FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 2017 THE BAKER COUNTY PRESS — 9 Local & Entertainment Tree grant applications available at City Hall Street Tree Grant ap- plications will be accepted by the Baker City Public Works Department April 3, 2017 through June l6, 2017. Grant funds are available only to plant street trees (trees within the public right-of-way). Applications will be accepted until approved grant applications meet or exceed the grant funds available. If the approved grant applications exceed the funds available, grant awards will be determined by the date/time applica- tion is received (priority order). In the case of two grant applications being received at the same time, a lottery will be held to determine the grant recipient. Upon staff confi rming the grant application is complete, grant applica- tions will be reviewed by The the Baker City Tree Board. The Tree Board may approve the application, reject it (due to existing site constraints not being able to accommodate a new tree—utility locations, adjacent trees or structures not providing suffi cient room/light to encourage a new tree to grow, etc.), or request further information from the grant applicant. Based upon the Tree Board’s fi ndings, City staff will issue the fi nal grant determination. Trees must be planted and itemized receipts must be submitted to the Public Works Department by no later than June 23, 2017. This is a reimbursable grant, meaning the initial cost of the tree purchase and/or tree planting must be paid for by the grant recipient. Grant recipients must provide a grant match by providing the fi rst $25 towards the cost of each tree. Grant dollars will not be dispersed until the tree project is complete and the fi nal site inspection refl ects that the tree plant- ing project meets the grant requirements. There are a myriad of ad- ditional requirements and considerations listed on the actual grant application, and applicants are encour- aged to read them in detail. The Anthony Silvers Street Tree Trust Fund funds these grants. Since 2014 the interest accrued on the Silvers’ Trust has been utilized to plant 25 street trees at the Baker County Fairground prop- erty and to expand 11 tree wells and plant 11 new street trees Questions?
