e. The City shall promote the installation and establishment of drought

City Commission Regular Meeting · 2026-07-20 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed change to city policy regarding landscaping. The city is considering a new rule that would promote the use of drought-resistant and native plants. These plants would be chosen to match the area where they are planted. Once established, they would not need regular watering and would support local wildlife. This policy is currently under review by the City Commission. If approved, this could lead to new landscaping projects that require site preparation, grading, and the installation of native plants. Contractors specializing in landscaping, site work, and potentially irrigation system removal or modification could find opportunities. Early engagement with city planning staff or the commission could provide insights into the timing and specifics of future projects.
