I happened to find the
Medford Public Library Board of Trustees meeting minutes. Librarians here get paid a little over half of what they get paid in Arlington.
Less sad excerpts:
The Library switched to a smaller company. The new company weeded, trimmed plants, and removed 68 dead plants. The dead plants will be replaced with new ones better suited for the space.
You can practically see the landscaping manager telling the landscapers to count the plants pulled for the metrics.
Baby Animal Day was a hit, attended by a goat, a pig, a kitten, chickens and a big crowd of people.
