“Would this preclude us from any type of enforcement that is legal or any type of prevention that is legal?”

“Other questions? Sorry, last one. Would that also preclude us from doing anything like gun buybacks or any type of thing to potentially? Gun buybacks we can do. Gun buybacks we can do.”

“Thank you very much. And yes, a very important issue, I think. I think if we're going to keep up with urban deforestation, we're going to have to plan in the right of way. If we want to create tree canopy, we're going to have to plan in the right of way. And I never really thought of it that way, that that would end up being a burden to us actually being able to plant. I was kind of thinking of it the other way. So I would love to hear on second reading what the cost analysis would be obviously now to taking maintaining those trees. but then in the future as we plant more. Because I just…”

“OK. You want another question? Just one last thing. it could there could be one additional option i know when we've looked into vendors they do come out and they plant the trees but they also maintain them for a period of time so we could retain ownership in the period of time it takes the tree to reach maturity and then give it to the owners i know that's a little more complicated but i know that's already somewhat of a service that's being provided by people who plant for us so”

“Thank you. If I could just add, and I know I've actually been briefed on what the county required or what was required for the property. Obviously, this ultimately ends up being maybe less than half of what was originally going to be kind of the public space potentially. with trails and whatnot. I don't know if there's more we can do with this trail, if it can loop, or if there can be more trail on this side. Or, you know, on the other side, if we could do the same thing. I know, obviously, there's some restrictions and limitations. I would just love for there to be more trail access. It's a…”

“Yeah, so then it just loops down this way. And that's pretty much the trail, right?”
City Commission · Aug 18, 2026
- Play at 1:49:25
“And the core issue is that we wouldn't be able to get approved another fence on the other side to be able to have access to the trail. That's the issue? Yeah. OK. I guess my only thought, not that I'd want to build more trail and have less trees, but just to maybe have something that looped or a longer trail or a greater experience for the public's sake. But yeah.”

“Yeah. If there was something that could creatively be done. If not, then, you know.”

“No, I agree. Especially like the external is going to be much, much nicer. It is great that people do get to experience it. I was just hoping they would have the other side as an opportunity as well.”

“Thank you. And yes, I just also wanted to take the opportunity to thank you and the board, particularly you. You've been very diligent at our CIP workshops. You gave a great review. I think a lot of people up here are in line with you and the topics that you discussed. Obviously, transportation, the building of Dante Fussell, things like that are all things that have been on our mind, and we've been trying to find creative solutions. If situations change from a revenue perspective, we're going to have to get even more creative. So we definitely appreciate all the feedback that you have here.…”

“Great. Commissioner Rodriguez? I'm good. All right. OK. Well, I guess I'll just close it up thanking all the departments for their hard work. I know this is a very difficult time of year, physically and even emotionally. I know how passionate you are about the work that you do and the projects you put in. Not every item gets approved, and that's a challenge. But we'll all work up here. to make sure that everything that we can do this year, and if things get messy, we'll get creative, just to be a team with you and make sure that everything goes through. So we definitely appreciate all of your…”
