Athens Shade Tree Commission - September 8, 2022
A
Great
thank
you
open
now
for
the
shade
tree
commission
for
september
8
2022..
Thank
you.
We
have
a
quorum
with
all
members
present
approval
of
august
2022
meeting
minutes.
Does
anybody
have
anything
to
add
to
them?
Nope
I
move
to
approve.
Thank
you.
We
have
a
move.
Thank
you.
Second,
all
in
favor
say
aye
hi,.
B
A
A
C
C
C
D
A
D
D
D
C
D
D
D
So
we
jim
and
I
actually
walked
the
site,
and
we
concur
that
there
are
places
where,
at
this
point,
it's
just
not
appropriate
to
site
trees.
We
would
just
state
that
in
the
future,
as
development
moves
forward,
that
you
may
have
some
erosion
problems
that
you're
going
to
have
to
deal
with
on
your
plans.
Sorry
once
again,
anal
three,
not
four
black
gums:
three,
not
one
shingle
oak,
so
you
have
31
total
you're.
Fine.
D
C
So
well,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
an
answer
to
your
erosion
question
and
so
forth,
probably
referring
to
the
hop
horn
beams
over
on
that
hillside
next
to
the
and
so
what
kind
of
used,
hot
corn
beans
from
the
standpoint,
the
kind
of
native
and
their
roots,
tend
to
grow
off
and
help
maybe
curtail
some
of
that
erosion,
although
you'll
probably
end
up
seeing
some
of
the
roots,
but
they'll
tend
to
help
hold
that
area.
So
it
looks.
C
A
D
C
F
A
G
Yes,
well
we're
working
away
helping
city
staff
put
together
an
application
in
response
to
a
new
allocation
of
funds
to
ohio
from
this
federal
grant
from
the
us
department
of
agriculture
through
odnr
for
re,
restoring
tree
canopies.
So
it's
the
first
year
that
ohio
has
had
these
funds,
and
so
there's
a
plan
now
come
work
together
for
planting
up,
I
think
100
trees.
That's
the
goal
to
plant
100
trees
from
our
tree
bank,
with
funding
for
planting
and
all
the
things
that
are
needed
for
site
preparation.
G
So
there
are
couple
different
parts
to
it.
The
main
part
is
a
continuation
of
the
pilot.
That's
happening
right
now,
with
homeowners,
planting
trees
in
the
right-of-way
partnership,
and
also
a
collaboration
with
the
arbor
day
committee
planting
some
more
trees
at
the
bus
stops
and
then
also
planting
trees
and
other
some
trees
and
other
city
properties.
In
the
general
neighborhood
of
the
east
side,
yeah.
G
We're
going
to
go
for
the
maximum,
which
is
25
000,
and
we
have
no
trouble
in
meeting
them
and
meeting
the
match
between
which
is
required.
50
50
match
the
city
has
no
problem
meeting
that
with
all
the
the
trees
from
the
tree
bank,
the
administrative
work
and
so
forth,
volunteers,
they're
volunteers
also
they're
going
to
be
working.
D
And
one
of
the
things
that
I
really
love
about
the
budget
is
because
we
have
the
tree
bank
and
we
can
avoid
paying
for
trees.
We
can
put
it
towards
maintenance,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
is
go
out
into
the
neighborhoods
and
do
stump
grinding
for
the
first
time,
so
that
will
free
up
areas
that
we
weren't
able
to
replace
trees,
because
we
simply
couldn't
right
away.
So
this
is
in
city
right
away
and
city-owned
property.
That
is
correct,
but
those
two
neighborhoods
have
pretty
big
right-of-ways.
D
F
A
B
Be
helpful
for
that
grant
process
the
commission
it
hasn't
been
released
because
they're
waiting
waiting
for
the
official
launch,
but
I
know
in
the
admissions
inventory
that
was
just
completed
the
report-
that's
underway,
a
big
portion
actually
of
sort
of
carbon
sequestration,
was
noted
in
the
canopy
here.
So
that
may
also
provide
evidence.
I
don't
know
if
that's.
B
F
A
A
G
A
Well,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
we
talked
about
with
the
tree,
canopy
grant
is
also
being
able
to
develop
educational
materials
through
that
grant
process
so
that
we
can
target
other
groups
after
the
grant
is
done,
such
as
the
neighborhood
right-of-way
project
that
we're
doing
some
of
the
riparian
projects
too.
So
that's
kind
of
they'll
be.
G
In
well,
let's
see
I
work
I'm
working
on
that
with
andrew
chickie
and
we
decided
to
wait
until
we
turn
this
in
and
then
we'll
hurry
up
and
finish,
but
all
the
pieces
are
there.
We
just
got
the
mayor's
letters
today.
The
proclamation
is
ready
for
the
arbor
day
and
we
hope
that
date
matches
up.
I
think
it
will.
G
F
A
B
A
D
B
D
D
I
guess
I'll
start
off
by
also
saying
that
we
get
our
trees
from
an
arts.
We
placed
the
order.
We
were
told
that
we
should
have
five
to
six
weeks,
but
because
of
the
uncertain
weather,
which
seems
to
be
holding
pretty
warm.
The
nurseries
are
very
concerned
about
digging
the
trees
when
they
would
normally
do
them.
The
second
to
third
week
in
october
and
they're
asking
if
they
can
delay
we've
said
that
we
have
a
preference
that
they
don't
delay.
F
D
D
D
D
G
D
G
G
F
A
D
D
Area
and
so
that
project
is
moving
forward,
it
is
going
to
be
based
on
some
grants
that
have
been
brought
in
from
keep
america
beautiful.
I
believe
it
is,
and
so
it's
still
in
negotiation,
katherine
ann
and
kevin
skrlock
are
taking
the
lead,
but
I
was
brought
in
as
a
consultant,
and
I
did
ask
that
when
we
have
a
tree
plan
that
it
will
come
before
shade
tree
commission
for
recommendations
and
approval,
then
we
have
the
neighborhood
right-of-way
project,
and
I
know
it's
just
too
many
trees.
D
No,
no
such
thing
right.
Okay,
so
the
idea
was,
is
you
know
we
had
had
people
come
and
talk
to
us
about
tree
canopy,
loss
and
opportunities,
and
several
members
have
toured
various
neighborhoods.
Jim
was
also
kind
enough
to
do
some
aerial
reviews
for
us,
and
it
was
decided
that
the
near
east
neighborhood
and
the
far
east
neighborhood
offered
opportunities
first,
and
so
we
have
a
project
where
we
are
going
to
be
contacting
neighbors
and
asking
if
they
would
enjoy
having
a
tree
planted
in
the
city
right
away.
D
Now,
of
course,
the
city
right
away
is
city
property
and
the
city
could
just
plant
a
tree,
but
that
is
not
considered
a
good
idea.
You
want
your
neighbors
to
be
happy
that
they
have
a
tree
that
they've
been
informed
and
have
some
input
into
the
selection
of
the
tree
and
that
they
will
help
maintain
the
tree.
So
if
a
person
wants
to
put
a
tree
in
the
city
right
away,
they
should
contact
me
at
m-a-l-e
hyphen
b-r-u
at
ohio.edu.
D
D
Correct,
yes,
the
city
does,
and
the
other
thing
that
I
need
to
say
is
that
we
are
interested
in
planting
large
trees
whenever
possible
medium.
If
we
have
power
or
other
utility
issues,
we
have
had
requests
for
small
trees.
We
will
not
be
doing
that
because
it
doesn't
add
to
the
shade
canopy.
So
I
think
that's
it
lots
and
lots
of
trees.
We
thought
we
used
to
have
a
big
tree
bank
by
the
end
of
next
year.
We're
not
going
to
have
a
big
tree
bank.
E
I
said
one
one
comment
on
that:
I
know
one
one
concern
that
was
raised
to
me
on
council
was
people
were
worried
that
we
were
just
going
to
plant
trees
with
no
regards
for
the
sidewalks
and
worrying
about
roots
disrupting
sidewalks,
and
I
was
assuring
them
just
to
reassure
people
if
you're
watching,
of
course,
that
will
be
taken
into
consideration.
We're
not
going
to
just
stick
trees
in
the
ground
and
assume
that
it'll
never
affect
anything
near
it.
So
there
will
of
course,
be
planning
that
goes
into
that
right.
G
G
Line
they're
going
to
be
soil
and
water
will
come
out.
Athens,
county
soil
and
water
is
going
to
come
test
the
soil
there's
there
have
been
so
many
visits
to
the
to
the
dog
to
the
bus.
Stop
shade
tree
project
from
many
people
in
the
city
to
examine
very
closely
the
needs
of
the
site
and
fitting
the
right
tree
with
sight,
so
not
to
worry
yeah.
A
Any
other
questions,
thank
you,
ben
okay
and
thank
jim
for
doing
all
the
mapping.
That
was
awesome
any
other
questions
about
projects.
We
have
a
huge
amount.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
work
you
guys
have
been
doing.
Thank
you.
Okay!
Is
there
any
new,
old
or
opportunity
for
citizens
to
speak
on
our
agenda?
Those
are
items
here.
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
A
B
A
You
thank
you,
and
this
follows
up
from
a
meeting
that
I
had
with
amy
dillac,
who
is
the
chairperson
and
looking
at
identifying
projects
to
go
and
do
collaboratively
and
also
other
things
that
maybe
we
need
to
do
in
the
future
too.
So
we
can
start
doing
a
little
collaborative
planning
and
stuff
too.
