RESOLUTION NO. 04-023
A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING APRIL 30, 2004, AS ARBOR DAY
WHEREAS, trees use up excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and turn it into
life-giving oxygen; and
WHEREAS, trees help conserve energy; that is, three properly planted trees
around a home can cut air conditioning bills by ten to fifteen percent; and
WHEREAS, trees turn urban "heat islands" into cool and comfortable "oasis",
making the concrete jungle livable for all of us.
NOW, THERE BE IT RESOLVED by the Shorewood City Council that the
City of Shorewood hereby proclaims Friday, April 30, 2004, as the 132nd anniversary
celebration of Arbor Day in the City of Shorewood, and
FURTHER, that the Shorewood City Council encourages all residents of
Shorewood to celebrate Arbor Day by planting a tree and thereby hoping to ensure a
green Shorewood and Minnesota in decades to come.
ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SHOREWOOD,
this 22nd day of March, 2004.
Woody Love, Mayor
Craig W. Dawson, City Administrator
