provided tentative Fiscal Year 2024 budget was presented to the Commission and
asked if the board had any questions for Staff.
Questions regarding the budget for landscaping and fixing of the wall ensue. Staff

are coming in higher than expected and may need to be done in parts stretched out
into several fiscal years.

on target. Discussion relating to the irrigation ensued between Staff and the
Committee. A brief discussion and review of the encumbrances also ensued due to
questions asked at the last Committee meeting.
502) Update on Oak Forest Wall and Landscaping Projects
Mr. Maddox opened the update by relaying the progress and projects that have already
been to fix improve and fix the wall. The “Creeping Fig” needed to be fully killed off
before new landscaping can be put in. As discussed in the last meeting staff are ready
to move forward but the initial contractor has backed out and the additional quotas are
coming in higher than expected. Staff suggested segmenting the project into stages,
doing the entrances first and then working out to the wall.
Discussion began on budget and the reasoning for the high quotes was explained by
staff with the supply and demand being high. Further discussion ensued stabilizing the
portion of the wall that was hit, the reclaim discussion from the last meeting, and
pressure washing.
