ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION

Parish
City Manager Moore informed Council that the race organizers are proposing a new
location for the event. They would like approval to use the hike/bike path in Beebe
Street Park to conduct their charity run. The new location will no longer require the
closure of nearly all or portions of Gleason, Chaskey, George, Gierk and Franklin
Streets.
Motion by Allen, seconded by Greene, to approve the Special Event Application from
St. Augustine Parish Festival for the 2019 3K/5K Charity Walk/Run Event on Saturday,

● Temporary fence adjacent to tent along Friday Street
All yeas Motion passes
3. Consideration of DTE Tree Grant
City Manager Moore informed Council that applications were currently being received
for a DTE Tree grant. A significant number of trees throughout the City have been

The DTE Tree grant would increase the number of tees replanted by the City. At this
time, trees would only be replanted in front of properties interested in having a street
tree.

application for the DTE Tree Planting Program.
