1. Notices, Rules, Etc. Bryant Slimp welcomed the visitors and staff members to the meeting.
Bryant Slimp asked the agenda items be tabled due to several members having church services
they need to attend. Bryant Slimp stated he would let the speakers speak, but technically, the
board was discussing code amendments. Next time they could be put on the May agenda if they
desired so the item could be addressed. George Tallichet explained there were two crepe myrtles
that were removed without a permit at 4123 Villanova. Mr. Tallichet would like for the board to
consider a code amendment to the tree ordinance that either makes the monetary result of a
willful violation of that code so punitive that the contractor would not commit the violation or
have the board establish a procedure for a hearing when a contractor commits the violation. Dave
Miller asked if Craig Koehl could provide information at the next regularly schedule meeting
regarding the classes of trees.
