Summary
At its July 8 meeting the Holly Springs Tree Commission swore in Shannon Landon, elected Arbor Day and committee co-chairs and approved the May treasurer's report showing a closing balance of $43,736.74; several routine nominations and minutes were also approved.
The Holly Springs Tree Commission on July 8 swore in Shannon Landon and approved a slate of officer appointments, accepted the May treasurer's report and selected a yard-of-the-month.
Shannon Landon took the oath of office before the commission, saying, "I, Shannon Landon, solemnly affirm that I will faithfully perform the duties of the Holly Springs Tree Commission to which I've been appointed and that I will support and defend the charter of the City of Holly Springs as well as the Constitution and laws of the State of Georgia and the United States of America. So help me God." Landon was then nominated and confirmed as the commission treasurer.
The commission also filled leadership roles for its events and programs. Members nominated Matt to serve as Arbor Day chair; that nomination was seconded and approved by voice vote. The commission added an agenda item to select an Arbor Day co-chair, nominated Bridget for the role and approved her appointment by voice vote. Pamela, noted in the meeting as the Art of the Month chair, was assigned a co-chair role and Shannon was nominated and approved as that co-chair.
On routine business, members reviewed nominations submitted for Garden/Yard of the Month (submitted by Sabrina, who did not speak during the meeting) and nominated property referenced as 275 (described in the transcript as "Orchid Trail") for Yard of the Month; that nomination was seconded and approved by voice vote. The group also approved the prior month's minutes and accepted the treasurer's report for May 2025. The report, as read aloud by Landon, showed a beginning balance of $44,129.14, total withdrawals of $392.40 and a closing balance of $43,736.74.
All recorded approvals during the meeting were taken by voice vote; the transcript records members saying "Aye" but does not provide a numerical roll-call tally. The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn was made, seconded and carried.
The commission did not reference any ordinances, statutes, grants or contested votes during the session. Several items discussed (nominations, appointments and the treasurer's report) were routine administrative actions that the commission approved by voice vote.
