Leesburg Tree Commission approves amended agenda, minutes and $250 ad; moves June meeting to June 24
Summary
The Leesburg Tree Commission voted to adopt an amended agenda, approve April minutes, reimburse a quarter‑page newspaper ad ($250) and move its next regular meeting to June 24. The actions were procedural and drew limited debate.
The Leesburg Tree Commission voted to adopt an amended agenda, approve meeting minutes and authorize payment of $250 for a quarter‑page newspaper ad, and agreed to move its next regular meeting to June 24.
The commission first approved an amended agenda that removed certain subcommittee items (subsections B and C of item 3), added a new business item for watershed riparian willow plantings, and updated the date of the next meeting. After a motion and a second, members called the question and the motion carried. "We have a motion to accept the agenda as amended," the chair said before the vote.
Members also voted to approve the April 22 meeting minutes after a brief clarification about corrected name spellings in the draft. Later in the meeting the chair declined to cover the cost personally and the commission voted to reimburse a quarter‑page ad placed in a local paper on May 1; the motion stated the cost was $250. "I made a kind of executive decision ... I went ahead and just made a commitment ... I'd like to make a motion to pay for it if it's $250," the chair said before the vote.
Finally, members discussed that the commission's next scheduled meeting would fall on June 17 (election day) and approved moving it to June 24 to avoid conflicts with members' election duties.
No formal appeals or motions to reconsider were recorded in the transcript.
