6. Si2naa:e
The new signs look smaller. The Tree City USA sign is a nice addition. The signs need something
at the base. Hill mentioned that railroad ties could be used around the signs.
There was a brief discussion of the removal of trees on Tuskawilla Road when the widening of the
road begins. The building of the (Oak Forest) wall will begin in May 1998.
7. Arbor Dav
The members felt that this year's tree giveaway did not go as well as last year's. There was not
enough public notice. Central Winds Park was not as convenient as the fire stations; there were
non-city functions going on at the park that day. There was some disappointment in the
selection of trees, and the fact that the residents could only get one tree instead of two like at
last year's giveaway. Oak trees were recommended. Approximately 150 trees were given away;
trees are still available at the Public Works Department.

have to be submitted to the Purchasing department by September 15, 1997. The members
decided to hold a special meeting Wednesday, September 27, 1997 at 7:00 p.m. in order to
complete the project in time. The members discussed types of plants. Hill informed the
members of other places where trees are going to be planted within the city.
9. Response to Park/Recreational Facllities and Proposed Residential
Developments Memorandum (from Grimms dated 05-07-97)
Members made a few comments: Park areas or fees-in-lieu-of should not be the first thing to go
in negotiations; it doesn't seem fair when only some have to abide; it should be the same for
everyone; all subdivisions with a certain number of houses should have a park within the
neighborhood; there's always room for improvement in the level of service.
10. Future AIlenda Items
Beecher shared a picture from Alaska which showed streetlighting fixtures like the ones the
board discussed for the Town Center.
