REQUEST: Community Development Department, Urban Beautification Services Division,
requesting the City Commission set a date and time for the Timothy J. Lallathin
Memorial Tree Dedication Ceremony at Central Winds Park.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to request the City Commission set a date and time
for a Memorial Tree Planting to be dedicated at a public ceremony held by the City in
honor of former Fire Chief Timothy 1. Lallathin.
CONSIDERATIONS:
On June 11, 2007 at the regular City Commission Meeting, the City Commission
voted to have a Memorial Tree planted at Central Winds Park in honor of Fire Chief
Timothy J. Lallathin. Furthermore, the Commission agreed to have a formal tree dedication
ceremony with members of the public and the Winter Springs Fire Department in attendance.
At the same meeting it was decided the day of dedication would be proclaimed as 'Tim
Lallathin Day'.
After consulting with Chief Lallathin's wife, Pam, a permanent monument in memory
of Tim's service to Winter Springs was designed and ordered by Staff on July 16, 2007. A
specimen oak tree and appropriate landscaping was later installed to accentuate the project.
Staff is currently awaiting arrival of the monument so the project can be completed.
Staff anticipates the monument will be installed at the site no later than November 1,
2007, therefore, it is recommended the Dedication Ceremony be planned after that date.
