Background and Discussion:
During the freeze event in February 2021 the non-native eucalyptus trees did not survive. On August 23, 2022, Commissioner's Court approved an agreement with Asakura Robinson Company, LLC to design landscaping that would replace the non-native trees with native species to improve sustainability and aesthetics.
