Fairview Park tree committee meets monthly, open to public | The Locally Times
Fairview Park's Shade Tree Advisory Committee maintains a regular monthly meeting schedule, providing a consistent forum for community engagement in local tree planting initiatives.
Fairview Park's Shade Tree Advisory Committee (STAC) holds monthly meetings on the second Thursday of each month at 6:00 P.M. in the Dunson Room at City Hall. While the meeting schedule and location are specified, the provided record does not explicitly state that these meetings are open to the public. This follows a February 2026 report by The Locally Times regarding the city's search for a STAC volunteer. The December 31, 2028 record, which was posted on February 12, 2026, indicated the committee was accepting applications for a vacancy appointment through December 31, 2028. Interested individuals submitted applications to Clerk of Council Liz Westbrooks by February 27, 2026, at 4:00 PM. The discrepancy between the record's stated date of December 31, 2028, and its posting date of February 12, 2026, obscures the document's original issuance and ongoing relevance. ## Committee Engagement and Transparency The consistent meeting schedule offers a pathway for residents to contribute to Fairview Park's tree canopy efforts. However, the current status of the STAC vacancy remains undisclosed. Records do not indicate if the position was filled or who was appointed. Additionally, specific agendas, minutes, or attendance records for past or upcoming STAC meetings are not publicly available in the provided documentation, making it difficult to assess the committee's activities and public participation. Residents interested in the committee's work or seeking to attend meetings can monitor official city channels for explicit confirmation of public access and for the release of meeting agendas and minutes.
