Board of Trustees Action Items
Wednesday, February 26, 2025

Agreement with Resource Central Approved

The Board of Trustees approved an agreement with Resource Central for two water-wise programs for residents.  

The first is a Lawn Replacement Program, allowing residents to obtain a discount for a lawn removal service to remove existing high-water-use landscapes with the intent of the resident replacing them with low-water alternatives. The goal is to make it easier and more affordable for Firestone residents to reduce their water consumption through permanent low-water landscape changes. View more information about this program here.

The second is to participate in the Garden in a Box program, which offers residents a discounted price on pre-assembled planting kits with various low-water plants and helpful tips about water-wise gardening. This program complements the Lawn Replacement Program. View more information about this program here.
