Southgate marks Tree City USA milestone and issues community proclamations
Summary
Mayor Hamberg announced that the Park & Tree Board secured Tree City USA recognition (listed in minutes as the 21st year and 20th year for Growth Award); council also issued proclamations for Fair Housing Month and for resident Belle Ellison’s 100th birthday.
Mayor James Hamberg reported that the Park & Tree Board helped the city earn Tree City USA recognition and the Growth Award, noting what the minutes record as the "21th year" of Tree City USA and the "20th year for the Growth Award." The record indicates long-standing participation in the national program and acknowledges the board’s work on urban forestry.
The council also issued two proclamations at the meeting: one recognizing Fair Housing Month and another honoring Belle Ellison on her 100th birthday. These items were presented as ceremonial recognitions; no formal votes beyond routine adoption of proclamations are recorded in the minutes.
