I'm
andrea

I'm
the
landscape

for
dpw
nice

I
A
Thank

jamie
and
then
you
know
we
have
our
regular
regularly

michael
kelly,.
K
And
giselle
hi,
my
name
is
gisele.
I
am
the
community
programming
coordinator
for
the
department
of
public
works.
A
Thank
you.
So
much
did
I
leave
anybody
out
and
if
I
did
my
apologies,
it
doesn't
appear
that
way.
So,
let's
move
on
to
the
approval
of
our
february
minutes,
since
I'm
speaking,
I
figure
I'll
just
say
real,
quick
that
my
name
is
spelled
incorrectly
on
on
our
minutes.
It
should
be
s-p-I-r-l
did.
I
E
H
K
On
it,
jamie
just
to
have
it
corrected,
it
is
j-a-y-m-e-h-o-l-l-o-w-a.
K
F
We
have
one
other
correction
there
on
the
american
society
civil
engineers
award
that
pwsa
got.
It
was
for
the
city
and
pwsa
jointly
on
a
project
that
was
the
stormwater
code
and
ordnance
update.
F
It
wasn't
for
the
mitigation
plan,
although
it
would,
those
will
fall
under
the
code.
E
A
A
All
right
and
maver
and
maggie
you
guys,
should
have
screen
sharing
capabilities.
E
B
All
right,
so
thank
you.
First
of
all
for
having
us,
we
are
very
excited
to
present
our
proposed
shade
significant
free
registry,
which
we
are
calling
the
remarkable
trees
of
pittsburgh,
and
this
is,
of
course,
a
pilot
year
to
assess
trees
on
public
property
and
see
how
it
goes.
C
That's
me
right:
maggie,
yes,
go
ahead,
chris,
so
yeah
we
did
a
benchmark
report
and
we
studied
11
cities
or
municipalities.
They
weren't
all
cities,
case
studies
throughout
the
united
states
and
we
had
one
example
in
canada.
So
what
we
did
was
we
gathered
information
on
these
case
studies.
Oops.
Can
we
go
back.
C
We
gathered
information
on
these
programs
with
those
attributes
that
are
listed
there,
so
I'm
gonna
go.
I'm
gonna
spend
a
little
bit
of
time
and
going
through
each
of
the
attributes
that
we
gathered
information
on
so
bear
with
me.
So,
first
of
all
the
objectives.
What
was
the
program?
What
were
the
programs?
The
significant
tree
programs
trying
to
accomplish
this
was
very
hard
information
to
find
in
a
lot
of
cases.
C
So
some
of
the
objectives
were
to
maintain
or
increase
canopy
goals
and
tree
protection
with
teeth
was
another
thing
that
came
up
and
then
common
to
nearly
all
of
the
programs
where
we
were
able
to
get
this
information
with
a
a
broad
kind
of
public
awareness,
objective
or
aim
so
kind
of
using
the
significant
tree
as
the
poster
child
significant
or
remarkable
tree
as
the
poster
child
for
urban
forestry,
fostering
connections
between
the
public
and
these
trees,
and
maybe
they
don't
notice
or
walk
past
every
day.
C
So
you
know,
I
say
I
said
the
poster
child
like
one
tree,
but
of
course
these
programs
have
more
than
one
trade
on
their
registry
and
they
varied
from
less
than
ten
in
ferguson
pa.
A
small
municipality
with
the
program
is
really
just
beginning
to
over
300
in
portland
oregon.
A
program
is
very
well
established
there
on
the
criteria.
So
what
made
a
tree
significant
or
a
heritage
tree?
They
have
various
names
for
for
these
trees.
C
So
there
were
the
objective
criteria,
for
example,
age,
thighs
and
species
and
with
species
some
of
the
things
that
came
up.
Where
were
they
particularly
rare
or
interesting
species?
Were
they
a
native
species
and
some
or
some
programs
had
exclusions
on
non-native
species,
but
that
was
very
uncommon.
C
C
Atlanta
were
really
interesting
case
study
because
their
program
was
entirely
based
on
the
champion
trees
model
but
applied
at
a
city
scale,
but
knowing
that
there
wouldn't
be
a
whole
lot
of
trees
in
the
city
of
atlanta,
that
would
be
say
an
oak
tree.
That
would
be
the
biggest
oak
in
the
entire
state
of
georgia,
so
they
applied
that
at
the
city
level
and
they
had
volunteers,
go
and
conduct
those
assessments,
so
those
measurements
which
was
really
interesting.
In
other
cases,
the
champion
trees
were
included,
but
were
not
you
know
the
only
criteria.
C
So
then
we
move
on
to
the
kind
of
more
subjective
criteria,
for
example
with
a
of
historical
or
cultural
interest.
We're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
when
we
go
through
our
proposed
criteria
with
the
trees,
you
know,
beauty
form,
structure,
those
kind
of
words
we
found
come
up
with.
It
was
a
tree
unique.
C
So
we
love
this
variety
and
you'll
see
in
our
proposal.
We
try
to
incorporate
as
much
of
that
as
possible
so
on
to
nomination
then.
But
70
of
this
of
the
cases
we
studied
were
nomination
only
and
and
the
nomination
could
be
by
any
member
of
the
public.
The
nominations
could
also
be
by
a
member
of
the
public
who
served
on
the
shear
tree
commission.
C
For
example,
there
was
a
was
a
forester
city
forester
and
then
the
the
twenty
percent
that
sort
of
fell
outside
of
that
group
were
automatic
selection
based
on
the
species
of
tree
and
its
girth
or
its
size,
and
those
cases
of
automatic
selection
were
mostly
in
california.
C
In
the
case
studies
that
we
looked
at
santa
rosa
and
san
francisco
and
all
had
a
like
some
kind
of
easy
online
form
that
could
be
either
downloaded
and
emailed
or
mailed
in
or
filled
online
fillable
online
and
submitted,
and
the
main
differences
with
the
forms
were
really
came
down
to
whether
the
program
was
for
trees,
on
private
property
or
included
trees
on
private
property
or
were
just
for
trees
on
public
property,
because
with
private
property
trees,
they
have
the
added
complication
of
probably
needing
landowner
consent.
C
So
I'll
move
on
quickly
to
the
selection
process.
That
was
a
common,
a
fairly
common
process
for
all
of
the
for
all
of
the
programs,
so
the
nominations
come
in.
Typically,
an
arborist
goes
out
and
does
an
initial
assessment
then
recommends
to
a
group
such
as
this,
the
chief
tree
commission
and
the
who
then
vote
and
then
sometimes
that
leads
to
approval
of
the
trees.
C
The
trees
go
on
the
registry
and
sometimes
a
higher,
not
necessarily
higher,
but
another
level
of
administration
or
governance
is
required,
so,
for
example,
from
borough
supervisors
or
the
planning
commission.
In
some
cases
they
need.
We
need
to
sign
off
to
get
the
trees
totally
approved
physical
recognition.
C
There
wasn't
a
whole
lot
of
information
on
that
and
it
seems
like
that
was
a
bit
of
a
factor
that
was
lacking
in
in
the
the
programs
that
we
studied,
but
where
there
was
physical
recognition,
it
was
typically
a
brass
plaque
attached
to
a
tree
or
a
brass
tag
with
a
number
and
digital
recognition.
That
was
really
you
know
the
way
most
programs
or
most
cities
were
really
putting
a
lot
of
their
focus
and
attention.
C
So
we
found
some
great
examples
of
websites
that
had
interactive
maps
that
highlighted
the
stories
of
these
trees
and
some
really
great
examples
that
we
were
able
to
use
in
our
proposal
or
to
gen
to
give
us
inspiration
and
in
terms
of
protections
and
ordinances.
36
of
programs.
We
surveyed
provided
some
legal
protection
within
code
within
city
code
and
50,
addressed
at
the
very
minimum,
some
kind
of
tree
maintenance.
C
So
that's
protection
in
this
in
terms
not
in
the
sense
of
legal
protection,
but
in
maintaining
helping
to
look
after
those
trees
and
protect
the
health
of
those
trees
and
they
typically
included
routine
inspection
pruning
mulching.
Things
like
that,
and
I
think
that's
probably
enough
for
me,
maggie.
B
Thank
you
me,
okay,
so
after
realizing
how
difficult
it
was
to
find
the
objectives
for
some
of
these,
we
really
came
up
with
our
aim
or
our
vision
statement
for
the
remarkable
trees
and
some
of
our
objectives.
So
we
really
aim
to
celebrate
and
protect
the
city's
tree
heritage
and
the
social,
economic,
environmental
and
human
health
benefits
to
current
and
future
residents.
So
we
all
know
how
many
benefits
trees
provide.
B
Specifically,
we
are
aiming
to
identify,
catalog,
recognize
and
protect
a
representative
sample
of
the
market,
remarkable
trees
of
pittsburgh.
We
know
that
there
are
going
to
be
more
than
what
is
initially
nominated,
so
a
sample
of
the
remarkable
trees
that
contribute
to
our
heritage
and
really
talk
about
the
much-loved
portion
of
our
urban
forest.
B
B
It's
it's
about
appreciating
trees
and
helping
people
to
notice
them
and
telling
their
stories,
which
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
on
our
website
portion
and
inviting
folks
to
share
their
stories
with
these
trees
and
kind
of
specific
to
us.
There
was
once
one
city
or
municipality
that
mentioned
this,
but
helping
residents
to
see
what
happens
to
trees
as
they
grow.
We
have
all
been
working
to
plant
more
trees
in
the
city
of
course,
so
this
will
help
someone
to
see.
B
You
know
that
red
bud
that
you
planted
or
that
was
planted
in
front
of
your
your
house.
This
is
what
it
could.
Look
like
that
tiny
oak
that
you
see
could
be
this.
You
know
mighty
champion
tree
to
use
a
not
technical
term
later
on.
So
you
know
continued
replanting
and
stewardship
of
the
trees
that
we've
already
planted
is
also
one
of
our
objectives.
B
B
This
year
at
least,
we
are
exploring
ways
to
include
private
homeowner
trees,
whether
that
is
through
the
actual
registry
or
submission,
but
we
just
think
for
this
first
pilot
submission,
for
you
know
a
section
of
the
website
that
just
highlights
private
trees
without
making
them
official
remarkable
trees,
but
we
just
felt
that
this
year,
with
the
nomination
process,
we
didn't
want
folks
to
nominate
their
private
tree
when
they
really
just
just
meant
to
submit
their
private
story
about
what
their
tree
means
to
them.
B
So
this
year
we
city
property
only
and
it
must
fall
into.
We
created
some
category
names,
a
pittsburgh
champion,
it's
one
of
the
largest
largest
or
one
of
the
largest
of
a
certain
species,
of
course,
on
city
property,
then
a
witness
tree
that
has
some
sort
of
historical
or
cultural
significance.
It
has
been
you
know,
watching
over
this
section
of
arsenal
park
for
years
and
years
or
is
associated
with
an
individual
or
an
entity
in
some
way
defines
a
neighborhood.
B
Perhaps
an
unusual
species
a
tree
with
an
unusual
tail,
something
that
makes
it
stand
out
in
a
specific
way
and
then
a
giving
tree,
that's
rich
with
wildlife
or
plays
a
key
role
in
our
ecosystem.
We
all
know
how
important
trees
are
for
biodiversity,
so
a
giving
tree
is.
Some
is
a
tree
that
specifically.
B
D
B
B
And,
of
course,
when
someone
nominates
a
tree,
they'll
select
the
you
know
what
category
they
think
the
tree
falls
into.
It
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
fall
into
the
tree.
That
or
the
category
excuse
me
that
someone
identifies
at
first
and
it
could
have.
It
could
be
in
more
than
just
one
category.
Of
course,.
B
Oh
sorry
about
that,
so
the
nomination
and
approval
process,
as
may
have
talked
about.
We
found
a
lot
of
online
nominations,
and
so
we
want
to
be
as
accessible
as
possible
to
the
community.
So
there
will
be
a
simple
form
online
housed
on
the
website.
B
Someone
will
dominate
the
tree
as
you
can
see.
In
this
little
graphic
and
after
nomination
there
will
be
a
period
where
we
will,
as
as
the
folks
running
the
website,
we
will.
The
only
trees
that
will
remove
are
trees
that
are
on
private
property
so
that
when
we
pass
these
trees
onto
arborists
from
the
shade
tree
commission,
they
are
only
looking
at
public
trees
really
to
make
sure
that
everyone's
time
is
being
used
in
the
best
way.
B
And
then
we
propose
a
subcommittee
within
the
sha
tree
commission
that
will
take
these
arbors
assessments,
review
them
and
select
a
number
of
trees
to
present
for
a
vote
to
the
entire
shade
tree
commission
and
the
number
of
trees.
We're
not
we're
not
prescribing
a
number
of
trees,
there's
gonna
be
five
or
ten.
B
It
will
be
based
on
sort
of
based
on
the
arborist
recommendation,
and
you
know
when
our
if
the
arborist
assessment
really
identifies
these
three
amazing
trees
that
are
going
to
need
more
support
and
more
time
from
city
forestry
to
continue
to
care
for
them.
Then
those
trees
will
be
the
ones
that
go
forward
and
will
move
on
to
next
year
and
for
all
the
nominations
that
we
receive
every
year.
We
will
contact
everyone
and
say
thanks
so
much
your
tree
was
on
private
property.
B
B
That
could
be
significant
or
remarkable
trees,
but
we're
not
selected
this
year.
We
do
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
get
this
backlog
and
then
we
add
on
more
trees
and
that
we
just
we
don't
even
get
to
review
the
newest
trees.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
has
their
gets
to
have
their
say
and
they
can
nominate
again.
B
And
talking
about
the
timeline
this
year
we
propose
launching
the
project.
On
arbor
day.
We
are
working
with
two
women
to
design
a
logo
and
a
website,
so
we'll
be
ready
for
that.
And
then
every
year
have
the
trees
be
announced
on
arbor
day,
and
that
will
also
be
when
registration
launches
for
the
new
or
nominations
are
open
for
the
new
year
and
we'll
have
a
deadline
of
november
30th,
which
will
allow
for
that
evaluation
by
the
arborist.
C
Sure,
thanks
maggie
so
yeah,
just
on
the
on
the
timeline
there,
we
do
hope
to
have
some
remarkable
trees
put
forward
for
approval
this
year.
But
what
we're
saying
is
because
we're
opening
quite
late
in
the
in
the
year.
Well,
it
doesn't
seem
late,
but
it
takes
a
while
it's
going
to
take
a
while
for
these
initial
assessments
and
conversations.
C
So
if
we're
open,
if
we're
launching
on
arbor
day,
we
still
would
hope
to
have
some
approved
this
year
and
but
hopefully
more
next
year,
and
so
that
brings
me
to
the
the
first
bullet
point
here
and
that
there
is
six
thousand
dollars
in
our
budget
for
assessment
and
management
recommendations
at
a
rate
of
120
per
tree
and
that
covers
50
trees.
C
Now
it's
a
little
optimistic
to
say
that
we're
going
to
have
50
trees
approved
this
year
or
even
next,
but
the
the
money
is
there
in
the
budget
and
so
just
to
you
know,
make
sure
we're
all
on
the
same
page.
This
is
for
when
the
trees
are
approved,
so
an
arborist
would
go
out,
assess
the
tree
and
provide
recommendations.
C
Now
those
recommendations
would
have
to
be
appropriate
to
the
criteria
that
the
tree
was
approved
under
so,
for
example,
if
we
had
a
tree
that
is
senescing
dying,
but
has
I
don't
know,
maybe
a
great
colony
of
bats,
the
it
the
management
recommendations
might
look
a
little
bit
different
for
that
tree
than
than
one
younger
tree,
so
the
arborist
needs
to
know.
That
is
my
point.
C
Under
what
criteria
was
the
tree
approved
health
and
safety
considerations
will
will,
of
course,
top
all
other
considerations,
so
the
city
is
going
to
assume
responsibility
for
implementing
these
recommendations,
and
just
you
know,
obviously,
as
more
and
more
trees
are
added
to
the
registry.
That
burden
is
going
to
increase.
You
know
on
the
city,
so
that's
something
for
us
to
bear
in
mind
and
think
be
thinking
about
in
this
very
early
stage.
C
You
know
some
of
the
the
conversations
that
we
had
with
other
program
managers
or
personnel
who
were
involved
in
other
programs
were
really.
You
know
you
had
to
look
at
the
long-term
sustainability
of
the
project
and
bear
that
in
mind.
We
always
look
towards
funding.
We're
doing
you
know
the
work
so
that
the
project
is
a
as
a
success,
legal
protections.
Then
you
know
again
based
on
the
information
that
we
find
in
our
benchmark
study
and
the
you
know
the
the
the
idea
or
the.
C
C
So
that's
something
that
we
really
think
we
should
be
working
towards.
Obviously,
that's
not
going
to
happen
overnight
and
then
in
in
discussion
with
with
lisa
city
forestry,
in
preparation
for
this
meeting,
looking
at
other
like
or
potential
conflicts
that
this
project
this
program
might
might
create.
C
You
know
in
terms
of
the
city
infrastructure
city
running,
do
you
mention
domi
and
zoning,
and
so
my
understanding
is
that
a
private
landowner
could
create
a
could
to
provide
reasonable
access
to
their
property,
can
make
a
curb
cut
and
obviously,
if
there's
a
tree
pit
there,
you
know
that
there's
a
threat
to
that
tree
and
we
would
want
to
make
sure
that
a
remarkable
tree
should
be
exempt
from
that.
C
Somehow
so,
lisa
brought
up
the
the
point
that
we
should
have
some
conversation
with
domi
and
zoning
in
this
early
in
these
early
stages,
and
then
our
program,
we
it
could
include
recognition
by
the
city
council.
In
other
words,
our
the
city
council,
could
officially
recognize
these
remarkable
trees
and
that
wouldn't
require
formal
action.
But
it
would
be,
you
know,
a
good
indication
of
intent
or
protection.
B
Due
to
you
know
that
is
through
the
art
commission,
but
we
would
love
to
see
further
recognition
as
time
goes
on,
because,
right
now,
you
would
have
to
walk
up
to
the
tree
to
know
that
it's
a
remarkable
tree
as
opposed
to
perhaps
a
sign
that
says
it
next
to
the
tree.
B
So
someone
walking
through
the
park
could
walk
over
and
see.
What
is
that?
What
does
that
mean?
And
then
that
will
spark
some
more
interest
in
in
the
tree
and
the
the
remarkable
trees
program?
B
Then,
of
course,
the
website
that
I
mentioned
and
we
both
mave
and
I
have
talked
about
the
interactive
maps
so
that
someone
can
go
on
and
see
the
breadth
and
depth
of
this
program
as
it
goes
on
and
find
those
trees
for
themselves.
B
But
each
of
those
points
with
these
trees
will
have
information
on
the
year
that
it
was
nominated.
You
know
species
and
a
bit
about
why
it
was
nominated,
then
we'll
also
have
a
pdf
of
trees
and
locations.
That
was
something
that
we
saw
across
many
programs.
Just
having
that
that
list
that
gets
updated
every
year.
Some
folks
might
not
be
able
to
use
that
interactive
map,
and
so
they
can
download
a
tree
or
download
the
pdf.
B
Excuse
me
that
has
those
trees
and
locations,
and
we
would
love
to
capture
tree
stories
with
information
on
each
of
these
trees.
So
the
folks
who
nominate
them
contact
them
contact
folks
within
the
city
to
get
a
little
bit
more
and
then
that
would
be
featured
sort
of
like
a
blog
on
the
website,
just
like
a
post
about
each
tree
and
that
will
of
course
grow
over
time.
Another
thing
that
could
grow
over
time
is
tree
tours
either
self-guided
or
in
person.
B
And
then
you
know,
as
time
goes
on,
perhaps
we
can
add
in
private
as
well
nice
to
talk
about
private
trees
as
well.
Then.
The
last
thing
is
how
we're
going
to
talk
about
this
the
first
year,
our
plan
for
outreach,
so
the
registry
launch
will
be,
we
hope
to
launch
nominations
and
the
registry
itself
on
arbor
day
this
year
april
29th,
and
then
we
would
collaborate
with
the
city
via
the
mayor's
office
and
neighborhood
level
planners
to
get
this
information
out.
B
B
Then
that
so
that's
launch
time
and
then
throughout
just
continued
use
of
partners
which
can
include
but
not
is
not
limited
to
at
all.
The
members
of
the
canopy
alliance
continue
promotion
on
social
media
and
then
outreach
to
for
tree
pittsburgh.
It
would
be
our
engaged
volunteers,
tree
tenders,
folks,
who
have
adopted
trees,
but
really
for
each
each
organization,
that's
interested
in
trees
or
promoting
trees
for
them
to
do
specific
outreach
to
their
most
engaged
audiences
to
get
that
further
help
from
from
folks
who
really
care.
B
A
Before
any
questions,
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
both
so
much.
This
was
a
really
thorough,
well
thought
out
well-researched
introduction
into
what
you
guys
are
going
to
accomplish
for
this.
So
thank
you.
So
much
and
now
I'll
be
quiet
for
a
few
minutes
and
was
anyone
like
to
start
with
comments
or
questions
and
then
I'll?
Let
you
guys
run
that
obviously.
A
You're
still
needed,
I
wanted
to
make
sure
nobody
else
raised
their
hand,
and
I
didn't
jump
in
if
someone
else
was
dying
to
talk
about
what
what
you
guys
have
proposed.
A
So
I
love
obviously
that
it
has
to
be
on
city
property,
and
I
also
love
that,
after
the
first
rollout
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
to
widen
the
you
know
space
and
make
it
for
private
folks
would
schools,
educational
institutions,
hospitals
that
reside
in
the
city
be
something
that
could
be
eventually
added
to
the
mix,
especially
since
you
guys
go
to
all
these
schools
and
plant
all
these
trees
with
one
to
one
tree
per
child.
B
Sure,
absolutely
private
property
of
all
or
property-
that's
not
owned
by
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
hospitals,
schools
anywhere.
Where
there's
a
remarkable
tree,
we
would
hope
that
they
would
be
included
in
that
next.
Rollout
awesome.
A
F
I
have
a
question
in
sort
of
like
I
guess,
relating
to
the
other
cities
that
you
looked
at
and
then
what
what
your
plans
are
here
for
this
was
it
did
you
find
it
in
other
cities?
Was
this
something
that,
like
you
know
the
immediate
roll
out?
It
was
really
like
banging
out
there?
People
were
throwing
trees
at
you
at
them
left
and
right,
and
then
it
dwindles
off,
or
did
it
pick
up
steam
and
slowly
get
more
popular
over
time?
F
I'm
just
kind
of
curious
what
the
sort
of
load
was
on
that
from
you
know
over
time,
and
then
do
you
have
like
sort
of
your
your
ideal
list
that
you've
got
in
mind,
or
are
you
just
going
to
wait
for
the
nominations
to
come
in.
C
Shall
I
answer
the
first
part
of
that
maggie?
Yes,
go
ahead,
yeah,
okay,
so
there
was
a
bit
of
both
on
james,
but
I
think
the
the
main
trend
was
a
lot
at
first
and
then
and
and
dwindling,
or
maybe
a
bit
of
a
build
up
to
a
lot
and
then
dwindling.
Unfortunately,
a
lot
of
these
programs,
the
programs
that
have
been
running
for
longer
have
gone
through
various
personnel.
C
So
you
know.
Maybe
there
was
one
arborist
who
was
really
championing
this
in
the
city
and
they
left
or
one
person
who
was
taking
care
of
the
database
and
that
person
left
and
then
you
know
so
there
were
personnel
issues
that
really
caused
programs
to
falter
and-
and
I
suppose,
just
maybe
not
taking
care
of
the
public
aspect,
not
taking
care
of
the
website
updates
and
keeping
people
engaged.
So
it's
definitely
an
issue
that
we've
seen
and
it's
definitely
something
we
need
to
be
thinking
about
about
how
we
can
make
this.
F
Yeah
that
was
sort
of
what
I
was
leading
into
was
like
how
how
is
the
sort
of
you
know,
succession
and
and
sustainability
of
this
program,
built
into
what
you're
setting
up
from
the
get-go,
because
it's
gonna
I
I
suspected
that
like
over
time,
you
know
there
there
may
be
some
waning
interest
and
if
you
know,
if
you're
not
really
promoting
it
and
getting
it
out
there,
it's
it's
tough
to
keep
people
engaged.
C
Although
a
lot
of
the
other
programs
did
not
have
like
a
non-profit
partner,
so
that
was
one
thing,
and
I
think
that
we're
you
know
we're
in
a
position
where
you
know
we
have
maggie.
We
have
all
our
other
staff
and
we're
good
at
that
promotion,
side
of
things
for
sure
and
the
public
engagement
side.
So
that's
already
a
plus
for
this
program
in
in
pittsburgh.
Also
we're
looking
at
you
know
not
putting
not
asking
one
or
two
people
to
do
all
the
work.
C
We're
sharing
the
workload,
we'll
probably
we're
talking
about
having
a
subcommittee
with
initiatree
commission,
for
example,
so
that
it's
not
on
one
arborist
to
go
and
do
the
initial
assessment.
So
that's
another
thing,
so
train
will
have
multiple
people
involved
and
then
also
having
our
criteria
so
broad
like
that,
so
that
it's
accessible
to
a
lot
of
people.
A
lot
of
people
have
buy-in.
You
know
in
a
neighborhood
that
doesn't
have
a
high
tree
canopy.
They
can
still
potentially
find
a
criteria,
a
tree
that
matches
one
of
those
criteria.
B
B
B
That
pattern,
I
think,
is,
will
help
folks
to
remember
the
program
and,
as
may
have
said,
continual
promotion
is
important
as
well,
but
being
able
to
launch
open
registration
and
celebrate
those
trees.
Give
folks
an
idea
of
it
and
those
three
stories
that
I
mentioned
having
those,
so
people
can
really
see
them
and
those
stories
can
be
shared
throughout
the
year.
B
We
would
be
since
we're
part
of
managing
the
program
that
driving
force
and
then
that
continued
marketing
toolkit
reminding
folks
who
are
who
have
that
interest
in
trees
to
continue
to
talk
about
it
share
it
on
a
you
know,
share
it
in
your
newsletter
on
a
quarterly
basis.
B
B
I
don't
personally
have
a
large
list.
I
have
a
couple
in
mind
that
I
love,
but
on
our
other
country,
pittsburgh
staff-
probably.
F
B
Yes,
yeah.
We
we
do
know
that
perhaps
this
year
there
might
be
fewer
from
the
general
public,
but
I
don't
anticipate
not
having
enough
to
to
look
at
and
perhaps
even
if
it's
fewer
folks
from
the
general
public,
it
might
be
a
little
bit
easier
to
suss
out
private
property
versus
ones
on
city
property.
But
I
think
I
think,
we'll
be
all
right.
A
B
We
don't
have
a
target
number
for
nominations
or
trees
to
be
approved.
We
we
don't
want
to
set
a
target
number
for
that
approval
because
yeah
what
if
we
don't
get
to
it
or
if
there's
six
trees.
How
do
you
decide
and
we
don't
have
a
target
number
for
nominations?
It
would
be
a
it's
a
good
idea
to
set
that
so
that
we
have
that
goal
that
we're
working
towards,
but
we
don't
have
one
at
the
time.
Oh
may,
if
you
have
more
to
add,
please
yeah.
C
So
we
didn't,
we
didn't
put
this
in
the
presentation.
Maybe
I
neglected
to
mention
it
in
talking
about.
You
know
the
burden
of
maintenance
on
the
city
for
these
trees,
and
you
know
it.
It
might
be
an
again
like
kind
of
coming
from
the
thinking
about
the
experience
of
other
arborists,
and
you
know,
city
workers,
and
these
other
benchmark
programs
or
programs
that
we
looked
at
in
our
benchmark
study.
C
It
may
be,
there
may
be
merit
in
suggesting
an
upper
ceiling
or
limit
to
the
number
of
trees
that
are
approved
every
year
from
the
point
of
view
of
being
able
to
maintain
manage
those
trees.
So
that's
something
that
we
can.
C
A
I
want
to
look
at,
I
think,
that's
great.
I
don't
know
why.
I
thought
that
for
some
reason
I
thought
there
was
a
a
number
that
was
being
geared
for
like
every
year
and
I,
when
you
had
said
it
you
followed
up
or
whatever
the
slide
was
by
saying
that
it
was
gonna,
be
a
lot
of
maintenance
for
the
city
and
that
we
didn't
want
to
create
more
work
for
them,
and
you
know
if
you
have
300
stars,
is
300
of
those
really
a
star,
so
it
was.
B
I
think
perhaps
oh
I'm,
I'm
sorry
babe
on
the
the
slide
that
when
dave
was
talking
about
our
the
budget
for
assessments,
we
did
say
that
in
the
budget
there's
6
000
dollars,
which
is
the
industry
standard
of
120
per
tree
times,
50
trees.
So
that's!
What's
that's!
What's
in
the
budget
for
after
approval
yeah.
A
Thanks
guys,
yeah
and
james
jim
berry
joined
us
at
9
23
at
the
ends.
I
also
wanted
to
ask
for
the
folks
that
weren't
able
to
join
us
today,
other
than
the
youtube
channel
and
watching
this
over
again
at
the
youtube
channel.
Would
there
be
like
a
powerpoint
presentation
that
we
could
share,
maybe
with
the
folks
from
domi
and
zoning,
or
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
or
anyone
has
set
up,
you
know
meeting
or
discussion
with
them.
Yet.
A
H
A
E
A
What
do
you
guys
think
thank
you
for
that
suggestion.
All
right
are
there
any
other
questions
comments.
G
H
Yeah
one
more
question
outside
of
the
powerpoint:
will
this
be
developed
into
a
manual
or
how
will
this
be
formalized
as
a
program.
C
C
That's
going
to
be
in
a
better
format
for
reference
and
for
sharing
than
a
powerpoint,
so
yeah.
I
think
that's
a
good
idea
to
formalize
decisions
and
put
them
in
a
like
a
pdf
document
or
something,
and
did
you
work
on
that
mikey
me
after
you
guys
have
your
discussions.
A
B
We
do
have
some
examples,
as
may
have
said
they.
A
lot
of
them
include
is
this
private
or
public
property,
so
we
are
gonna
have
to
from
those
we'll
be
able
to
suss
out
and
figure
out
from
there
what
works
best
for
our
program
and
then
the
nomination
form
will
be
online
when
it
launches.
B
So
that's
how
everyone
will
be
able
to
nominate
them
and
that
having
everyone
nominated
that
way
is
really
about
us
being
able
to
take
a
quick,
easy
look
at
at
everything,
and
so
all
of
those
paper
form
nominations
that
we
get
as
well
will
be
added
into
that
spreadsheet.
So
that
everything
is
there
easy
to
find
awesome.
C
A
So
then,
are
you
guys
looking
to
come
back
for
the
april
21st
meeting
to
present
the
formal
versions
or
how
did
you
want
to
proceed
forward?
Because
I
know
I
know
that's
the
week
before
you
know
the
tree.
D
C
H
One
possible
thought
is
that
the
you
know,
as
as
maeve
and
maggie
mentioned,
you
know,
there's
a.
J
E
H
Handoff
work
of
taking
those
sorting
those
forms
getting
them
to
the
shade
tree
commission.
So
does
the
shade
tree
commission
have
a
subcommittee,
that's
focused
on
the
remarkable
trees,
and
so
that
subcommittee
can
maybe
work
with
maeve
and
maggie
to
finalize
that
form,
and
you
know
what
other
any
other
issues
that
come
up.
It
can
be
that
subcommittee.
That
can
really
make
the
recommendation
to
the
larger
commission
for
us
to
approve
or,
if
needed,.
A
E
I'd
be
willing
to
help
as
well.
A
That
is
one
two
three
four
people
with
the
option
that
will
be
presented
to
our
commissioners
that
weren't
here
today,
but
I
think
four
sounds
like
a
good
number,
not
too
many.
You
know
folks
trying
to
come
together.
A
C
C
A
A
Right,
if
there
is
nothing
else
for
our
wonderful
guests,
we
can
close
this
portion
of
our
meeting
and
move
on
to
the
next
thing.
A
All
right,
so
it
is
10
o'clock.
We
have
a
half
hour
left.
Let's
move
on
to
the
report
section
of
our
agenda
and
instead
of
going
through
all
of
the
reports,
I'm
just
going
to
ask
if
anybody
would
like
to
offer
any
information
and
to
raise
your
hand
first.
K
I
think
it
is
at
least
on
my
end.
It
is
not
raised
perfect.
Thank
you!
Oh
oh,
okay,
sorry,
it
took
me
a
second.
Oh
no.
K
Oh
gotcha,
okay,
well,
hey
everybody
happy
st
patty's
day
hope
everyone
is
doing
well.
I
do
have
a
small
update
from
the
work
that
I
have
been
doing.
I
can
just
give
you
the
current
amount
in
the
patreon
commission,
I'm
still
working
with
the
different.
You
know.
Stakeholders
within
this
shade
tree
commission
to
get
everything
a
little
bit
more
organized,
but
the
current
actual
hold.
A
On
one
second,
please
we're
we're
doing
the
report
section
now,
so
we're
just
talking
about
trees
coming
down.
So
let's
hold
off
on
that
for
a
minute.
If
you
don't
mind-
and
thank
you
so
much
so
this
is
more
forestry
lisa.
Did
you
or
michael
have
anything
you
wanted
to
share
yeah?
I
have.
E
G
Just
basically,
they
were
wrapping
up
our
winter
pruning.
Ops.
We
have
a
few
short
window
left
here
spring
is
upon
us,
even
though
we
had
snow
this
week,
so
those
are
getting
wrapped
up.
That's
our
oaks
and
albums
and
then
we'll
be
moving
on
to
london
plains
and
our
other
larger
shade
tree
pruning.
G
The
other
thing
is
that
we're
working
on
our
spring
tree
planting
locations,
just
getting
approvals
permits,
are
starting
to
come
in
now.
You
know
just
looking
at
different
species
and
locations
to
get
some
trees
in
the
ground
through
forestry
by
the
end
of
by
may
1st.
G
I
just
want
to
just
put
it
out
there
that
I've
been
working
with
the
friends
of
melon
park
group
around
the
arbor
day
celebration,
that's
scheduled
for
april
30th
at
melon
park
and
just
stay
tuned,
because
I'll
be
sending
along
information
for
that
reporting
out
at
our
regular
april
meeting,
and
also
that
we
just
have
some
new
additions
to
our
webpage.
So
if
anybody's
interested,
you
might
want
to
go
onto
our
webpage
and
check
it
out,
but
that's
it.
J
We're
just
working
with
duquesne
light
on
the
the
follow-up
to
the
end
of
their
pruning
season
here
and
providing
some
feedback.
We
have
a
meeting
with
them
tomorrow
and
we
did
have
one
large
event
this
this
past
month,
where
we
cleared
a
number
of
hazard
trees
from
solway
in
squirrel
hill
and
there's
gonna,
be
a
mastery
planting
event
coming
up
in
the
near
future.
There,
oh,
and
we
are
very
close
to
being
able
to
to
complete
some
of
the
big
reforestation
projects
we
have
coming
down
the
pipeline.
A
That's
wonderful
and
exciting
to
hear
matt
did
you
have
anything.
D
I
well
it's
construction
season
starting
here,
so
we
will
have
chartier
spray
park.
Starting
and
we've
got
highland
park,
super
playground
in
construction
and
what
else
well
there'll
be
a
but
there'll
be
a
bunch
more.
But
opportunities
for
planting
talked
with
matt
at
tree
pittsburgh
and
just
working
with
lisa
and
michael
as
well
on
past
projects
that
are
are
good
locations
for
planting
as
well.
A
A
G
The
only
thing
I
have
really
to
report
is
on
the
frick.
You
know
on
the
on
the
fern
hollow
bridge
collapse
that
we're
going
to
be
working
on
a
reforestation
effort
there.
So
I
can
report
out
as
we
get.
You
know
a
little
bit
closer
to
that
as
to
what
that's
going
to
look
like.
G
A
All
right,
if
no
one
has
anything
else
under
canopy
impacts,
we
can
start
with
old
business.
Let's
see,
I'm
gonna
try
something
a
little
different
today
and
go
through
each
person.
Amazing
did
you
have
anything
you
would
like
to
talk
about
under
old
business.
G
A
E
A
A
And
and
jamie,
I
know
it's
been
a
long
time
since
we
even
talked
about
any
presentations
that
you
and
cuba
had
prepared
for
last
year,
but
that's
going
to
come
back.
I
promise.
D
Yeah,
so
we
just
got
the
bids
back
for
construction,
we're
going
to
equal
opportunity,
review
commission
today
and
then,
if
we
pass
we're
able
to
issue
the
the
contract
to
the
contractor
and
then
we'll
start
construction,
probably
within
the
next
month
or
so,
but
we'll
make
sure
that
that
gets
sent
out
and
and
residents
are
notified
as
well.
Do
you
live
over.
I
Yeah
I
do
and
I'm
actually
on
the
board
of
the
civic
club
there
so.
E
D
The
the
field
is,
is
open
and
will
be
usable,
but
the
park
and
or
the
playground
area
and
where
this
spray
park
is
going
will
still
be
under
construction
at
that
time.
So,
okay
feel
free
to
email
me
anytime,
and
I
can
provide
more
details
on
that.
Okay,
thank.
A
Thanks
jamie
jim
barrier-
I
think
jim
might
have
jumped
off,
is
james
still
on,
or
did
he
jump
jump
off?
A
I'm
thinking
they
both
had
another
meeting
at
10
a.m,
so
they
clearly
don't
have
anything
to
add
under
old
business
and
with
that
being
said,
if
both
of
those
folks
are
no
longer
here,
we
are
no
longer
at
a
forum.
A
All
right
so
for
old
business,
I
wanted
to
bring
up
some
things,
first,
one
being
our
meeting
density
schedule.
Obviously
this
is
something
we've
been
chatting
about.
Brian
had
sent
out
a
survey
and
there
had
been
a
couple
of
folks,
but
there
still
hasn't
been
everybody
voting,
and
you
know
our
schedule
is
the
same
as
prior
years
in
2022.
A
A
So
if
you
have
not
voted
yet
on
that
survey,
please
reach
out
to
myself
or
brian,
and
we
will
get
you
that
link,
and
that
is
all
I
have
for
the
meeting
density.
I
also
wanted
to
bring
up
the
meeting
location.
A
A
There
had
been
a
survey
sent
out
last
month
that
I
think
nine
folks
completed
if
you
haven't
completed,
or
you
wanted
to
share
your
thoughts
publicly
or
privately.
A
You
know
that
survey
is
available
as
well
as
email,
if
you
don't
feel
comfortable,
but
we
were
thinking
that,
since
we
are
the
city
of
pittsburgh
state
tree
commission
that
may
be
on
april
21st,
we
could
resurrect
our
city
county
building
conference
room
meeting
space,
and
that
would
be,
I
believe,
the
first
time,
nasine,
roy
or
cuivo
would
actually
enter
that
space
in
the
flesh.
A
Obviously,
privately
through
email
and
or
survey
link,
so
that
is
on
the
horizon
old
business.
Also
being
our
meeting
with
our
newly
elected
or
newly
installed
wonderful
mayor
baini,
we
have
been
having
some
subcommittee
meetings
and
I
will
send
out
the
notes
from
our
last
one
later
today,
but
it
would
be
lovely
if
we
could
invite
him
to
our
april
21st
meeting
in
the
city
county
building
and
have
him
be
a
part
of
it
nazine.
A
I
thank
you
for
adding
your
bio,
but
to
update
the
folks
that
weren't
at
the
subcommittee
meetings
we
would
like
to
have
bios
of
all
of
our
members,
so
we
can
put
that
on
a
piece
of
paper
and
not
have
to
necessarily
go
into
great
depth
of
our
history
with
the
mayor,
because
obviously
time
is
of
the
essence
and
also
share
with
him
our
three
big
things
that
we
would
like
to
speak
of
tree
equity
heritage
tree
and
our
priorities.
A
A
D
Kristen,
I
have
a
couple
questions
and
I'm
sorry,
I
I
missed
part
of
your
updates
there.
So
we're
meeting
in
person
from
now
on.
D
A
Lovely
to
meet
next
month,
you
know.
D
A
Our
tree
holiday,
it's
a
big
big,
you
know
april
for
the
tree
world
cool
and
I
know.
A
D
Okay,
that
sounds
good
and
then
would
you
mind
resending
the
link
with
where
we're
supposed
to
put
our
bios.
I
I
had
it
in
my
email
for
a
while
and
then
I
seemed
to
have
lost
it.
A
No,
I
will
totally
resend
that
and
share
it
with
the
people
that
weren't
on
the
subcommittee
too
yeah.
E
A
I'm
writing
that
on
my
list
I
will
resend
out
the
g,
the
google
link
for
all
of
the
sha
tree
commissioners,
so
you
guys
can
go
into
google
documents
and
add
some
information
about
yourselves.
Thank
you,
yeah.
Thank
you.
E
A
All
right
so
then
I
guess
we
can
close
down.
Did
I
get
to
everybody
under
old
business
right?
Nobody
had
anything
else.
They
wanted
to
chat
about.
C
E
A
And
giselle,
if
you
wanted
to
share
your
fun
process,
okay,.
K
Nothing
too
much
to
update
on
the
process.
Just
know
that
I'm
continuing
to
speak
to
everybody
that
goes
along
in
the
process
and
trying
to
come
up
with
better
ways.
We
can
communicate
with
each
other
and
make
the
process
a
little
bit
more
efficient.
It's
a
big
process.
It's
a
lot
of
little
little
moving
parts.
So
right
now,
I
don't
have
too
much
to
update
you
all
on.
A
A
Without
a
full
quorum,
obviously
we
can't
vote
on
anything.
Would
anyone
care
to
call
the
meeting
to
adjourn
at
10
15
10
14,
10
15.?
A
Our
meeting
will
be
adjourned,
looking
forward
to
seeing
you
all
in
the
flesh
next
month,
if
you
are
not
confident
about
that
or
don't
feel
warm
and
fuzzy
about
it.
Please
just
let
me
know
there
is
nothing
to
worry
about.
This
has
been
a
very
trying
time
for
us
all
and
if
you
don't
want
to
sit
in
a
room
with
a
bunch
of
folks,
you
don't
have
to
have
a
great
one
guys.
