by Ms. Kemp to recommend the lower cost plan for trees
and grass only to CIP. Motion was approved by the
Commission. Mr. Baxter will contact irrigation
specialists in his office to draw exact plans for a
sprinkler system so that bids can be requested.

McEntire, City Attorney about the tree and landscape

will make a list of items to be put into the ordinance.
The Commission will approve the list, then he will
present the list to the City Council. Ms. Robinson
would like to add percentage requirements to the
landscape ordinance and include them in this ordinance.
Ms. Scoma will research ordinances in other nearby
cities and report back at the workshop meeting.
