Tree City USA

Location
Minnesota
I am thinking of getting my hometown enrolled into the Arborday Foundation's Tree City USA program.

Does anyone have any experience with this program? I havent looked into it a whole lot yet, so any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
 
What would you like to know about the program?

It requires:
1. A tree board or department
2. A community tree ordinance
3. A community forestry program with an annual budget of at least $2 per capita
4. An arbor day observance and proclamation

Pretty simple stuff, but #2 and #3 can be hard to get accomplished without significant help from local leaders. I work with 3 tree cities, and each one is very different. Ohio has regional urban forestry coordinators who are available to help with the process. Perhaps MN has something similar?
