During a recent government meeting in Live Oak, Florida, residents raised concerns about local infrastructure and community services, particularly regarding tree maintenance and power line safety. Hazel Hall, a local resident, expressed frustration over a tree on her property that had fallen onto her neighbor's land after a storm. She highlighted her attempts to get Florida Power and Light (FPL) to address the issue, noting that despite multiple calls for assistance, the company only performed minimal trimming, leaving the tree in a precarious position.

Hall's comments sparked a discussion among city officials, including Mr. Sessions, who confirmed that they had also contacted FPL multiple times regarding the tree's condition. He acknowledged the ongoing safety concerns for both Hall and her neighbor, emphasizing the need for a more effective response from the utility company. Sessions committed to following up with FPL again to expedite a resolution.

In another segment of the meeting, Mr. Wayne Tonka addressed the absence of a city lobbyist, noting that while the county employs one, the city had previously opted out of joining their lobbying efforts. He mentioned that the county's offer for collaboration remains open, suggesting a potential avenue for future discussions on shared interests.

The meeting underscored the community's desire for improved municipal services and responsiveness from utility providers, as residents seek to ensure safety and maintain the quality of life in Live Oak.
