USUALLY AROUND THE FIRST OR SECOND MEETING YOU'LL HAVE IN JUNE, THEY PRESENT TO YOU, AND THAT'S KIND OF ROUNDS IT OUT.

BUT TO GIVE YOU A SNEAK PREVIEW, THEY HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL ADVOCACY PROJECT.

THEY WANTED TO DO SOMETHING TO HELP THE BUSINESSES I'M SORRY, THE RESTAURANTS RATHER, WHICH OF COURSE, ARE BUSINESS.

AND SO THEIR ADVOCACY PROJECT TURNED INTO THIS TASTE OF SOUTHLAKE PROGRAM, AND THEY RAISED A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR CONSIDERING IT'S A SMALL GROUP AND WHAT THEY DID. I WILL SAVE THE DETAILS FOR THEM TO SHARE WITH YOU LATER BECAUSE IT'S EXCITING.

SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF GREAT FOOD.

WE HAVE CLOSE TO 150 ARTISTS.

A COUPLE OF THINGS ABOUT OUR FESTIVAL.

IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW, IT'S REAL IMPORTANT TO US AND WE ARE 100% VOLUNTEER FUNDRAISING FESTIVAL, WHICH IS FAIRLY UNIQUE IN THE COUNTRY.

[3.B. City Manager's Report]

MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE KEN BAKER, WHO'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT NATIONAL ARBOR DAY.

ROGER BAKER. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR.

MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL.

TONIGHT THE PRESENTATION WILL INVOLVE THE CELEBRATION OF NATIONAL ARBOR DAY.

THIS IS THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY.

AND THEN I'D LIKE TO JUST SPEAK TO A COUPLE OF AWARDS THE CITY HAS OBTAINED IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS RELATED TO TREE CITY USA AND THE GROWTH AWARD. TO GIVE YOU A QUICK HISTORY ON NATIONAL ARBOR DAY THIS APRIL, THE COUNTRY IS CELEBRATING THE 150TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF ARBOR DAY.

ARBOR DAY WAS FOUNDED IN NEBRASKA BY A NEWSPAPER EDITOR.

HIS NAME WAS JAY STERLING MORTON, AND HE HAD AN ENTHUSIASM FOR TREES AND ADVOCATED STRONGLY FOR INDIVIDUALS AND CIVIC GROUPS TO PLANT TREES

[00:25:10]

THE FIRST CELEBRATION OCCURRED IN 1872, ON APRIL 10TH, AND PRIZES WERE OFFERED TO INDIVIDUALS AND CIVIC GROUPS WHO PLANTED THE LARGEST NUMBER OF TREES IN A PROPER MANNER.

AND IT'S ESTIMATED OVER A MILLION TREES WERE PLANTED ON THAT DAY IN NEBRASKA IN 1943, THE TEXAS STATE LEGISLATOR LEGISLATION LEGISLATORS ADOPTED A RESOLUTION AS THEY ARBOR DAY FOR TEXAS.

AND NOW IT'S CELEBRATED BY ALL 50 STATES AND A NUMBER OF COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD.

AND SO THIS IS THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY.

AND 50 YEARS AGO THE ARBOR DAY FOUNDATION WAS FORMED, AND THEY ARE THE LARGEST NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO PLANTING TREES AND DISTRIBUTING EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS.

AND IT'S BEEN ESTIMATED THAT OVER 500 MILLION TREES WORLDWIDE HAVE BEEN PLANTED BASED ON THEIR EFFORTS.

SO THE CITY HAS BEEN HEAVILY INVOLVED IN ARBOR DAYS.

WE'VE GOT A STRONG TRADITION OF PROMOTING TREES IN THE CITY, PROTECTING TREES, INTEGRATING TREES INTO OUR DEVELOPMENT.

AND WE WERE ONE OF THE FIRST CITIES IN THE STATE OF TEXAS TO DEVELOP A TREE PRESERVATION ORDINANCE THAT WAS IN 1993.

AND THE GOAL OF THAT ORDINANCE IS TO FURTHER PRESERVE THE MATURE TREES IN THE NATURAL AREA, PROTECT TREES DURING CONSTRUCTION, FACILITATE DESIGN CONSTRUCTION THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE THE SUSTAINABILITY OF TREES AND CONTROL THE REMOVAL OF TREES.

AND SO THE COUNCIL HAS REALLY SHOWN THIS COUNCIL AND PREVIOUS COUNCILS HAVE REALLY SHOWN THAT TREE PRESERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT IS NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE, THAT THEY CAN COEXIST. AND I THINK THE CITY HAS DONE IT VERY SUCCESSFULLY PER YOU ALLS EFFORTS AND PREVIOUS COUNCILS, WHEN WE WORK ON OUR CAPITAL PROJECTS, TREES ARE BIG COMPONENT OF THAT.

IF YOU LOOK AT OUR 1938 PROJECT, THE MEDIANS, 1709 MEDIANS, VILLAGE CENTER, XENA RUCKER ROAD, ALL HAVE A TREE AND LANDSCAPE COMPONENT, PARTICULARLY AS DEVELOPMENT COMES IN THE COUNCIL COUNCILS ALWAYS PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE TREE PLANS AND HOW TO MAXIMIZE AND SAVE THE SIGNIFICANT TREES THAT WILL ENHANCE THE SITE AND INCREASE THOSE MARKET VALUES OF THE COMMUNITY.

AND THE COUNCIL HAS DONE JUST AN OUTSTANDING JOB.

ANY TIME THE CITY CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FREE PROGRAMS LIKE TXU OFFERS.

WE PLANT TREES IN OUR PARKS.

WE'VE HAD THE TREE SCAVENGER HUNT BACK IN 2020 TO CELEBRATE OUR TREES AND OUR PARKS.

WE PARTICIPATE IN CELEBRATIONS EVERY ARBOR DAY, WHICH WE DO IN NOVEMBER DUE TO COOLER MONTHS.

IT'S HARD TO QUANTIFY JUST THE IMPACT THAT THE COUNCILS AND THE CITIZENS AND THE COMMUNITIES HAD ON THE CITY. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THESE SLIDES CAN GRAPHICALLY SHOW IT, BUT WE'LL ATTEMPT TO DO THAT.

BUT THIS IS A 1989 AERIAL PHOTO, AND I THINK THERE'S ENOUGH CONTRAST ON THIS AERIAL PHOTO THAT YOU CAN SEE THE TREES.

AND WE HAD A LOT OF PASTURELAND, SOME AGRARIAN ACTIVITIES, SOME FARMING ACTIVITIES THAT WERE HAPPENING PRIOR TO SEWER COMING IN AND DEVELOP AND REALLY TAKING OFF IN THE LATE EIGHTIES AND EARLY NINETIES.

AND IF YOU LOOK AT AN AERIAL TODAY, YOU CAN REALLY SEE WHY THE DEVELOPMENT AND SUBDIVISION AND COMMERCIALS DEVELOP.

YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF THOSE PASTURE LANDS NOW HAVE TREES.

AND THAT'S BECAUSE THE DESIGN YOU REQUIRED THOSE STREET TREES, YOU REQUIRED A COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT PRESERVE TREES WHERE WE HAD TREES PRIMARILY ALONG OUR CREEK BEDS AND WATERWAYS.

IT'S PRETTY WIDE THROUGH THE CITY WHERE WE'RE GETTING SOME MATURE TREES NOW ON 20 PLUS YEARS.

I THINK THIS PHOTO REALLY SHOWS THAT JUST TO GET YOUR BEARINGS STRAIGHT, THERE'S A LITTLE NOTE.

AT THE TOP SIDE AT THE INTERSECTION.

THAT'S WHY CHAPEL IS 1709.

AND THIS IS MORE OF A LATE SEVENTIES, EARLY EIGHTIES TIME PERIOD.

BUT YOU CAN SEE THE CHURCH AND YOU CAN SEE THE VETERINARY OFFICE ON 1709.

BUT THIS KIND OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF HOW MOST THE LAND EXCEPT LONGER CREEKS AND WATERWAYS WERE LOOKED LIKE 30 PLUS YEARS AGO.

NOW, THIS ISN'T THIS EXACT SAME ANGLE, BUT IT'S PRETTY CLOSE.

AND YOU CAN SEE JUST THE DRAMATIC CHANGE IN THAT PASTURE LAND, HOW TRANSFORMED NEIGHBORHOODS, HOW HOW TREES HAVE NOW MATURED THAT HAVE BEEN

[00:30:02]

IF YOU'VE BEEN TO THIS IS STACY PROPERTY, YOU SEE ALL THE NEW TREES HAVE BEEN PLANTED IN THIS AREA AND THAT PASTURE LAND WILL TRANSFORM LIKE THE THE OTHER ADJACENT SUBDIVISIONS.

SO THE COUNCIL'S POLICY, THE WAY THEY'VE REVIEWED PLANS, HAS REALLY HAD A DRAMATIC EFFECT ON THIS COMMUNITY, JUST MAKING IT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO LIVE AND WORK.

A COUPLE OF AWARDS THAT THE CITY HAS RECEIVED BASED ON REALLY THE COUNCIL'S EFFORTS AND THE SUPPORT OF THE TREE PRESERVATION.

THE SOUTHLAKE WAS NAMED A 2021 TREE CITY USA BY THE ARBOR DAY FOUNDATION.

AND WHAT THAT DOES IS IT HONORS THE CITY'S COMMITMENTS TO URBAN FOREST MANAGEMENT.

SOUTHLAKE ACHIEVED HIS TREE CITY DESIGNATION BY MEETING THE PROGRAM'S FOUR REQUIREMENTS, AND THAT'S TO HAVE A TREE BOARD WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED BY THE COUNCIL.

THE BUDGET BUDGETED AT LEAST $2 PER CAPITA, WHICH COUNCIL APPROVES EACH YEAR IN TERMS OF THE LANDSCAPE ADMINISTRATOR, WE HAVE AN ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION OBSERVANCE AND SO COUNCIL HAS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THE EFFORTS AND STAFF IS GREATLY APPRECIATIVE.

THIS IS OUR 24TH CONSECUTIVE YEAR THAT WE'VE BEEN RECOGNIZED AS A TREE CITY USA, SO WE STARTED GETTING THAT RECOGNITION ABOUT SAME TIME THAT FIRST ORDINANCE WAS PASSED. IN ADDITION, THE WE'VE BEEN AWARDED THE GROWTH AWARD WAS AWARDED.

THIS IS A PRESTIGIOUS TREE CITY USA GROWTH AWARD BY THE ARBOR DAY FOUNDATION.

THE CITY RECEIVES A GROWTH AWARD FOR PROGRESS IN ITS COMMUNITY FORESTRY PROGRAM IN AREAS OF COMMUNICATION, PUBLIC EDUCATION, CONTINUAL EDUCATION OF THE FORESTRY STAFF AND PLANNING COORDINATION.

AND WHAT KIND OF KICKED US OVER THE TOP THIS YEAR WAS THE PARKS MASTER PLAN AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MAP.

AND THAT CONTENT WITHIN THAT PLAN SCORED ENOUGH POINTS TO ALLOW THE CITY TO RECEIVE THAT GROWTH AWARD.

AND THE GROWTH AWARD IS CREATED TO RECOGNIZE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT AND HIGHER LEVEL OF TREE CARE IN TREE CITY USA COMMUNITIES.

SO YOU HAVE TO GET THE TREE CITY USA AWARD AND THEN THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT TAKE IT UP ANOTHER LITTLE LEVEL RECEIVE THIS GROWTH AWARD.

JUST QUICKLY, AS A REMINDER, THE CITY OF SOUTHLAKE OFFERS A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS RELATED TO TREES, FROM EDUCATION TO PERMITTING, TO TREE REMOVAL, AND WE ASSIST WITH IT ALL.

WE ALSO HAVE OUR LANDSCAPE ADMINISTRATOR.

IF A CITIZEN JUST HAS A QUESTION ABOUT HOW TO PLANT A TREE, HOW TO CARE FOR A TREE.

IF MY TREE IS DISEASED, KEITH WILL COME OUT AND DO AN ASSESSMENT.

AND THAT'S A SERVICE THAT WE OFFER TO OUR COMMUNITY THAT'S NOT AVAILABLE IN MOST CITIES.

SO THAT'S A THAT'S A THING HE DOES GOES BEYOND WHERE HE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT TREES AND PROVIDE THAT TYPE OF SERVICE.

THE CITY ALSO HAS THE STREET TREE PROGRAM, WHICH, IF YOU WANT A CITIZEN WANTS TO PURCHASE A TREE AT A REDUCED RATE, THE CITY WILL PARTNER WITH THAT, PAY HALF THAT COST, THAT TREE COST.

AND THEN WE WILL COME OUT AND PLANT THAT TREE IF IT'S ALONG THE STREET RIGHT AWAY.

AND SO IT'S A GOOD PROGRAM TO HAVE TREES IN YOUR PROPERTY AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT EVERY YEAR.

YOU CAN DO ONE TREE A YEAR, BUT IT'S A GREAT SERVICE.

WE'LL COME OUT AND PLANT IT OR OUR CONTRACTORS WILL.

AND IT'S JUST A WAY TO CONTINUE TO BUILD THAT TREE INVENTORY AND JUST KEEP MAKING SOUT HLAKE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITIES TO LIVE IN.

SO, SO, SO CITIES, ANY CITIZENS, ANY CITIZEN IN SOUTHLAKE CAN COME OUT AND AND PARTNER WITH YOU AND THE CITY COMES OUT AND PLANTS A TREE IN THE RIGHT OF WAY ON THEIR PROPERTY.

AND WE JUST SPLIT THE COSTS.
