ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET STARTED WITH OUR REGULAR
[1. Ordinance 2026-01 - AN ORDINANCE AMENDING VARIOUS SECTIONS OF CHAPTER 78 TO AMEND TECHNICAL STANDARDS OF PERSONAL WIRELESS SERVICE FACILITIES]
AGENDA.ONE ITEM, REGULAR AGENDA ITEM NUMBER ONE, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING VARIOUS SECTIONS OF CHAPTER 78 TO AMEND TECHNICAL STANDARDS OF PERSONAL WIRELESS SERVICE FACILITIES.
AND THIS ITEM IS FROM THE CITY.
UM, YES, SO WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING IS, UH, REVISIONS TO OUR PWSF ORDINANCE.
I, SO I'M GONNA GO OVER BRIEFLY THE CURRENT, UM, PWSF ORDINANCE APPROACH.
UM, WHY THE NEED FOR THE CHANGE, UH, PRIMARY GOALS OF AN ORDINANCE, AMENDMENT, THE APPROACH, AND THEN THE PROPOSED MEETING SCHEDULE.
SO CURRENTLY THE CURRENT PWSF ORDINANCE, UH, APPROACH IS A TIER SYSTEM.
WE HAVE THREE TIERS CURRENTLY.
UH, TIER ONE IS, UH, AN EXPEDITED REVIEW.
UM, THIS WOULD BE, UH, IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING POLES, UH, ROOF MOUNTED EQUIPMENT.
TIER TWO IS A LITTLE MORE EXTENSIVE REVIEW.
THIS WOULD INCLUDE, UH, INSIDE CHURCH STEEPLES.
UM, ON TVA TRANSMISSION TOWERS, TIER THREE IS
[00:05:01]
OUR LEAST PREFERRED AND TYPICALLY AVOIDED A TIER.UM, THIS WOULD INCLUDE, UM, STRUCTURES WITHIN THE FLOODPLAIN, STEEP HILLSIDES, RESIDENTIAL LOTS, AND ALL GROUND MOUNTS EXCEEDING 42 FEET.
SO THAT'S OUR CURRENT TIER SYSTEM WITHIN THE PWSF ORDINANCE.
UM, THE CURRENT REQUIREMENTS ALSO, UM, REQUIRE DISGUISE TECHNIQUES.
UM, AND THEY ALSO REQUIRE THE HEIGHT OF STRUCTURES TO BE SIMILAR TO, TO THE SURROUNDING, UH, STRUCTURES.
BASICALLY, UM, WE AVOID OR PROHIBIT LATTICE STRUCTURES UNDER THE CURRENT ORDINANCE, AND WE HAVE A FALL ZONE REQUIREMENT OF 110% OF THE TOWER HEIGHT.
AND THEN THEY ALSO HAVE TO COMPLY WITH CURRENT SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.
SO WHY DO WE NEED A CHANGE HERE IN BRENTWOOD? SO, UM, WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT WIRELESS GAPS IN OUR COVERAGE, UH, SPECIFICALLY IN THE EAST, UM, EAST OF WILSON PIKE AREA, THE CITY, AND, UM, THAT RESULTS IN POOR SERVICE TO NO SERVICE AND FRUSTRATED RESIDENTS.
UM, THE WIRELESS SERVICE GAPS, UH, AFFECT EMERGENCY CALL CAPABILITIES.
UH, THEY AFFECT BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND ROU ROUTINE RECREATIONAL USES, UH, AS WELL, OUR PW PWS OR ORDINANCE WAS ADOPTED IN 2001.
UM, AND IT'S PROVEN TO BE OUTDATED AND HAS HINDERED, UH, NEED NEEDED WIRELESS INDUSTRY FACILITY INVESTMENT IN BRENTWOOD OVER MANY YEARS.
UM, WE FEEL THAT THIS HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE GAPS.
IT'S BEEN MORE DIFFICULT FOR NEW TOWERS TO BE PLACED IN BRENTWOOD.
SO THE NEXT SLIDE WILL SHOW AN EXAMPLE OF, UM, THIS WAS A PROPOSAL ACTUALLY, UM, AN ANTENNA UPGRADE THAT WAS, UH, THAT CAME BEFORE YOU SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.
SO YOU HAVE PRE AND POST CONDITIONS THAT THE, THE IMAGE ON THE LEFT SHOWS THE PRE-CONDITION AND THEN, UH, THE POST ON THE RIGHT, YOU SEE THE ADDITIONAL GREEN AREA.
SO THAT WAS THE IMPROVEMENT THAT WAS MADE WITH THE ADDITIONAL ANTENNAS PLACED ON AN EXISTING TOWER.
UM, THE NEXT SLIDE IS VERY SIMILAR AS WELL.
UM, IT SHOWS THE A, A VERY GOOD NEED ON THE LEFT, THE PRECONDITION, AND THEN THE BENEFITS OF THE POST-CONDITION, UM, WITH THE UPGRADED ANTENNA.
UM, SO I'LL COME BACK TO THAT HERE IN A MINUTE.
BUT THAT SLIDE'S, UH, IMPORTANT.
SO THE PRIMARY GOALS OF THE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT IS TO, UH, BETTER ALLOW THE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION INDUSTRY TO ADDRESS THE WIRELESS SERVICE GAPS IN BRENTWOOD AND PROVIDE WIRELESS SERVICES, UM, THAT THE COMMUNITY DESERVES.
UM, ALSO TO ENHANCE BRENTWOOD RESIDENTS CAPABILITY TO CALL FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES WORK REMOTELY AND USE WIRELESS SERVICES FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES.
UM, IT ALSO CONTINUES, UH, OR TO CONTINUE TO REASONABLY RESTRICT ALLOWABLE LOCATIONS FOR COMMUNICATION TOWERS TO CONTINUE TO PRESERVE AND OR ENHANCE SITE SAFETY AND TO CONTINUE TO PRESERVE AND OR ENHANCE SITE AESTHETIC COMPATIBILITY.
SO THE APPROACH THAT WE'RE TAKING WITH THE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT IS TO, UH, RETAIN THE EXISTING TIER SYSTEM, BUT ADD A NEW TIER FOUR, A SUBCATEGORY TIER FOUR, AND THIS WILL ALLOW NEW MONOPOLE STRUCTURES, UH, NOT TO EXCEED 160 FEET, UH, SUBJECT TO VERY DEFINED CRITERIA.
UM, SO THE CRITERIA WOULD INCLUDE, UM, THE APPLICANTS MUST DEMONSTRATE A NEED.
SO THINK BACK TO THOSE IMAGES OF THE COVERAGE, UM, SO THAT YOU HAD, YOU HAD GAPS IN THE COVERAGE WITH THE PRECONDITION, AND THEN THEY'RE GONNA SHOW A POST-CONDITION, THEY'RE GONNA SHOW A NEED.
UM, THE OTHER THING THAT IT REQUIRES IS THAT IT GIVES US THE AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE A THIRD PARTY REVIEW.
SO THEY'RE GONNA SUBMIT A PROPAGATION STUDY SHOWING A NEED.
WE WILL HAVE A THIRD PARTY REVIEWER LOOK AT THEIR STUDY AND AGREE THAT, THAT IT DOES IN FACT SHOW A NEED.
UM, ANOTHER, ANOTHER CHANGE OR PROPOSAL WITH A TIER FOUR IS, UH, THE PROPERTY SITES WILL NEED TO BE OWNED OR LEASED BY A GOVERNMENT OR A QUASI-GOVERNMENT ENTITY, SUCH AS A PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT OR BY A RESIDENTIAL HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION.
[00:10:01]
PROPERTY TIER FOUR WOULD REQUIRE INTERNAL WIRING AND STEALTH AND CAMOUFLAGE DESIGN SUBJECT TO PLANNING, COMMISSION, REVIEW AND APPROVAL.SO THE IMAGE ON THE FAR LEFT IS A LATTICE STRUCTURE.
THOSE WILL NOT BE ALLOWED, UH, MONOPOLES WOULD BE ALLOWED.
UM, SOME DISGUISED TECHNIQUES MAY INCLUDE TREES, FLAGPOLES OR A MONOPOLE THAT'S PAINTED, UH, TO BLEND IN, UM, SOMEWHAT WITH A SKY OR WHATEVER.
UM, SO THE OTHER THING THAT'S GONNA BE REQUIRED, REMEMBER I MENTIONED THAT THE CURRENT ORDINANCE REQUIRE HAS A FALL ZONE REQUIREMENT, 110% OF THE TOWER HEIGHT.
SO WITH A TIER FOUR, WE'RE GONNA REQUIRE THAT THOSE TOWERS BE ENGINEERED, UH, WITH PINCH POINTS, SO THEY COLLAPSE UPON THEMSELVES.
SO, UM, THERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF A TOWER THAT HAS COLLAPSED UPON ITSELF.
UM, ALSO, UM, WE'RE GONNA REQUIRE THAT THEY ACCOMMODATE CO-LOCATION OR MULTIPLE SERVICE PROVIDERS ON ONE TOWER.
THIS WILL REDUCE THE NUMBER OF TOWERS WITHIN THE CITY.
UM, IT WILL REQUIRE A VISUAL IMPACT ANALYSIS.
UM, SO THE APPLICANT IS GOING TO, UH, PROPOSED SCREENING THAT TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE.
AND THAT PROPOSAL WILL BE REVIEWED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
UM, IT WILL HAVE TO MEET ALL CODES AND REQUIREMENTS.
AND, UM, IN ADDITION, WE'RE GONNA REQUIRE THAT THE APPLICANT NOTIFY RESIDENTS WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET, UH, WITH CERTIFIED NOTIFICATIONS, JUST MAKING THEM AWARE OF THE PROPOSAL.
AND THAT'S A THOUSAND FEET WITHIN THE SITE.
UM, SO THE COMPOUND AREA, THE FENCED AREA OF THE TOWER, UM, WE'RE GONNA, UH, REQUIRE NOTIFICATION OF, OF THE RESIDENCE WITH WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET.
UM, IN CONCLUSION, UM, THE PROPOSED MEETING SCHEDULE, THE NEXT MEETING WILL BE THE PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COMMISSION ON FEBRUARY 9TH.
AND THEN WE HAVE SECOND AND FINAL READING ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD.
DO WE HAVE ANY CITIZENS THAT WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT? OKAY.
WE'LL START OFF WITH COMMISSIONER QUESTIONS.
ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH, TODD, DO YOU HAVE, UH, ANY INDICATION THAT THIS NEW TIER WILL, UH, ENABLE, UH, COMPANIES TO ACTUALLY INSTALL MORE EXPEDIENTLY OR MORE THOROUGHLY THAN CURRENTLY? UH, STANDARDS REQUIRE? YES.
SO THIS NEW TIER FOUR WILL, WILL MAKE A NEW TIER, UH, A NEW TOWER EASIER, UH, TO GET APPROVAL.
IF, IF THEY SHOW THE NEED, THEY SHOW THE NEED AND, UM, IT ALLOWS THEM TO DO, DO A TALLER TOWER THAN THE EASIER THAN THE CURRENT ORDINANCE ALLOWS.
THE, THE REQUIREMENT THAT THEY NOTIFY NEIGHBORS WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET IS THAT IN ANY OF THE CURRENT STANDARD IT IS NOT.
SO THAT'D BE AN ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT OF THEM BEYOND CURRENT ADDITIONAL FOR THE T UH, THE TIER FOUR.
MR. TRAVIS, JUST ONE QUESTION.
THOSE ARE BREAK POINT THAT YOU SAID.
DO YOU STILL, THAT BOTTOM PART, YOU'RE NOT GONNA TAKE THE REQUIRED SETBACK ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP OF THAT, BUT WE TAKE IT TO WHERE THAT BREAK POINT IS SO THAT, WELL, WE'RE DOING AWAY WITH THE FALL ZONE, FALL ZONE REQUIREMENT.
SO TECHNICALLY IT, IT GOES AWAY.
I MEAN, THEY WILL HAVE TO MEET CURRENT SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.
SO THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THAT.
YEAH, THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT.
CAN I KIND OF FOLLOW UP ON THAT THOUGH? SO WHAT, WHAT SORT OF SETBACK REQUIREMENTS ARE ALREADY IN PLACE FOR GOVERNMENT, QUASI GOVERNMENT AND HOA? ARE THERE SETBACKS REQUIREMENTS? THERE ARE ON THOSE.
'CAUSE THEY'RE NOT SOMETHING WE SEE VERY, THERE ARE, UM, THEY'RE NOT, UH, SIGNIFICANT, IF YOU WILL, UM, FOR, UM, FOR GOVERNMENT PROPERTY THAT ABUTS RESIDENTIAL, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A BUFFER.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A BUFFER OF, UH, 50 OR 75 FOOT, AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A SETBACK OF, I THINK IT'S A HUNDRED FOOT.
AND THEN FOR, UH, RESIDENTIALLY ZONE PROPERTY, UH, LIKE HOA OPEN SPACE, UM, YOU'RE, IT'S PROBABLY GONNA BE MORE LIKE 35 OR 40 FOOT FROM THE PROPERTY LINE WOULD BE THE MINIMUM SETBACK.
BUT THAT'S THE BOUNDARY OF THE OPEN SPACE.
I I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GONNA SEE AN APPLICANT PROPOSE SOMETHING
[00:15:01]
SUPER CLOSE TO A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY LINE LIKE A, AN INDIVIDUAL LOT, AN INDIVIDUAL RESIDENTIAL LOT PROPERTY LINE.I THINK IT'S GONNA BE, IF YOU SEE THEM IN COMMON OPEN SPACE, I THINK IT'S GONNA BE, AND WE'LL SEE ALL THESE, CORRECT.
AND SO IF WE SEE ONE THAT'S, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TALL NEAR OUR HOUSE, WE'D BE LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? SO, BUT DO WE HAVE, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE OUGHT TO BE SOMETHING THAT SAYS THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO HAVE SOME SETBACK OFF THE, OFF THE, OFF THE LINE.
PARTICULARLY IF YOU'VE ALSO GETTING RID OF THE FALL ZONE REQUIREMENT JUST MM-HMM
BECAUSE TYPICALLY, I MEAN OUR, IN OUR REVIEW STANDARDS, I GUESS WE WILL HAVE, WE WILL HAVE THE DISCRETION TO SAY THIS IS TOO CLOSE.
EVEN THOUGH IT MEETS, IT MEETS ALL THE DESIGNATED REQUIREMENTS.
WILL WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO SAY THAT THAT IMPINGES ON THE OTHER PROPERTY? WE WILL, THERE WILL BE ESTABLISHED, ESTABLISHED SETBACKS FOR THE ZONING DISTRICT.
SO LIKE I SAID, UM, IF IT'S, IF IT'S COMMON OPEN SPACE WITHIN A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT, THE BOUNDARY OF THAT OPEN SPACE TRACK, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A SETBACK REQUIREMENT OF PROBABLY 35 FOOT.
BUT I JUST, I GUESS WHAT I WAS WORRIED ABOUT, IF FOR SOME REASON, 'CAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE PINCH POINTS ARE GONNA BE, BUT IF FOR SOME REASON THEY, SOMEONE DID REQUEST TO PUT ONE TOO CLOSE, DO WE HAVE CAUSE TO SAY THAT IS TOO CLOSE BECAUSE THIS TOWER ALSO COMMISSIONERS DON'T FORGET THAT THIS IS MERELY WE'RE, UH, PASSING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSIONERS.
AND SO WE WON'T BE AMENDING OR ANYTHING THERE ITEM.
YEAH, I JUST, I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND OUR PARAMETERS AS THE PLANNING COMMISSION.
A QUICK NOTE TO THAT AS WELL AS IF, IF THE APPLICATION IS GONNA BE IN A, A RESIDENTIAL HOA, UH, OPEN AREA, UM, OBVIOUSLY THEY'LL HAVE TO, AS A SELF-GOVERNING ENTITY, THEY'LL NEED TO WORK WITH THEIR HOMEOWNERS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING THAT'S GONNA UPSET THEIR HOMEOWNERS THERE.
BUT THE SECOND PART TO THAT IS, IN THAT SCENARIO, BECAUSE OF THE ZONING, THAT'S A, THAT ONE, THAT PROCESS IS ADDS ANOTHER STEP, WHICH IS TO BRING BACK TO THE ZONING ASPECT OF IT.
SO YOU GET KIND OF TWO BITES TO THE APPLE THAT'LL NEED TO RUN FAIRLY CONCURRENTLY WITH THAT ONE.
UH, BUT THERE ARE TWO ASPECTS BECAUSE OF THAT RESIDENTIAL ZONING.
UH, AS I REMEMBER TODD WAS SAYING THAT THE, IF IT WERE AN HOA AREA, IT ALSO REQUIRES CITY COMMISSION APPROVAL.
IS THAT CORRECT? IF IT'S OWNED OSRD? YES.
SO THAT KIND OF HELPS SOLVE THAT TOO.
THAT YOU'RE GONNA ADD TO THEM OR NOT? NO, SIR.
THIS, THIS PROPOSAL IS FOR A NEW TIER SYSTEM TO ALLOW NEW TOWERS TO BE LOCATED.
WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE OLD TOWERS? THEY'RE GONNA STAY THERE.
SO, SO IF THE EXISTING TOWERS WANT TO UPGRADE, THEY WANT TO ADD ANTENNAS, THEN THEY ALREADY FALL UNDER OUR CURRENT ORDINANCE AS A TIER TWO, WHICH IS A PRETTY EASY APPROVAL.
BUT THIS IS TO, THIS IS TO MAKE UP FOR GAPS IN OUR COVERAGE.
THIS IS FOR AREAS THAT NEED SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, NEED A TOWER.
WHAT, WHAT IS YOUR BEST GUESSTIMATE AS FAR AS THE COST OF THE CITY FOR THIS? WHAT HAVE YOU SET ASIDE FOR IT? THE CO THE TO DO, ALL THE CITY'S NOT GONNA CONSTRUCT THESE.
SO A TOWER COMPANY WOULD CONSTRUCT A NEW TOWER.
UM, THIS TIER FOUR IS REQUIRING THAT THEY BE PLACED ON GOVERNMENT LAND, CITY LAND, OR QUASI GOVERNMENT LAND, UTILITY LAND, OR WITHIN COMMON OPEN SPACE.
THEY HAVE TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH, WITH THE OWNERSHIP PARTY.
THEY HAVE TO DO A LEASE AGREEMENT.
AND SO THE CITY, I MEAN, IF, IF ONE'S PUT ON CITY PROPERTY, THE CITY'S POTENTIALLY GONNA MAKE SOME MONEY.
SO THERE'S NO COST TO THE CITY FOR ANY OF THIS? NO, THE APPLICANT'S GONNA BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE THIRD PARTY.
REVIEW OF THE PROPAGATION STUDY, THE APPLICANT'S GONNA HAVE TO SEND ALL THE MAILINGS TO THE RESIDENCE WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET AND PAY THE WHAT? NINE, $10 A POP FOR THE LETTER LETTERS.
COMMISSIONER, COMMISSIONER STEIN, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? SO, SO ONE OF THE, UM, REQUIREMENTS OR, OR CAPABILITIES IS THAT IT WOULD BE ONE TOWER, BUT MULTIPLE TYPES OF COMPANIES CAN PUT THEIR, THEIR, THEIR SIGNAL ON IT.
SO HOW DOES THAT WORK? 'CAUSE SO, SO WHO BUYS THE TOWER? LIKE THE FIRST COMPANY SAYS, OKAY, I REALLY WANT, THERE'S A TOWER COMPANY, THERE'S A TOWER COMPANY, THERE'S A COMPANY BUYS THE TOWERS AND THEN RENTS
[00:20:01]
'EM OUT TO THE DIFFERENT CARRIERS.DO YOU WANT YEAH, I, ONE MORE QUESTION, UH, TODD.
UM, THE, THE MOTIVATION IN PART IS TO MAKE THIS EASIER FOR COMPANIES TO INSTALL, UH, ANTENNA OR POWER POLES SO THAT WE'VE GOT ADEQUATE COVERAGE, RIGHT.
IS IT YOUR INDICATION THAT, I MEAN IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THE MAJOR CHANGE HERE IS AN ADDITIONAL HEIGHT ALLOWANCE.
OTHER THAN THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.
IS IT YOUR UNDERSTANDING THAT WE'VE HAD DIFFICULTY GETTING COMPANIES TO INSTALL ADDITIONAL POLES BECAUSE OF THE HEIGHT RESTRICTION? YES.
THAT'S CURRENTLY IN TIER THREE? YES.
SO IN YOUR CONVERSATION WITH COMPANIES, THIS WOULD ALLEVIATE THAT CONCERN AND ALLOW THEN FOR US TO HAVE BETTER CELL COVERAGE? YES.
IT'S BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO GET TALL TOWERS IN BRENTWOOD.
ALSO, THE OTHER THING THAT'S, UH, BEEN A HINDRANCE IS THE, THE FALL ZONE REQUIREMENT, THE 110% SETBACK OR FROM PROPERTY LINES.
SO THAT'S ELIMINATED A LOT OF GOVERNMENTAL SITES.
I HAVE ANOTHER FOLLOW UP TO THAT.
SORRY, I DIDN'T HAVE ANY ELECTRICITY TO LOOK AT THIS BEFORE THE BRIEFING.
UM, SO ON THE, OBVIOUSLY THE IDEA IS THAT THERE'S A NEED THAT, AND THEY HAVE TO SHOW THAT NEED THROUGH A VERY TECHNICAL ANALYSIS THAT A THEN BE LOOKED AT BY A THIRD PARTY.
AM I REMEMBERING CORRECTLY THOUGH THAT YOU ALSO, THAT WE ALSO DISCUSSED THAT IF THAT NEED SAYS YOU NEED 130 FOOT TOWER, NOT THE MAXIMUM, THEN WE CAN IMPROVE JUST THE 130 FEET.
SO IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE EXPECTING A BUNCH OF 160 FOOT TOWERS TO POP UP.
IT'S ONLY WHERE THEY'VE SHOWN SPECIFIC NEED THAT, THAT YOU NEED SOMETHING THAT TALL IN ORDER TO PROVIDE DECENT COVERAGE IN A CERTAIN AREA.
UH, THE, THE ORDINANCE IS ALLOWING UP TO, UM, ABSOLUTELY IF THEY CAN ACHIEVE THE NEEDED COVERAGE WITH 130 FOOT, THAT'S WHAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE.
I WANNA, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE LAYOUT, THE BEFORE AND AFTER? COULD YOU, COULD WE SEE THAT AGAIN? SURE.
I WANNA SEE WHAT YOU'RE GONNA PUT IN MY BACKYARD HERE.
I GOT, I THINK THIS ONE'S FROM THE, FROM RAGSDALE? IT IS FROM THE RAGSDALE ONE, YES.
THAT WOULD BE MY, DO I HAVE A MOTION TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE TO THE, UH, TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL TO THE CITY COMMISSION COR, CORRECT.
[1. Monthly Security Report - January 2026]
MONTHLY SECURITY REPORT.FOR THE MONTH OF, FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY, UM, WE HAD AN INCREASE OF $768,540 FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF 18,000,800, $11,525 AND 92 CENTS.
AND WE ASK THAT YOU APPROVE THAT AS PUBLISHED IN YOUR PACKET.
I MOVE YOU HAVE A SECOND, SECOND, SECOND.
[2. Board and Commission Reports]
AND COMMISSIONER REPORTS.WE'LL START OFF WITH COMMISSIONER BAIN IN THE HISTORIC COMMISSION.
THE HISTORIC COMMISSION IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE 15TH ANNUAL SARAH BAIRD AMERICAN HISTORY BOWL, UH, WILL TAKE PLACE ON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26TH IN THESE CHAMBERS.
UH, AT SEVEN O'CLOCK IT'LL BE HOSTED AGAIN BY THE WSMV METEOROLOGIST DAN THOMAS.

SO, UH, WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU COME OUT FOR THAT.
IF, IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TO ONE, IT'S, IT'S GREAT FUN AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU THERE.
THE ENVIRONMENT BOARD IS DOING THE FIRST WEED WRANGLE ON SATURDAY, MARCH 7TH.
SO, UM, THAT MEANS WE'RE GETTING RID OF INVASIVES, HONEYSUCKLE AND PRIVE AND WE'RE TARGETING CROCKETT PARK.
UM, THE TREE BOARD, FIRST OF ALL, I AM SO SORRY.
UM, AS PART OF THE TREE BOARD, WE UM, MONITOR TWO ARBORETUMS, THE ONE AT THE BRENTWOOD LIBRARY AND ONE AT DEERWOOD.
SO WE'LL BE LOOKING TO SEE HOW MANY TREES WE LOST AND HOPEFULLY WE DIDN'T LOSE A, A CERTIFICATION LEVEL 'CAUSE YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE CERTAIN NUMBER OF SPECIES.
SO ANYWAY, THAT WILL BE, UM, SOMETHING TO, FOR
[00:25:01]
US TO DO.UM, AND AS YOU HAVE LOST TREES, THANK YOU FOR THE WEBSITE.
YOU HAVE THE CITY THAT WILL DO TREE DEBRIS REMOVAL.
YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THAT ALSO.
UM, LOOK ON THE TREE BOARD ON THE WEBSITE FOR APPROVED TREE LIST.
IF YOU ARE REPLACING TREES SO YOU DON'T REPLACE IT WITH AN INVASIVE AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND NATIVE SPECIES 'CAUSE THEY WILL LAST AND BE STRONGER THAN OTHERS.
UM, AND THE TREE BOARD IS DOING ARBOR DAY AGAIN.
IT WILL BE MARCH 28TH FROM 10 TO 1230 AT THE BRENTWOOD LIBRARY.
AND, UM, LOTS OF VENDORS COME.

AND WE GIVE OUT ABOUT ANOTHER 1200 TO SCHOOL CHILDREN AT THEIR SCHOOLS.
UM, WE'RE ALSO HOSTING A TREE TALK IN APRIL ON HOW TO PRUNE TREES.
AND UM, THAT'S THE TREE BOARD.
THERE'S LOTS HAPPENING WITH THE TREE BOARD.
NOT AN ENVIRONMENT, NOT A, A TREE TALK, BUT, UM, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EVERY FEBRUARY DOES A REVIEW OF CPR CLASSES.
AND I WENT LAST YEAR AND IT WAS FABULOUS AND I LEARNED A LOT.
AND I JUST WANNA THANK THEM FOR DOING THAT.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? NOT DONE.
