3. Botanical Garden Monthly Report: Walt Filers, Board of
Directors
Eilers discussed the report. Phase I is complete. The Reading
Railroad, an outdoor reading area, is
under construction. It is a $20,000 gift from the Kiwanis Club. The
Plans and Property Committee
is working with a consulting company to develop a master plan for
the remaining ninety acres of the leasehold.
There are many activities on the 2009 Garden Calendar, including
nationally known speaker, Earth Day
activities, and the spring plant sale.
Edmonston said she appreciates Eilers coming to the meeting
every month to give an update.
Mauritson commented that they are doing a great job. He also
mentioned that Cindi Cope, who has
planted around 26,000 tulip bulbs for various projects in
Fayetteville, should be called "Johnny Tulipbulb".
4. PRAB 2009 Orientation Date: Connie Edmonston, Parks &
Recreation
Director
Please bring your calendar so we can select a date for the annual
PRAB Orientation. We need to allow
a time frame of approximately 2 hours prior to our February 2nd
PRAB monthly meeting.
A two hour lunch meeting was discussed. Edmonston suggested
having it at the library, or Parks and
Recreation, or the Botanical Garden.
Meldrum says Wednesdays are bad for him.
It was decided to have the orientation on January 20, 2009 from 11:30
to 1:30 at the Botanical Gardens.
5. Regional Park Update
Edmonston said there was no meeting for the Regional Park in
December.
Jumper commented that the consultants are getting Phase I ready to
submit to the Planning Division.
Mauritson asked if the City was doing a survey.
Jumper said yes, but it wasn't ready.
6. Other Business
Troy Lawrence from Troop 142 presented a project for a trail at
Lake Sequoyah. He and his fellow workers
would start at the single land bridge, cross the road, and end near
the picnic table. They would clear cut the
trail in a time frame of two to three weeks. He said he needs help
with the crosswalk for walkers and bikers.
He has already talked to Jeff Coles, who was supportive about the
issue.
Edmonston said she thought that part of Lake Sequoyah is in the
county.
Colwell said it was in the City limits.
Jumper said she would verify that.
Lawrence said he also needs help with Mr. Spencer's pond,
because it's very froggy. There is a crevice
close to the pond that could be hazardous. He would like to put in a
pipe and fill it in. The crevice is about ten feet deep.
Mauritson suggested using phone poles.
Humphry suggested installing a bridge.
Colwell said that where it's feasible, fences need to be removed.
Fences also need to be on the property line.
Lawrence said that he wants to start the project the last week in
January.
Colwell told him to be sure and keep track of his hours.
PRAB Motion: Mauritson motioned to accept the Lake Sequoyah
trail proposal. Meldrum seconded it.
Motion passed 7-0-0 by voice vote.
Wade will be leading a full moon hike on Rookery Trail.
Biendara said Rookery Trail has a geocache now.
Meinecke asked if there was a rookery there.
Colwell said yes, and would point it out on the hike.
ADDENDUM TO AGENDA:
Naming of Unnamed Tributary to Mud Creek
C. Jones said the name Niokaska Creek is an Osage Tribal term
that means "Little Ones (or children)
of the Middle Waters".
Colwell says due to "political pressure" from the fourth graders of
Root Elementary, he will bow to it.
Edmonston said that it's not a done deal. It still has to pass the City
Council's approval.
7. Adjournment

LOOKING BACKWARD - 2008 IN REVIEW
The Botanical Gardens' initial year of operation was a challenging and growing
experience. We had to discover and invent many things. Our successes include:
• Construction of all infrastructure, gardens and features in Garden Phase 1A is
complete. This includes the Ball Greenhouse and features and gardens. The
nine completed Gardens and Totemeier Center represent a leasehold
improvement value of over$2.18 million.
• More than 30,000 people visited the Garden, including visitors from at thirty-
seven states and five countries.
• More than 4000 students from five area school districts participated in the Earth
Day and Butterfly Day events.
• The staff and Plans/Properties Committee developed an operations manual,
wrote policies on rental, catering, photography, liquor and guest etiquette.
• 165 volunteers donated 8,474 hours to support the Garden. This service is
valued at $319,000.
• The Reading Railroad, a $20,000 gift of the Kiwanis, is under construction
adjacent to the Children's Garden. This outdoor reading area should be
available in spring 2009.
• The Garden hosted a summer musical series, two gala fundraisers, Shakespeare
production, ballet recital, Christmas Farmers' Market, educational series, cocktail
series and 28 weddings.
• 2008 membership hit a record level of 1245 households. Nearly 1800 individuals,
families, and businesses donated to the Garden in 2008.
• BGSO has recently launched three initiatives to achieve financial sustainability:
Giving Circles campaign for annual or monthly giving, Chamber leader
membership campaign for business members and an end-of-the year appeal.
• The Board completed a revamp and update of the 1994 corporate filings and our
1993 bylaws. All governance documents are now current.
• The www.bgozarks.org website and monthly electronic newsletter are well
received and popular. Over 2000 readers each month check out BGO and its
digital newsletter.

Fayetteville Community Garden Coalition (FCGC)
Initiated weekly meetings January 10, 2009
Objectives/Concepts:
• Develop network of garden "communities" that learn and grow as one.
• Sustainable/Organic: emphasize the use of renewable resources and the
conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future
generations.
• Each garden community will develop their garden and garden activities.
Each community will continually define its own goals, (personal use,
donation of surplus food, plant-a-row, education, fundraising,
entrepreneurship, etc) design, and structure.
• Education: Improved nutrition through all phases of home food production
and processing, other local sources of food including farmers market and
CSAs.
Goals:
Short-term
a. Create CGs policy committee to define and implement CG objectives.
Currently have 6-member committee
b. Focus:
• Public meetings to involve community (all sectors)
• Land acquisition, water must be available (for e.g. pilot project plus 1
garden/quadrant and/or area where most interest is)
• Develop coalition of partners (ONF, UofA, Wash. Co. Ext., DHS, School
District, AATRA, NCAT, City, etc.) Define potential role of partners, seek
involvement
• Facilitate development of individual gardens based on participating
garden members needs
• Identify garden leaders and develop volunteer base for each garden
c. Community Food Assessment
d. Utilize City web site
e. Zoning requirements (schools, parks, churches, neighborhoods, private and
other lands)

Assessment:

lead and participate in all phases of development and management for
their gardens.
3. Roles of our CGs committee/city government/other partners:
• Facilitate CGs from the people up, creating excitement in the community
• Support many community building possibilities of CGs
• Facilitate development of CGs with resources that the gardening members
need. Facilitation should be to help the community build their gardens and
the programs that evolve around CGs
Populations served:

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities Grant:
Healthy Kids, Healthy Communities is a national program of the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation (RWJF) whose primary goal is to implement healthy eating
and active living initiatives that can support healthier communities for children
and families across the United States. The program places special emphasis on
reaching children who are at highest risk for obesity on the basis of
race/ethnicity, income and/or geographic location. This initiative will advance
RWJF's efforts to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic by 2015.
Through this call for proposals (CFP), RWJF will award approximately 60 grants
to help local community partnerships across the United States increase
opportunities for physical activity and improve access to affordable healthy foods
for children and families. Special consideration will be given to communities in 15
states where the incidence of or risk for childhood obesity is the greatest.
Approximately half of the grants under this CFP will be awarded to communities
in these states.
Brief proposal submitted on February 2, 2009 for $320,000
Long proposal due May 14, 2009
Late September finalist notified
Funding announced December 15, 2009.
