So, and it's worked out. All right. >> Oh, it's me. [laughter] >> Kim's not here. Okay. So, um, walk me through this. >> And the date >> I would like to bring, this is summer Adams. I'd like to bring the tree board
to order and the date is June 4th. 2026 and we'll stand for the pledge of allegiance. >> I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> All right. So, approval of minutes. Do we have a motion? >> I move to accept both minutes from
February 5th and April 4th. >> I second. >> All in favor? >> I >> I. >> Um All right. So, do we have any uh agenda item number three? any additions or deletions of the regular agenda.
Okay. If not, um that's approval of the regular agenda. Is there a motion for that or yes, it's going to be one of y'all? [laughter] >> I I move that we approve um the regular agenda >> and I'll second it.
>> All in favor? I >> I >> I >> All right. So, um agenda item 3C, update on the purchase of the Japanese maples with discussion. >> So, you guys had um asked for me to get
quotes and stuff on the Japanese maples, but you also wanted another color, correct? Y'all wanted the Japanese maple and then possibly one of the green with the native >> No maples. It was no green >> or no green.
>> I think it was uh two different colors if we could uh >> right >> if we could. >> Okay. So the for the 15gallon red Japanese maples they're 21630. They also have the blood good maples for
the same price. I know we had talked I had talked to y'all earlier the ones that they had quoted me for that were they were really small like the little three gallons and those were the ones that were like 50 bucks >> right >> but >> our ordinance says they have to be
>> right >> the bigger >> sure >> so with the second one that you said the blood what what's it called >> the blood good maple >> yeah is it >> I know that was mentioned >> what also is it >> uh it's it's kind of like a orange, a
reddish orange. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Instead of being just the red, it'll have the red >> and that one. So, because it was a $500, right? >> So, we'd be able to afford one of each. >> The minutes say $300 donation.
>> A total of $700 from both of the donations so far. 300 from >> Rotary. And the motion uh said the total cost should not exceed $400. So if the um if
the maples are how much did you say each? >> 216. >> 216. >> 216. That would put us just over 400. >> Yeah, that'd be like 430 431 432 something like that. >> Going over just a little bit. >> I I was going to say the um I I think
they're still there. They were there yesterday when I moved trees, but there were two 10gallon at Lowe's for 145. And those are the blood goods that we got. >> I'm trying to remember cuz I'm trying to
remember. I can't remember the if the ordinance said that they have to be 15 or 20 gallons. >> Okay. >> But I I'll go back and look. >> It was the trunk diameter. >> The caliper. >> Yeah. I think was the more so than the gallons, but >> and I'd have to measure those to know
for sure. >> So, as a committee, you guys can change that like how that's going to be paid because at the time those minutes were um drafted, that was all that was in the donation. So, with the more money with the donation, you can certainly say we
want to use our total amount of donations to >> and so we've got 700 in there right now. So just going $30 over what we approved before wouldn't really be a huge deal. >> Correct. >> Okay. If we can do it, I say >> yeah.
>> Okay. >> Do we need a motion for that here? >> I don't think so. >> Just make a decision on there. It's just allocation of those funds. >> Can we all agree then? >> Yes. Agreed. >> Okay. Okay. And then my next question was is where are we wanting to plant
those? Well, you remember that day? [laughter] >> I do not remember that day because I was not there. >> So, where do you kind of want to plan on putting these?
So, I went down there during Lakefest. I kind of went down there and walked around and uh looked and there's actually several red maples down there already. >> Okay. Okay. I bet there's probably seven or eight down there between the library
and the amphitheater. >> Yeah. >> And they're down closer to the water and they're small. But um >> for some reason I was thinking it was to the I guess it' be the south of the library going um
towards Bruce from the library halfway. It's hard because it's circle to try to get a a point, but um >> so the shiitakqua building faces west. >> Yeah, >> these are Japanese maples though, right? >> Yeah. So a little different beast.
>> Yeah. >> A lot smaller like per part shade. >> Yeah. I was just thinking over there in the the pine say the black goods will take full sun. >> They will take full sun. Yeah. Okay. >> And especially Simpson, they grow them
in full sun for that reason. So, >> do you know where the big magnolia tree got took down that was across? >> I feel like one of the areas was over there whenever Mike had mentioned there was an open area, but >> where at? >> Do you remember the magnolia tree that
was like the oldest magnolia tree in Florida that they had to take down due to its safety? [snorts] >> I'm trying to remember. That was on the south side of the lake, right? Over kind of by where the dock is, but a little bit further toward Kim's house. Right.
No, complete opposite side. Um, [clears throat] >> towards the middle, closer to the middle school. >> Just somewhere between [clears throat] the playground area, the new playground equipment and >> where you turn in to go to the middle school. Yeah. >> Okay. I think I I think
>> didn't we just plant >> wide open yard with a a brick house kind of ranch ranch style brick house set way back. >> Mhm. And I know you're talking about >> I think we just planted two trees in that >> two memorial. Yeah. For Arbor Day.
>> Um well maybe I could uh volunteer Mike to meet down there. [laughter] I'm kidding. Um I don't know. It's sort of hard if there's already some there. We just definitely wanted an area that will take the sun, [clears throat] >> you know, that it's the right shade and
an open area. So, I guess if you if you guys want to just kind of let me know where and then because I really don't want to go purchase the trees and then just sit somewhere until we figure out where we're going to put them, >> right? >> So, um >> and we can do that through email or just
Yeah. >> Yeah. You Yeah. Well, >> they would have to individually >> they would Yeah, they would have to individually email you. >> Y'all might be able to talk about it. So, there's two choices. [snorts] We can wait till the next meeting, bring
it all back and and let everybody go out and look at where the area is at. You can do that as well, Andrew. Or if you guys want to decide to have a special meeting, I can go with Kim. I can get with Kim and [clears throat] see if everybody wants to do a special meeting and then I can try to get with each one
of you guys to see if you want to have a special meeting before next month. If you want to do it like that, >> I'd rather go ahead and get it in the ground before it gets too hot. >> So, is [clears throat] there >> because there is going to need to be a motion that's made and discussion. You can't do that over email of where this
is because I need to get clarification too. Is does this have to go to council? It's another thing too. I don't think so. But I know the uplighting we would definitely have to take that to council. Is there anything else that we need to discuss that well if we if we have a
special meeting there where we can just say hey this is good that we could sort of get you know two birds with one stone type deal so we're not having to go back like with the lighting like let's say let's do a special meeting and go ahead and go over this lighting and these trees one more time just so we're not going back and forth.
>> Yes. Because it >> if I'm there then I can because I'll be the one that'll be out there hands-on. right? You know, >> so I think those two things and could probably add the fiveyear strategy
master plan cleanup, send that back out after I'm looking at you because we've had this. >> Well, there's those those items that we can definitely >> Can we can we just >> you want to take >> try again? No, I was thinking he's want
to get the plants in the ground, which I get, but what if we just do it? Can we can we call for a special meeting? Could we do this next week? >> So, let me look at the schedule and see if there is openings for a special meeting or, you know, a meeting. Um,
and then I'd have to get with Kim and Mike to find out what their schedule is. But with the three of you guys here, we can certainly um >> I mean, if if y'all >> So, can y'all meet earlier then?
>> I mean, I was going to say if they want to nominate somebody to meet me out there, then they can absolutely do that and then he can discuss that with me and then me and him can go out there and figure out where to put them. They're going to have to make a decision, an emotion to put them out
there >> unless I mean I I'm feeling like I'm kind of we're kind of overstepping in that hole. >> I mean, I can get clarification from Kobe on that if you guys decide, hey, we're going to let him make the final
decision. don't know how that works, you know. So, there are opportunities next week if you guys want to do a meeting where Kim can be here and I
just need to get with Kim and Mike to see >> and and not to overstep, but like even whenever we planted the plants at the park, I wasn't a part of that. So, and I was okay with that. But I think you went out there and decided. So what would be
the difference in this instance? >> Yeah. Not sure. Okay. >> That's where I'm like I'm struggling to Yes. >> Right. >> I don't want to say yes and then I'd be wrong. But >> to Yeah. So, I do feel like you can at
least meet somebody out there and then I can find out through Kobe if in fact >> that's >> I was going to say if >> I think we >> if I messaged him and seeing if he could meet me out there
and then where he suggests and I could send that to you and you could send that out in an email and then they could all respond back to you. >> Mhm. >> And then that would cover that. >> And then I'll find out from Kobe, does
this even need to be in a motion? >> And then we'll know from there. [clears throat] Excuse me. >> That sounds like >> Okay, we'll just do that. >> Okay. >> So, will you reach out? >> Do you have my >> I do. I've got his cell phone number, so I'll reach out to him and message him and see.
>> Okay. >> Good job. [laughter] There's got to be a loophole somewhere [laughter] decision. Mike makes the decision. >> Don't ever say the word. >> Okay. So, um 3D update on up lighting.
>> Okay. So, did any of you guys go out to Lake Fist? >> I I did not >> did not make it. >> Okay. So, I know Kim did um the big oak. And I can't believe I did not take pictures of it. I did at my house, but I
did not do it out there. Um, so Kim loved the tree. This is one of my big oaks at my house >> with the uplighting. And you can pass that over.
>> And I just checked those are 15 gallons because I sent an email the day they came in. >> Okay. >> But they're 145. So >> Okay. And those are the Japanese >> the blood good >> Oh, those are the >> blood good Japanese maples. >> Okay. And they're 15 gallon. Okay.
>> And they were 145. And I think they're both still there. They were yesterday. >> Okay. So, it sort of looks like it has a purple tint. >> That one does. I didn't have the remote when I got home. Okay. So, it was a purple tree. Okay. Um, [laughter] now I
did uh I took the big oak that is next between the library and the amphitheater. It's closer to the amphitheater. There's a huge oak tree right there. So, I lit it up for LakeFest that way Kim could
come out and look at it, see if that's, you know, is this what you guys want? Is this, you know, going to work? She loved it. Um, but that one took six lights versus three for a say a normal size oak tree. But you know,
most of those oak trees will take three lights, but that one took six to wrap all the way around it to be able to light it all up. Um if they but if we do pine trees some of the pine the taller pine trees and stuff for versatility then those are only
going to take two. So we can use because I know I told you guys it was usually going to be about three >> per tree which is about 600 bucks a tree. >> So if we choose the right trees we can spread it out a little. >> Correct. So, if you if you did a couple of the the pine trees where we would
only need two, if y'all still and I know I'm sure y'all want to do that big huge oak and um because you could see it when we were doing fireworks on the side of the lake, you could see it all the way across the lake over there. >> So, um >> I think if we sporadically put them out
around for right now that it would >> Okay. >> And we can change color. I know y'all were talking about the warm white. It does not have a It has a yellowish color, but to me it's more yellow than
what a warm white is, >> right? >> But it does not have a warm white. But, you know, we can do if y'all want to as the seasons change, we could do spring colors. We could do other stuff to kind of give it more color out there at night if that's >> right.
>> What you guys want to do, >> we can, you know, eyeball it. Fourth of July, you could do red, white, and blue all the way around. I mean, there's all kinds of stuff that you could do with those. >> Remind me, this is something that we are going to ask approval to.
>> Correct. >> But I don't want to I don't want to go out and buy the stuff >> until we get approval from them. And then I want you guys to understand how much it's going to cost and that kind of stuff for us to >> to make that decision.
>> Madam vice chair, I hate to go back, but Can we just make a motion [laughter] to have Mr. Anderson contact Mr. Goodchild with the decision of the trees and email the city deputy city clerk with that
information? >> Yes. Somebody has to Can I make I don't Can I Okay, I'm make a motion for exactly that >> for um uh for Mr. director of public works to contact
>> my good child. Yes. To meet him out there and help >> decision on the location of planting the trees. >> That's right. And to contact me. >> I second. Okay. >> All in favor? >> I >> I [laughter] >> now
[clears throat] I figured me not making the motion would keep it a little clearer who's talking about which Anderson. Um, [laughter] so the up planning does need to go before council and I think um I mean I' I've got the photographs and numbered from
when we did the workshop in >> January. So, if you guys want to go out there and then try to make a decision about which trees because um before we take it to council, you would need to know which trees and what the cost of
that is going to be and how that's going to be >> and then I can I can go through diamond maps for presentation for council and then that way I can just shoot them overhead and they can see exactly where everything's going to be placed at. And as far as the um wiring and the
electrical, that's >> that's on. >> So, as of right now, because I'm not I don't want to put anything in the ground yet. >> Um we're going to do it's going to be above ground. I'm going to have a locking mechanism to lock them to the tree. >> Mhm.
>> And they're going to be mounted to that so that it'll prevent theft. And as of right now, we're just going to run a cord out there to get them up and going. make sure there's no complaints and stuff. >> Not that there will be, but to make sure
everybody's okay with it. And then after that, then we can start putting underground infrastructure closer to the tree. >> Okay. >> Because there's there's power all over that lakeyard, >> right? Okay, that's good. I just didn't know how much of a cost that would be, but doing it like you're saying is we're
just getting it up and going first and then [clears throat] >> So, we need a special meeting still. Well, it's up to you all if you want to wait till next. I think the planting of the trees where it's a little different
because you don't want to let it get too hot and those types of things, but if you guys want to wait till that'll give you time to kind of decide what tree, >> right, >> and have that discussion at the next meeting. That's completely however you guys want to do because it still would
need to go to council. >> Okay. Um, I would have a request for um I think Mike's out of town also. Um, but July 2nd is our next meeting is maybe moving it to July 9th.
>> Yeah, because I will be on vacation that week. >> I'm not going to be here July 9th, but I'm not crucial to this. I can >> Are you not going to be here the second or the 9th? >> No, the second is my birthday, so I'll be >> okay. >> Out and gone. >> Okay. Right. This phone bunny. >> Yeah.
>> So, if you guys want to >> I don't know that we can manage without you though. [laughter] >> That's true. >> Who what happens? >> If I'm not here, then Madison will >> have to sit and push through >> and want to be like I don't know.
>> We Okay. So, um >> we either move it forward or >> we can't move it forward. We we would yeah we would have to go to the following week the week of the 13th if we didn't um I
mean Madison can be here to to um the clerk. >> I mean short of having a special meeting maybe a week prior out there. Oh, like
we'd have to have a special meeting if a decision needs to be made. It can't be a workshop, >> right? That's what I'm saying. If if we did a special meeting out there, >> then we could actually do the decisions of where we're going to put the lights at >> and then I can put all that on diamond maps while we're out there and then we
can take it before the next council meeting. >> Yep. We could take it before the council. I keep saying we It's really you on the 22nd. >> That's the council meeting. So, we would need to meet the week
before, probably the the week of the 15th through the 19th. >> Mhm. Either next week or the following week. >> That's up to you all. I mean, [clears throat] >> next week would be way better for me.
I've got something huge on that next week. >> What days work best for you? Um, >> I'm not gonna be here on the 11th and 12th. I >> say the 11th. Okay. Uh, yeah. I I'll make whatever work next week. So, 8th, 9th, or 10th.
>> So, I'll have to if you if you guys can decide on two dates, maybe the 9th and the 10th, and then I can reach out to Kim and Mike to see what their availability is. I know Kim's probably got a real tight schedule. >> Yeah. >> Um, so >> yeah, come night or tent would work for
me. How about you? >> As long as it's after 2:00. >> Okay. 9th or 10th after 2:00. >> Okay. The 9th or 10th after 2. So, let's say like 3:00 shouldn't be more than an hour between 3 and 5. And I'll just see what Kim has. >> Okay.
>> Are you good with that, sir? >> Mhm. Yeah. I don't have anything the nth or tth. >> Okay. >> After that time. >> Okay. Then I'll just I'll say whatever she can do between three. Oh, no. We won't be able to go to the staff meeting.
>> H >> we have staff meeting that day at 3:00. >> Which day was that? >> May 9th on the 9th. >> On the 9th. Yeah. >> So, we'll have to do a four o'clock on the 9th. I'll I'll offer four o'clock on the 9th or three
and five. Sounds good. >> Yeah. I'll send something right now. And then if we moved it the other meeting back >> a week >> to the 9th then that would >> Oh, you mean then July?
Mhm. [clears throat] Then that would give me time. >> Didn't do it. I'm not going to be here. >> That would give me time to look over the strategy plan. >> Well, why don't we >> need to be here for that? >> Yeah. So, why don't we instead of doing the night since we're already going to have the special meeting, so we're all
going to get to see each other. Let's just go ahead and move it out to um the 16th. >> Okay. I mean, if that works. July 16th. 5:00. >> Does that work for you? Seven
>> the 16th. >> Yeah. >> I'm good. >> Okay. >> I'm I'm good. [laughter] >> Sorry. We just want you to join us. >> A little delay. There's a little delay there because I actually manage several
people's schedule. [laughter] >> Am I good? I'm good. So, we can Yeah, we can certainly do a five o'clock. >> Okay. So, next week we're looking at 9th through 10th and July the 16th for the regular meeting. >> I think I'm gonna call Kim. There's a lot of info.
>> Yeah. >> So, I'm gonna call her and see what she says and then I'll email everyone tomorrow. So on June 9th we're do it five o'clock four or five I think >> four or five and then on the 10th
anything between 3 and 5 and this is going to be a special meeting at park to discuss uplighting of >> Okay. You want to throw in >> Yes. I was just I was just like, we're
going anyways. We might as well discuss where those trees are going to go instead of trying to get Mike to meet you on a separate day. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> You know, >> so we're going to take this agenda. >> Yeah. >> We're going to do a special meeting and we're gonna add these two agenda items and
>> we're going to be done. >> Okay. >> Yes. >> I know. So, >> okay. And then I will just carry over these two agenda items onto our special meeting and I will email
everyone with the dates for that as well as moving the July meeting to the 16th and we've decided you all have decided um that we're going to do the five-year
master plan draft on the 16th of July. [clears throat] >> Hopefully I'll have because I'll have budget done by then. >> Yeah. >> So then I can switch over. >> Okay. >> Start going through all the ordinances and all the >> I've been in a little. [laughter] >> All right.
>> Okay. So I um priority tracking list that's >> Do you want to just wait? >> Yeah, that's due. I think >> the priority tracking list really can't be adjusted or changed because most of the things on there we you've all have
already accomplished and we can't add anything else until that master plan is done. >> Right. >> Yep. So, it's just going to have to fold. I mean, I can bring that back on a paper form if y'all want to take a look at it the next when we do the special
meeting. >> Okay. Citizen comments. Uh motion to adjurnn. >> [clears throat and snorts]
