The Dalles Beautification Committee gave a presentation to City Councilors outlining achievements so far, and asking for about $28,000 of additional funding in the next fiscal year to work to clean-up downtown.  They are looking to do work on trees in the downtown core and improve benches and waste receptacles, along with coordinating with the Main Street program and urban renewal.  Mayor Rich Mays supports the request, and hopes the municipal budget committee will do the same.  The municipal budget committee starts meeting will be this Monday evening.
