Members of Bartlett's City Beautiful Commission reported the results of their spring plant sale and presented checks to city programs totaling $16,212.40.

Tommy Jean, identified in the meeting as the commission chair, told the board the volunteers worked hard and were proud to deliver funds back to the city. The commission presented $1,000 for landscaping at the Bartlett Animal Shelter (credited to volunteer Jonathan Walker), $4,000 to Public Works for new plantings around the Kirby Lakes Park detention area and $3,664 to Parks and Recreation.

"As of today, the total we have given back to the city is $16,212.40," Tommy Jean said during the presentation. Board members thanked the volunteers and residents praised the seasonal plantings that dress up main corridors.

The commissioners noted volunteers manage spring and fall plantings — including large planters along Stage Road — and staff encouraged residents to visit holiday decorations at Bledsoe Park. The presentation preceded routine business on the agenda and did not require a council vote beyond acceptance and public acknowledgment.
