b. All street trees and a minimum of 45 plant units.

OTHER BUSINESS The next scheduled meeting is Monday, June 28, 2021.
Matt Wright presented the May 2021 Monthly Community Development
Activity Report. Commissioner Tom Rohr asked if staff could add to the report
when construction would start for projects. Mr. Wright stated that is difficult
for staff to determine because ultimately that is up to the developer and the
applicant. Commissioner Rohr questioned how high weeds are handled in the
city. Mike Mallon, Director, Community Development, stated that reports are
called in by residents and the Code Enforcement Officer looks at the site. If
indeed there is a violation then a letter is mailed to the property owner. The
owner will have a date to cut the grass, if it’s not cut then an abatement letter
will be mailed out to the owner. Commissioner Banks questioned if there is
somewhere that tells residents where to place their trash containers. Mr. Wright
stated that it is on the City’s website and the BS Magazine has code tips that
addresses trash containers. Note the trash companies don’t have to place the
trash containers back near the home, that is the resident’s responsibility.

Commissioner Byron Craddolph had concerns that he was not allowed to speak
at the June 7th City Council meeting on the CIP addressing an armored vehicle.
He asked if an Appearance Speaker form is required to speak at the Council
meeting. Jackie Sommer, City Attorney, stated that the forms are not required
but, highly recommend it so that staff can prepare for the meeting. She
apologized for the confusion and the fact that Commissioner Craddolph
couldn’t speak at the meeting.
MEETING ADJOURN With no further discussion, a motion was made by Commissioner Lynn Banks
to adjourn at 7:02 p.m. Seconded by Commissioner Jacob Honeycutt.
