A. Street Tree Inventory Progress - Phil Lind in Computer Services has fixed
our three databases to make the inventory use able. A big thanks to Phil for his
continued assistance.
B. Trees around Utility Lines - Donn Todt sent off for publication/pamphlet that
has not arrived; he will follow up on this.
C. Downtown Tree Subcommittee Report - The Parks Department is reporting
to Brian Almquist on the status of downtown trees this fall. Donn volunteered to
bring up the possibility of an experiment with a mat that appears to allow heavy
foot traffic, meet ADA requirements and allow for a larger planting hole which
would enhance the health and lifespan of street trees. The experiment would
be done in an area away from the downtown that would already be getting the
sidewalk cut due to sidewalk lifting.
Regarding the tree that started this issue, (Sweetgum in front of Senor Gator's),
Parks Department would like to address it this fall. Downtown Tree
Subcommittee will meet at Mark's house at 7:00 p.m., August 11, 1994 and
David, Nancy, Donn, Susan, and Mark will try to attend. Mark will arrange with
Jackie, Toni and Steve, the initiators of the issue.
