Description

12.14.2022 Trees & Public Greenery Committee

A

A

Okay, but I will call the wednesday evening before.

A

2022 meeting of the teresa greenery community [music] november meeting.

A

We have any correction to get us correct and, respectively in the changes, but.

A

um We have a motion to accept us.

A

Wonder if we would want to, we have.

A

Several from union street, we have two that aren't part of that project and.

A

You could take the broad street and the kensington road points out of water. The [music] um 457 broad.

A

Street, um it's um interesting, you can see it. um Anybody have any questions about that or.

A

When was very recently within the last few weeks and then like in the.

B

Description, uh it says that there was a storm that happened in october, so it was just kind of.

B

um We, for whatever reason, hadn't really seen that treat we picked up the damage.

B

That fell on the ground and then, by the time we addressed all the broken limbs and pruned.

B

It, what remained was obviously didn't seem sufficient enough to keep that tree around. So.

A

Any questions discussion about uh some 457 for us during the motion.

A

Direct line, removal or unemployment, hi, okay, 70 kensington road uh request for removal.

A

Actually, crew um better report on that yeah, so essentially we were made aware of a split.

B

Occurring on one of the major leaders of this tree before, uh though, there was a windstorm within the.

B

Last couple of weeks we went and looked, um and it was too late before that storm to to do anything.

B

And we were just kind of hoping that it wouldn't split during the high winds and it didn't so when.

B

We came back to do a weight reduction prune on that tree and, ultimately, what we're left with is.

B

um We've had to essentially remove that entire split end leader and upon our working there. We.

B

Discovered that there was a column of decay on the back side of the tree. That said so pretty.

B

Much with the removal of a third or more of that trees, photosynthesizing parts and canopy.

B

And paired with the column on the back, you figured it was appropriate. Any uh questions.

A

Okay, um now the um union street project- and we have.

A

Aj here I know that we have um david is here. I I just want to acknowledge.

A

How it was presented in the agenda, it says, featuring dave, defosis, yeah.

A

um Phil corbin with cma engineers, our consultant engineer on this project.

C

Right so uh just real briefly uh bill corbetts here, cma engineers.

C

We have been working on the university project for about a year now, uh it's a steward corporation.

C

Project, that's required by the extended creative epa, uh so this is mostly the utility project, but.

C

We're doing the street scrape at the same time and in doing so we're looking to um read the.

C

Sidewalks uh similar to what you've heard from me before, sidewalks that we can actually plow.

C

um So that kind of metric has driven why we're here today I want to let the pill talk about.

C

Sidewalk, what's road widths and all the other stuff, but you can see on the plan they're asking.

C

For four tree rules, I believe it is and the rest of the trees we've committed to try to work around.

C

So there are trees listed on the plan that are trees that may be impacted, but we're gonna.

C

um Do our most and not impacted opportunities, so uh with that international with bill, uh I.

A

Was remiss- and I didn't acknowledge, zach cronin assistant city, engineer everything but zach is.

D

Good, uh so sorry, thanks aj, but I'll just show you guys this so um just to show you the projects so.

A

Dave was provided, but basically the objectives of the project is primarily uh sort of a grain.

A

Of separation on union street, so the area of the project is uh union street uh between state.

A

Street and middle street, and that requires facility construction down one side middle.

A

Street to connect up to some distant utilities in miller, ave and then also the construction on cabot.

A

Street from middle street baptist court work on conference court, the brokerage there and.

A

Austin street and the the kind of the base bit of the project is union street.

A

um To austin street, but we're hoping to incorporate more of this project spending.

A

On how things come in uh so right and they've described it as uh it's very constrained over.

A

The environment, like many of the neighborhoods he's, worked with the public and the city and.

A

Maintenance to optimize roadway widths, sidewalkers, that's you can maintain, and so we are able to and.

A

Almost all cases provide five and a half feet of sidewalk with right now in union street between.

A

uh Austin and c uh we have grassroots on both sides that they're both very narrow.

A

Particularly on the um north side of the road, uh so when we kind of evaluated and went out.

A

Access predecessor here to talk to uh see which treatments we should really try to work around.

A

There was a couple, particularly at 273 and 130 union street, some large or oak trees, um that.

A

We really wanted to keep so that in order to fit the runway section that and the sidewalk standard.

A

Party eliminate the grass strip on the north side. We just can't fit that in and there's no we're.

A

Already up against trying to work around a couple trees there that may be impacted by construction.

A

So, on your little plan here we had uh green trees that were were comfortable, won't be impacted. We.

A

Have orange trees that are within the proximity? Construction, whether it's utility, construction or.

A

um Curbing and roadway and then we had red trees that will definitely get taken out.

A

um And then we've added at least two more trees. So the major impact right, um particularly getting.

A

Rid of the grass strip on the north side and then the rest of these are just because of the.

A

Proximity to service connections, homes, we have several water services that are right underneath.

A

Where the trees are and we've got to reconstruct and we connect to some of those points, uh so the.

A

Plan is to that there's not a there's, not a lot of great spaces too, and move trees.

A

We've shown a couple more now and if, if the trees that are shown in orange, we have four red trees, 11.

A

Orange trees, if some of those are impacted in a society that is best and they're not liking,.

A

To survive after construction, then, in most of those cases we can replace in that same location.

E

um uh But for the red trees there isn't an opportunity. There won't.

E

There won't be a brass river there's just other utilities,.

E

Are you going to maintain both sides, both the street with sidewalks versus.

A

Side, yeah yeah, so the whole right there will be um so there's uh 30-foot, kirby.

A

Curb width and then five and a half sidewalks on both sides and again there's grass strips.

A

Everywhere, except for that north side, movement stream, so that'd be the section.

A

A

Legal department and epa we've known that union street needs to be addressed well, I've known since.

A

1997. um that this is a it's a problem area and it's something that has to be addressed.

A

um It's something that's been thought about for quite a while.

A

um And it has been, it hasn't been done because it's not easy. That's probably.

A

The hardest, probably one of the hardest projects in terms of construction of the ice.

A

It seems to me some years ago we planted some of those trees, coupons.

E

um We can't do anything about that, but it puts me in mind of what happened.

E

Three or four trees.

E

Take it down a couple of years later, because the road rate was changed so um again. What.

E

I'm getting at is it: we have enough notice in advance, so we don't proclaiming trees.

E

Sure, if we, if we had a design, especially woodbury maplewood, we had a design knowing at that time.

A

That that would be potentially impacted at the time it was just a water. It was a water line.

A

Project and traffic calming and adjusting the roadway came about through public input.

A

So you know we would not have known planting trees up in that area was not appropriate.

A

um So please shoot yeah after the project was already completed, all right so that whole complete.

E

Street that kind of complete whatever into a much bigger project than we just originally.

A

Attended and since that time we worked, you know the the arborist program went from being you.

A

Know somebody who really just trimmed trees and cleaned up messes after school to actually a true.

A

Urban authority management group- and you know, with corn starting it and chuck, could now match.

A

um It's a very different um approach to the urban forest.

A

um And you know they are much more integrated every project that we do. We hold those guys in.

A

um So it's can. We do a better job. You know crystal balling and saying you know where.

A

There's a potential bypass going through this area, so we shouldn't plant anything there. Maybe if we.

A

Have a handle on you know what the long vision is, but you know sometimes it takes 20 years for.

A

A project to get done so do we preclude planting a tree and having 20 years of tree in that location,.

A

Because you know we're not we're you know someday, we may build something there.

A

I mean, I think it becomes a difficult situation, um but when we do know specifically something's.

A

Going to happen, you know it's yeah, it's a good idea. We do. I mean in the at least.

C

Short term and I'm talking about 24 months, we have a pretty good idea. What's going to happen,.

C

And we work with our owners to make sure that hey when we're going out hey. These are the things that.

C

Are coming up and I'm sure max email has only been here in this role for a couple of months, keeping a.

C

Test we've already had several conversations, so in that kind of conversation does happen.

C

But well, you know and we can kind of forecast where the wind's going but.

C

So the city council decides that they're going to find the market. So it's all kind of.

C

You know as and what peter said is, like you don't know if it's ever going to get built or not so.

C

Hope for the best and do you can second questions yeah, I have to say I when I looked at the trees.

A

um I just it was a head scratcher, you know and you get the residents to enjoy that and then you take them away. Yeah and.

A

In this case, uh you know the the elimination of that breaststroke really wasn't known until the.

A

Section is sort of changed throughout the design development process, so I think, anticipating that.

A

That was going to go away uh and through the process you know, went into everyone's basements.

A

And don't know what services are coming out, how do you go through all that? It's hard to really know.

A

What areas are going to impact and it was through? You- know, experience on on other areas and other.

E

Neighborhood roads, where they, the kirkwood, was really too narrow. It was a problem for residents.

E

um So we made some adjustments there, but that was through the kind of last year of.

E

Developing a project, thank you, so yeah. It's unfortunate that that's a newly a new tree.

A

That is getting impacted, but the trade-off of that was trying to maintain the trees on the.

A

South side that are mature, you know somebody screwed over there, and that was uh that was.

A

Balanced since those ginkgoats are so young this would it be possible to even try or feasible to.

A

Keep them and take it pick them up yeah. I don't I don't know they seem to be that three inch.

A

Diameter that starts yeah spot. I wouldn't say it's impossible. I think it's uh would.

B

Be certainly difficult to because they're very well established at this point, um if you even.

B

Dig up a proportion of material that that tree is currently set in. It would be just a kind of a big.

B

um It would be kind of unwieldy on some level too. uh There are specialty equipments that we could.

B

Potentially, rent and use to dig those trees up and they have to pick up an issue of those trees.

B

Can actually survive a transplant thing after having all those are set, so uh I wouldn't say it's.

B

um It's certainly possible it's it's probably just as a conversation. We.

B

May have to have uh our best route, for success would be maybe incorporating it's.

B

um Very specific nursery machinery that would help with that so yeah. So we think max what.

D

If we tried to uh bare root them right up out of the ground early in the spring.

D

Pretty tough yeah ginkgos are pretty tough we'd make a really big mess doing it.

D

um But I'd be willing to give it a whirl with you yeah. We can try air spading it too, and and.

B

Just kind of pulling it out, yeah, there's yeah that work. If you think, there's a good chance.

B

For success, we can, you know, do that together and see how it goes at the urban forestry center or.

B

Something I'd want to go back and check them out before we say we definitely can, because I.

D

Did you know, I noticed that we had planted them and now the project's on toughest I I can relate.

D

To dick's sort of point of the questions um and trying to keep them, but I'd want to evaluate them.

D

Whether they're worth keeping, I mean how much lawnmower damage and stuff at the base, because.

D

I I just didn't look at them that carefully to keep them, um but I'd least like to put that up.

D

Potentially, on the table dave, what's your timing on this project, uh we're hoping to bid the project.

C

In january and start construction in the spring, okay, so we'd have a look. We'd have a little bit.

D

Of a window before bud, breaks, frost is out of the ground, yes, and- and this may not be, this is.

A

An ad alternate portion of the project, meaning, if there's not adequate funds, uh it'll be done later.

A

Construction season yeah the the ideal time to do these would be you know: freezing cold rainy.

D

Muddy day in april- um and we usually get plenty of those, but it's just gonna- make a big mess.

D

And I just wanted to bring up the hawthorne across the hawthorne looks.

A

Like it's been here longer and I think it's a little more fractal.

A

Of course, when I looked at them, the two hawthornes, the one on the left to remove the most robust.

A

A

Had the two that one was the most stunning yeah.

A

I think hawthorne's perhaps could be a little bit more fragile.

A

I don't know it's the conversation that was uh given to max um whitney somerville and cody booth at 109., new york city importance.

A

We already in regards to our two beloved ginkgo trees outside 107 109 union street.

A

These trees are part of our home. They are what we see when we look out our windows.

A

From our living room, they are our indication of a windy day or a snow catching on the bar.

A

So the fall we wash their leaves turn yellow and anticipate when it will get cold enough.

A

For them to all drop in one go come spring, we observe little budding leaves that look like.

A

We have resonance walk by get excited about them, be marking how much they love ginkgo trees, which.

A

Are always which always makes us happy? Excuse me, these trees, as well as other beautiful flowering.

A

Trees on our on our stream make our neighborhood feel cozy and welcoming right home. The ginkgos.

A

Have slim trunks they're, not constructing the sidewalk, and we see no reason why they should be.

A

Disturbed uh connected work as needed, we will do what it takes to keep them healthy. They bring us.

A

Joy and we will be heartbroken if anything were to happen. Thank you. A bit of time and understanding.

A

It's at 109 union street.

A

But I looked in the photo and I think the sidewalks so I bought these- are the.

A

Healthy periods and um and an area they can use healthy trees, totally different.

A

Feeling about it and I did on piano way and um but.

A

Whoever is something.

A

And I'm sure that engineering is.

A

Well, um I think we're going to important.

C

I might be able to bump out the curve in that location around those two trees.

A

Yeah I mean providing the curve extension for the tree like there is on cabinet screen, something we.

A

Can do it's not uh you know from maintenance standpoint, but honestly, this wasn't one that.

A

Was identified in the rockets a high priority? Even that's. Why we're here to learn about it.

A

And understand the importance of it and obviously someone expressed that importance and I think.

A

You know whether we can make that accommodation. It sounds like it it it's in need of further shooting.

A

And I, in this instance, I I feel pretty good that we could, we might be able to accommodate it.

A

Because that isn't true for the right again, if you want to keep the rest of them on that side,.

A

Then you'll be using the ones on the south side. So it's right. What's the road with.

A

Now 30 feet or 20 feet. So I didn't actually say this when we were starting so at least.

C

Back this summer, I think it was august september. The trees are so important. The time identified.

C

You know what trees we definitely wanted to say what trees could go if it came to. So that's how.

C

We made decision to put the green strip on the other side of the street and that's kind.

C

Of the iterative process that we went through so you know we did kind of think about that.

C

Before we even started drawing roadways and stuff so um so I think that we could probably save those.

A

Two, if we limited parking on one side, just having narrow the road and narrow the road up to yeah.

A

Have you gone up against that with everybody from plowing the people are, most people are actually.

A

Prefer the road to be quieter than we have planned, um and it is a little bit wider today, but fair.

A

Etc, uh you know so these unusual accommodations. You hope that free survives during construction.

A

You're not left with some configuration and it's not ideal because it's not a.

A

It's not providing a pedestrian accommodation or anything else otherwise, but.

A

It's possible thank you, may be appropriate for the spot. So we'll take another question. I think.

A

That would be great yeah. I just have to point out that you know if people it's a balance between.

A

All their desires, you know they want parking on the street, they want it to be adequate. Sidewalks.

A

There's only so many things you can do with a certain world with, and you know yesterday, they're.

A

Great healthy trees, but it may be necessary to remove them. So I I just I want you know. I didn't.

A

Say yeah, I know that, but I just want people to understand that you know right residents ask for.

A

Multiple things and it's hard sometimes to address all those desires and keep everything. So there are.

A

Costs and benefits, there are compromises, there are decisions that have to be made that aren't.

A

Always popular with everybody, so thank you. We we've had that same issue in pan away and.

A

um We understand the balancing, and but in this case that balancing seems to me is much more.

A

Difficult and I see our role as I understand your role and I'll I'll roll- this, I think, advocating.

A

The trees- I appreciate that, um but I it comes down to it to a certain extent I may have to.

A

Advocate um more more forcefully in another direction, and I'm just I'm not saying that's.

A

The case here, but I'm just making you all aware that not every job, not every project.

A

um Is something that we can you know make accommodations for because of the bigger.

A

Picture of the project, um so I know that cloud drivers don't like to bump outs and um the.

A

I look at lots of cabot street where trees are concerned. It's it's. You know pretty neat that.

A

um It's a again a balancing test. Yeah, I'm parking space, probably got lost so yeah yeah.

A

So I'm just saying that there are multiple things that people are asking for. I did find.

A

The bug bounce has slow traffic by finding that more narrow streets and bump outs to be tropicana.

A

And I think that's a real value and people that live in neighborhoods that have cut throughs a lot.

A

We could look at making it one way through that section.

A

As well in that way, there's already a one-way section on youtube, so.

F

Yeah, sometimes trees become a race carnage.

A

I think where we, where we land, is that we still want to send us uh we'd like approval for the.

C

Tree and the other tree so we'd have to say we will commit to taking a second look at 107 109.

C

See if we can accommodate something, if we can't, we will come back next month, but approximately.

E

But again, this is in the adult two area, so they may not be fun.

A

Yeah is that the motion you're about to make.

A

um [music] And your discussion all in favor, why thank you for your time.

A

You know alex rod. Thank you very much.

F

A

Alex yeah, um and so everyone this is uh west road. This is the old.

F

Let's trampoline pilgrim: oh okay and uh we've been working with the new owner.

F

And one time that was recommended is.

F

uh That's probably everybody knows that was very.

F

Really fair, so anything you do is going to be an improvement to this.

F

And there is a kind of an aisle in right away.

F

On the west road that was encouraged to put some trees and some landscape.

F

So we came up with a design that was approved by planning board, with the condition that we.

F

Needed to post and go through this, we did have a lot of back and forth with max.

F

Trades out there and he would prefer the service.

F

um Because of the interaction there with other fancies.

F

So this has been revised plan with the serviceberry trees along the west road.

F

So you'll see an american set. You know this, this io hero on west road. This really has nothing now.

F

um I'll have with some nice effects here I don't know a lot of freedoms and five services.

A

Who took down those pin oaks on the far end of this picture? They're all gone everything yeah.

F

That was a couple years ago right, I think, yeah. This shows between now and then yeah.

F

And I think the new owner when he got out there, there's been a lot of work with utilities out.

F

There so I think that was part of it. Oh it's a mess. I think they could come out. Yeah.

F

uh So you'll notice on that on the plan.

F

um We have a lot of landscaping here on the sideline streaming.

A

Max are these good choices for support of birds and animals.

A

Yeah I mean well considering the location, I don't. I don't know if it's going to be a huge influx of.

B

Wildlife, but certainly I think there were a couple of of um elements that the the uh that.

B

The new owner wanted to look spring flowering, um it will attract pollinators uh and these get to.

B

About a 10-foot spread and maybe 15 to 20 feet tall, so at a certain point they will provide.

B

Decent shade for the parking structure there or the parking lot there and then.

B

Also, the road cell, I think it's a very good fit, especially under the power lines as well.

B

um And these are, you know we do service berries, you know for our own municipal plantings under.

B

Power lines all the time, so it's a, I think it's a really good, hearty pick for an urban environment.

E

A

um Right here it looks to me like it's, the.

A

Yeah they're plantings there, but then it looks like the uh romani maple. Is there.

A

Underneath it that makes sense, it does yeah that could just be a cat left over.

E

um But what's really there, you know you mean existing. No, what will it which one.

A

Of those will be because it can't be oh yeah. I think that it's true.

E

A particular maple.

B

Yeah armstrong.

B

um Is that that is that, currently there and then there's playing things to go in their.

B

Space, where it's being removed, that's what it appears yeah. I thought it was elected.

F

F

F

B

They are all over, so that's it's definitely a approved in our book.

A

The discussion questions.

A

I I know this is, I want to say it sounds like it is. The um comment of an old person.

A

um But um I still my my west road is a new project. Michael may, to see it then yeah, it didn't happen.

A

That long ago. But if you look at the difference between a project that it's through tech and.

A

The planning board now and what is taken into consideration, designing projects, public works.

A

And our whole city process and what was routinely approved when restaurant was done, which is.

A

40 years ago yeah and um you know, westroad was in this state of the.

A

Art road and it by today's standards, uh we've evolved, thankfully such a way that.

A

Sleep, it's not so great anyway. That's was. It was a random program.

A

A

Guidance if, if we had guidance, I mean rifles was sophisticated good citizen. They they wanted to do.

A

It none of us really thought about it. um So, but anyway so um can we remove a motion to recommend.

A

They plan this alex is present. I still loved seconds any discussion, all in favor, hi hi.

A

Let's have done great work.

A

Okay, the third thing on the agenda.

A

A

Please and aj.

A

And gave her a tutorial on evergreen identification and she thought that.

A

Would be an appropriate thing for robin? I thought that's a great idea. Unfortunately,.

A

I'm not sure that aj's sufficient time to prepare for it, and I and I'm thinking that.

A

uh I mentioned the max. This might be something some little five minute.

A

Thing at future meetings that informational thing like in this identification is this.

A

uh A webinar this afternoon on calling ages that I think that doesn't see, I think yeah.

A

Something like that would be interesting.

A

And so anyway, aj uh max, I don't know what um whether we need a little more.

A

Preparation for the evergreen identification. I thought it was interesting um proposal.

A

Track me down on this one, but uh unfortunately I have another.

D

Meeting I gotta dash to to the western part of the state, so I will be prepared.

D

For next meeting, if we could table this and push it off uh and we'll focus on, you know.

D

Some of our common evergreens that we have around on the seacoast area and I.

D

Can bring in some supplies and that kind of stuff and do a quick tutorial next meeting.

A

That's great: well, I guess the biggest thing out of orange. You know this committee is to go to.

A

The back side of the trade and I'm like I don't get it. I don't see much problems.

A

Especially the one in kensington that was just so awake as long as I got out and walked around.

A

So I appreciated that okay, so that is the next meeting um update from city address, uh maxwell.

B

um Yeah, I guess uh operationally we're still at uh maybe we're still down.

B

um The arborist technician rule has not yet been filled. You're still.

B

Taking applications, so if you know anybody who's qualified, please uh tell them to apply.

B

um This past month was it felt like nothing but uh decorating and taking the christmas tree.

B

Downtown, we think it's a really nice full-bodied yeah, it's yeah! It's a really nice looking tree.

B

um Aside from that, we're really you know we're just well, you know at other work, I was absent from.

B

The last meetings I went to connecticut to get my tree risk assessment qualification and uh I passed.

D

I haven't gotten my my packet or anything from the isa, but uh currently uh holding a tree risk.

B

Assessment qualification, so that's yeah thanks, I'm feeling pretty good about that. um Yeah! That's kind.

B

Of I think, that's bringing me up to speed, that's pretty much it so max. Is this the first time that.

A

You were totally in charge of the christmas tree um yeah. um It was a little stressful.

B

Because, typically, what happens is when chuck was here and for the three years two years prior.

B

I was the one cutting the tree and shaping it and getting it on the you know um doing all of the the.

B

Field work, if you will and chuck was behind the scenes making sure uh all the other things fell.

B

Into place as well, so the fact that I did it all I kind of got to see the other side of of how it all.

B

Operated and still went out and did the cutting, so it wasn't a dull moment. I actually felt.

B

I I drink a lot of water. I was really I was really tense. So but I'm glad everything went well.

B

um Yeah, it was, it was a great learning, um a great, a great opportunity to learn. So I think I sent it.

A

All I happen to be downtown when we were doing this. Oh since I took a video of it and I think.

A

I mean when it was flying through the air. I love the anthony.

A

Not to you know, talk down to that christmas tree, but it's a little bit smaller than what we've.

B

Done in the past, so it's the operation. um It went really uh well this time around, not specifically.

B

Because it was a smaller tree, but I think it certainly helped um in years past it. It felt a.

B

Little bit, um how sketchy is, but it just it takes it's way more cutting and there's there's way.

B

More to do as far as preparation goes, and it just went incredibly smooth uh this past time. I think.

B

It looks beautiful and it looks like it actually fits it does it does it? Does it's not over yeah.

A

So max is also a call this week for snow operations, so anything.

A

That happens falls on his shoulders, so I mean I'm looking over the world of brain.

A

All it takes is a little shift right next thing, you know it's just mixing and I think it's always.

A

A good time to always tell people that I'm sure everybody tunes into this under a great time.

A

But it's a good time to prune. Is that correct for city artists yeah for the most part, um we're going.

B

To try our best to get as we need, so actually we have a fewer transmute rooms that we were saving.

B

For transfer greens, if you're familiar kind of a they're a little bit heavier of a prune, we're kind.

B

Of really bringing back the canopy, um you know anywhere from like 10 to 15 feet in some cases, so.

B

A lot of our silver maples: we were waiting for um the middle of winter to do those prints, so those.

B

Are coming up and uh yeah, we I mean, obviously we can't fit all of our pruning in the winter.

B

Time, but uh when it makes the most sense, it's when our trees are a little are much older and.

B

um Would benefit most when having a big place this time around this time of season, so.

A

Yeah that picture in your mind, I recently saw a photograph of the christmas tree.

A

Probably one weekend it was in the middle of market square on the traffic island. Yes,.

A

Good any updated on that pin oak on south street.

A

um We tabled it last time.

A

Is that the one here evie looked at, we needed a boat on it, yeah yeah.

A

I can't remember said it would have to come back.

A

On the table, that's the one we looked at rapid control.

A

He didn't feel there was a significant impact to attraction right since then. The homeowner.

A

Took all those bushes out, okay, thanks, okay! Well, that's good visibility, so we could keep the trees.

A

There's still a still posted okay yeah. I wasn't aware of that decision. So I'll.

B

Go out and well, we haven't made a decision. Oh I'm, sorry, okay,.

A

So do we need emotionally we left it that we were not. We had not recommended removal.

A

That's it so the question: should we.

A

Or have a motion to get the formerly declined? Finally, not recommended.

A

So that's a motion gives me okay. Second, by dennis any discussion.

A

Big planting for the city's 400.

A

Our phs students, who have become very involved in the course of 400 of it 100 trees, have been.

A

Made available to the students, they are looking for some guidance on where the best place would.

A

Be to plant these trees, they have volunteers who can do the planting but you'll be available to.

A

Meet with us to give us your expertise, let us know when you are free late afternoon is good.

A

For them as school ends at 3 p.m, thanks peter- and uh this is from nancy cleveland and.

A

um Sit with our planning, which would be great because I know max, is you know, struggling to.

A

Find all places to put trees. So maybe that's a that's a response um that maybe peter and.

A

Max sent because nancy did just an email program about five months ago, saying I'm looking for an fc.

A

um So maybe we respond back and say, coordinate with yeah.

A

But I would be interested in yelling that too.

A

That frank has allocation funds for 100 trees. Are they assume that they are receiving 100 of.

A

The 400, I would assume they're assuming that they're working with us yeah, but you know we.

A

Will clarify but I'll check, but that that gives you you know a lot. I mean there's a lot of other.

A

Phones have property or succession planting um there's a lot of older trees that are coming down.

A

I think it's lovely, they want to be at home.

A

uh Do you have any old business.

A

A

Don't know how to put together a list, a group list, and so after my I don't have to consistent.

A

For three years, and um so when I used to just click in crazy brand new, they didn't write his.

A

Name on it so every month I do the agenda. I try to go through the table to make sure that I put.

A

Everybody and I'm working every month, I'm leaving somebody out and I love stephanie secret artist,.

A

Anyway, so um I, if I miss somebody in general, so.

A

Until they get somebody who doesn't listen, says his business button.

A

So are we I mean we should be also checking to make sure that she's getting agenda so.

A

You know I I was very good when alan brady, but I I might have one so our.

A

Okay, anything else. Yes, I just want to say that.

A
