2. Consideration re Appointments to the Tree Advisory Committee.

City Commission Regular Meeting · 2026-05-18 · agenda_item

This item concerns appointments to the City of DeLand's Tree Advisory Committee. Mayor Apgar noted three vacant seats, and four individuals applied. Two appointments, Mr. Kasbeer to Seat 5 and Mr. Gay to Seat 6, were made by unanimous vote. For Seat 7, Mr. Howard Jeffries and Mr. James Winter were the applicants. Mr. Winter, who resides at 1336 Tilapia Trail, was ultimately appointed to Seat 7 by unanimous vote after Commissioners reviewed scoring sheets. The Tree Advisory Committee reviews projects, and potential conflicts of interest were discussed regarding Mr. Winter's involvement with a project by CPH. This is a procedural appointment process, and no construction or development work is currently described. Therefore, there are no direct contracting or supply opportunities associated with this specific agenda item.
