- Recommendation to purchase Butterfly Park musical elements (Agenda item 4.4): The committee moved and seconded a recommendation to purchase one large butterfly, one small butterfly and a caterpillar musical element for Butterfly Park. The motion passed by voice vote; staff will seek City Council funding or include the item in the FY2026 budget.

Why it matters: The actions finalize routine committee business, recognize a neighborhood landscaping award and forward a capital purchase request to City Council for funding consideration.

Ending

Staff will act on each approved directive: post the Landscape of the Month recognition, record the approved absences in committee records and prepare vendor quotes and a funding request for Council consideration for the Butterfly Park items.
