise another $8,000.

release and get in touch with WS Development.
