I can show you someday or whatever. Okay. I could take a look. Well, okay. No, I agree. If it gets approved, we can make sure we get what he wants.
Please stand for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
I hereby announce that this meeting is being held in accordance with chapter 231 of the open public meeting acts. Proper notice of this meeting dates have been given to the Morris newsby Morris County Daily Record and posted on the bulletin board in Burough Hall. Roll
call, please. Mr. Mr. President, Mr. President, present. I ask for an approval of the minutes from the June 2nd, 2025 meeting.
Moving forward. Moving forward. Are there any comments from the public? Sorry. Vote on the minutes, please. Yes. Mr. Yes.
Yes, I know. I can't remember. I wasn't here. So, I'm sorry to think for a minute. You were there. The other one. Yes. Approved. Sorry.
It's okay. Moving back to the comments from the public side. Hi, I'm here as a resident. Okay. So, I'm here as a resident. I have a tree on my front property and I want to know the process. I have it is I'm
not sure if it's a town tree. So, because of the distance, I haven't measured and I'm not sure how that measurement works. So, I want to see if someone can come out and take a look at it. It's definitely has dead branches and now in the last couple weeks it started leaning toward the wires and toward the street kind of precariously.
Um, so I want to find out like who would actually do that evaluation? Who would come and look at the tree? So to understand uh the measurement from the curb, we could take a look at the measurement from the curb. So we would measure from the base of the tree to the curb.
Okay. And if it falls within the 10 ft, we put a memo through that. evaluate the tree. I have John from DPW also take a look at the tree prior to the forester to see if they can do something prior to
going to agreement. Okay. So, hi. Go ahead. Um, well, the question that I have about that is so the forester, you mean the person who the contractor that we are contracted with to remove the trees and
prune the trees, correct? So, shouldn't somebody else be doing that? John take a look at it first. If it's something that's concerning, if they can do it, they do it. If not, sorry guys. So, is John qualified to evaluate the
tree, whether it's come down, whether it needs to be pruned or maintained in some way that I don't know, like fed or Yes, they've uh John's gone through the training for the tree certifications. Yes. But is it up to date? Because online
it's not. If you go There's nobody on the sh commission that's currently up to date on their certifications. Okay. I'll have to find out um where John certification please. Thank you. Yeah, absolutely. There's no one else from the public. I
close the public uh section of the meeting. Moving forward to the budget uh 63,000 127 remaining. I just want to add something to this. Um from where we were in in the prior year to where we are now
here to date, we're at a savings of $14,000 from our new and restrengthened partnership between DPW shade tree forester. Very nice. Seeing as there's no communications
and move to the for that communication from you want to do that now. We're in good business. We can do it after. All right. Um going back to me 2533 June 3rd 34. uh locust tree that's growing into the
uh the house and the wires need to be pruned. It's a 24 to 36 inch prune 254 19 Walsh way maple trees growing into the wires that need to be pruned. Um that would be a 12 to 24 in
just have a question about that. So um And it's not to you, Dave, it's to the commission. So, last time I um had a question about what we should do if a tree is in the wires and um we talked a little bit about that and I spoke with
the JCPNL vegetation management person. Um he was really great and helpful. Um and I was told they have an online portal where residents can report if there is um a tree in the wires. and he said that one of their arbors will usually respond in 48 hours for that. So
my thought is that this should be the first step um that we do before we do any line work. Um and then I think we as a commission have to decide if JCPNL doesn't see the tree as a hazard to wire what criteria are we using to determine that it is and I think we need to have a
rationale because there are some residents who are very concerned about wires and we say no it's fine and other residents who are you know maybe you want to do that for depending on what we see. Um, the person from JCPanel did tell me that there's a little bit of a gray area sometimes when you're at the end of I don't know if I'll use the
proper terminology, the end of a circuit. So, if something's at the end of a street, maybe it's not a priority for them. That might not mean it's not a priority for us. Um, but I think we need to think about this a little bit more. And um so I'm hoping that maybe when we have some of these memos about wires, we
can first either ourselves refer, you know, call JCPNL or ask the resident to do that. I'm sorry. It's good because I have another memo that we do need JCPNL involved with. So it's perfect time. Yeah, maybe we could if we could figure out a way to do that. I don't know Mike
if you would do it or whoever and we could get them all lined up so we wouldn't have to keep calling them and we could just say these are the ones we'd like you to look at for this moment res have a question. I think the hard work on the other end is figuring out you know what are we going to say to the resident if JCPO comes back and says no
we don't think it's an issue we need to have a policy on that written down somewhere about what we consider to be a hazard as our shade tree commission and what we don't and I don't remember seeing anything like that in our old community forest management plan so I think that's need to put on our agenda as a commission.
Okay. And then the other thing with JCP now we have to determine if the communication wires or the power wires and they'll come back to us because they will not do anything for communication wires on there. So but again I think that's you know a great way to go start with them
work. Memo 253551 Burch. Uh DPW was able to take care of this. Memo 2536 70 Littleton Road um is not a town tree. I believe you spoke to the president already about that.
Correct. That's 11 and 12 ft from Okay, perfect. Memo 2537 5 mile part road. Um, I think we just need to clarify where the park ends there, where his property begins, because there is a tree in question, but it's right along um, he has a stone wall
there. The tree kind of sits like in the middle towards their side. Uh, I'll speak with the zoning officer to have him get out there and take a look. Okay, perfect. Can we can we just clarify? So, that this is the on the corner of Malardis,
right? Yes. In that little pocket park, correct? in this tree. If you're looking at that specific corner, if you're on the Mal partis side, that resident at five has a concrete kind of stone wall going across the side of his property.
And this tree kind of sits right in line with the wall. Um, it kind of looks like they kind of might have gone around said tree because it is a larger tree. Uh, so we'll have to have this on official look into that. I just want to say because I wasn't sure when I went there which tree it was because it just
said tree and there's a lot of trees there. I wasn't quite sure. Um there is a tree I don't know if it's on municipal land that looks to be almost dead and it's a large tree in the other corner of the park sort of caddy corner from the house. Okay. So back so backs up to the
resident of Littleton there. Uh yes or on their sideyard maybe. and it's large and it's uh one, you know, split and one side of it is completely dead and the other side is is not. So, I think we need a I thought it was that tree. So, maybe we need to do a memo for that. Find out where that is.
Yes, I'll take Okay, we'll have a memo. Um memo 2538 126 Branis Avenue. Um there are two dead trees on the lot there. One's a 12 to 24 in and 24 36 in. Um, but you don't have
I don't believe we have to do the stumps on those. This is the tree that that's in the attachment with the large branch that was uh hanging over. Okay. Is that behind their house? Where's the It's so There's
actually next to their house. Right next to the house. It's very close to the curb. Right on the other side of the wires. And No. Yeah, I I saw that. I just went and looked and I couldn't find it. So, I was confused. So, there's a long green strip that kind
of goes there. So, if you're looking at the strip this way, it's right here. All right. 2539 for Cleveland Avenue. Um, that is not on town property. 2540 corner of Brook Mountain Way. Uh
DPW took down the maple tree. Um it's a stump. This needs to be ground. It's a 24 to 36 in stump. I just I have a question about this. So, uh was this an emergency? I didn't understand why this tree was removed before our meeting.
I think it was removed because uh it was expected that Glen Brook Road was going to be paved. Uh, so since the DPW could get it cut down to have Dave do the stump before you get to the
paving before you might disturb the curb by by grinding the stump or before you might have equipment go on the new pavement mark it up. They worked together and got it done. So when is the when is it going to be paid? Is it supposed to John said he
thought it was going to be actually supposed to be paid in June but supposedly was supposed to start today, but I guess maybe because the weather they I don't know when they're going to start. I just I think you know it's important that we vote on things if they're not emergencies if we can. If it's something like this and there's really a problem
with the paving equipment, I think that you know an email notifying us as to what's going on would be the proper thing cooperation. I would think that you could trust people that work in the town to do it. I didn't say trust people who work in
the town. I know you obviously want to have an email on it and I don't think they have other things to do besides just send it out. So this memo was created by Councilman B and was communicated between him and John of DPW.
Okay. Well, uh I think that uh I have no issue with the Councilman Brunes pointing out the tree. I looked at the tree before it was cut down. It looked like it may have been failing. However, we're the Shade Tree Commissioners. Our uh
edict or our um our our charge is that we are supposed to vote, discuss in front of the public and vote before a tree is removed on public property. If it's an emergency situation or something else, then you know, send an email and say, "Hey, they're going to pave this.
Is you know, does anyone have a problem with this or or I just wanted to let you know we decided this?" But the business I was told last time needs to be done here in council. Well, it looks to me like it's not being done council. Things get done sometimes after the fact.
Well, who made that decision? What? Everybody does that. Who made the decision? Who made the decision to to do that? It wasn't our broom. Our broom didn't go and say, "Cut this tree down." I guarantee. No, he didn't. He didn't. John,
I I can say that. I spoke with John and John said they're going to cut cut pay and he said should it be cut down? Yes, he's cutting down because he knows something can happen from his experience. Okay.
And they have concert there every Sunday. I understand all this, but you know, you're one member of the commission, Frank. You can't do that unilaterally. It needs to have some sort of unil I spoke to a chair person. That's that's two people. That's not a quorum, right? Okay. Well, then vote no on that one.
Okay, that's all you say they wanted to vote no. What I asked is that when we're get bogged down in bureaucracy, Rob, let's do that. I don't think following proper process is bureaucracy. I think it's transparency for the public
and it's what's supposed to be done. If it's an emergency situation or something else, just send people an email. That's all I'm saying. I walked by the thing, I spent my time, the next day it was gone. No one told me. I had no idea why it was gone. It's in my district. No one even
emailed me. Doesn't seem that hard to do. Memo 2541 Court. Um the concern trees leaning. Everything looks fine. There's no reason we I'm sorry. Sh doesn't have to do
anything with this tree at the moment. 2542. This is 44 Silven Drive. Um, this should be put on the list for JCPN to look at. The tree is declining and the wires are power wires are rubbing against the trunk and should be removed.
2543. Um, looking to add some trees for planting. I think it's a good should add it to the list for discussion in the fall. 2544 Valley Stream Drive and Pack of Dead
should be removed. This is a 24 to 36 in tree with no stump to the ground. 2545. This is 33 Oldwood Road. A dead tree along the street. 24 in. No stump to be
ground on that one as well. Trow bridge road opposite overlook trail. There are two dead trees. Two dead locust actually. Uh 112 to 24 36 in for removal.
No stump grinding. 2547 34. road. Uh should be one prune behind the property at 12 to 24 in. I just had a wanted to ask you if there's a large I looked in the property
and there's clearly they need to pruned there because they're almost touching the guys back back. Yes. And good for the resident because I don't think anyone would have known if he had trimmed them what it's like back there. So I appreciate the character of coming and asking us. There's a large dead tree there that looks like maybe it's covered in ivy.
Did you see that? It It is. I saw it. I don't know if it's on our on our It turns out it's not because I did question because I thought it was ours, but we looked at the map and it's Okay. All right. It is not our Thank you for doing that. I did see that. That's what I thought the initial call was about when I saw that.
Me, too. When I drove by, I read it. I looked at Oh, yeah. Uh 2548 uh 69 Sycamore. Uh sorry, 69 Lemore. Uh there's a dead tree along Sun Valley by a fire hydrant that DPW can remove
and we might want to follow up maybe next meeting once they do that if the stump needs to be ground. 254930 Hawthorne Avenue. It's a locust tree. It's got a lot of dead limbs in it. Keeps falling over the street in the driveway. So it should be pruned out.
This is a 24 to 36 inch prune. 2550 10 Kazakowski. Um I didn't see any concerns. This tree is nowhere near the house. You were ringing the doorbell and no one came. Yeah, but I don't see where electrical box is. And then yeah, I don't So I don't see any issues
unless somebody else saw something. 2551 five Whitney. Um they're just calling about trees along the wood line there. Um I don't see that I'm sorry. Sh needs to get involved with anything over there. I don't think anybody else saw
No, I don't think is well within the wood lot. Mrs. called twice today. Okay. What's going to be done? This is the second time she said. Okay. I can call.
The tree is leaning even more. Uh 2552 53 Silvin. This is a dead maple on the driveway. We were there doing another tree and the homeowner pointed that one out. 2533 stump grinding on corner silver and bran. DPW remove the dead tree. That's a
12 to 24 in stump. 20 2550 for 59 styles. They complain about stuff falling up an oak tree, but tree is really clean. I don't think we have to do anything with it. I mean, I saw one or two little pieces, but does not warrant us going into it.
And then I think the last uh wasn't a memo, but was a follow from the worksheet at Road Park Pine Tree. So, we went up, we looked There is a cavity in the tree. Um, but I think we can cut the tree back and reduce the weight of the canopy. Um, I don't think we have to
jump the gun and start taking that tree down. But there's definitely is some decay. We got to take some weight out of it. Great. Um, I believe I think that's everything. If I missed anything, please let me know. That is it for the memos and the work
from the worksheet. So in total I ask for a motion to approve this amount of 8280. So move second Moving
towards old business. Susan, please. Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm gonna vote yes. I just want to have a comment which is that I would like to see our work us to work with Dave to
figure out if we could break down a prioritization of some of these. I know we're doing well in the budget and um compared to where we were last year. I I think that uh one of the things that we have been asked to do by the council uh I know Joan Garner had mentioned it last
year is to have a prioritization system. So, I think that, you know, going forward, maybe we have two months off. Maybe Mike, I'd be happy to work with you and Dave and see if we could figure out a way to do that. Whether it's I know the ISA has like that tree matrix,
you know, risk risk assessment matrix or some version of that that we might be able to use in order to sort of classify, you know, how important things are and then maybe we could the things that are lower priority that would allow us to save money um for them towards the
end of the year. So, wait a minute. You've got a a president planes and you're going to go there and you don't think it's that important. You're going to tell the resident you're not that important or you're that much risk so we can't take
care of this. Now I think when a person calls in they they should be addressed. I think that's our job here to take care of the residents. That's I'm sure the governing body wants us to take care of the residents. That's what they get elected for. So if they call in and we
find out that work has to be done, I would think we will look at it and we will do it. If we we can put it off, uh we we put it off. We had complaint just on that last one on the corner of Port Road. We said we we don't have enough
money. We'll put it on the list and we'll do it next year. And so here we are. I mean we do that, right? So, uh, another way of looking at taking care of their residents would be to be more thoughtful about the way that we're
spending their tax dollars. And a way to do that would be to classify the work that we're doing according to its importance. So, I don't think that it's fair to say I'm not in favor of taking care of the residents. It's a different set of values or different priority. I'm not saying we wouldn't do work that Dave
deemed was something that was an emergency or hazardous, but I think that when it comes to pruning deadwood out of trees that maybe that could wait until we have um you know better idea of what our budget's going to be for the year. I I I think that Go ahead.
I was just going to say Rob, what is your concern if there is an issue? Right. I get it. There's a risk to the public. There's all different types of risk, right? And then you have the the resident if the money is in the budget the forester DPW we all agree that the work
should be done why do we need to wait on it like I'm trying to understand why you're want to heavily rely on that matrix if we know the work has to be done right well I didn't talk about heavily relying words in my mouth for framing
things there what I did say is that uh I think that we need to have some sort of system of prioritization why the question you're asking because we've had budget overruns for at least the last two years that I've been here and we might have thought
about okay well why are we going 20 $25,000 over $100,000 budget there may be work that we can put off we might be able to do things differently so by pri prioritizing things that can show us that we don't end up in that situation where at the end of the year we have an emergency where we need to take down
trees that are leaning over playgrounds in the park and we've spent all our money doing pruning As far as I understood, one of Mike's goals for this year was to lower our pruning costs, and I think he's done a good job of doing that. I do have some concerns about uh the fact that we're not doing any kind of systematic
pruning, but um you know, I'm just one member in the commission, so other people can vote against. To me, it seems like prioritizing the work. It's also the way that it's done in the in the 2014 plan. If you go in there and look, you'll see that there's three levels that work has prioritized at. So that
also seems to align with best practice. I'm happy to do more research and try and find out. We could talk about their shade. I just think I just think that there we have to give I don't know what's in the matrix, right? Because I can't remember off the top of my head, but there has got to be a resonant component of the matrix that's added
into it. It can't just my my preference would be it can't just be about risk and you know what the risk is. It all also has to be a resident component of this as well because you want to do the work in a timely fashion as well. We don't want someone complaining about something
in January. Next thing you know, we're like, well, you know, it's November, maybe we can get to it now. I think that's got to be added into that. So, I would just ask if you're going to work on a draft of something that that be taken into consideration that other element. I think Dave would know better than me here, but I believe that risk
matrix or the ones I've seen they have, you know, one bar is for, you know, if the thing fell, basically how much damage it's going to do, but another one is what's the likelihood that this is going to happen. Um, and so I think that would be the sense of urgency that you're talking about that would be included.
Yeah. Time also plays into that as well, right? When you have a drought, right, something might look fine, it might be iffy, and then we go through the drought of the summer and then all of a sudden it's got to be taken out. So, in time. It will be interesting to see how this works out because I don't know the point
in time. It's a good initial barometer, but I think it's something that's got to be looked at continually through the course of the year, especially if it's getting put off. And Rob, we did go over the budget because we weren't
we weren't planning on the ashbor disease. We weren't planning on the beetles to invade and the drought. Dave said the drought was going to affect us and It has. We've had a drought now for two years. So that's that's why we went
over the budget because I was chairman. I like to defend myself. You know, I didn't waste it on a Christmas party. Well, let me let me tell you why we saving money. Because I was asked Dave to he used to go around and he used to
say, "Well, this should be pruned and that should be proned." And right now we're just doing if you see something or I see something or if the resident calls that we we take care of it. We're not doing uh ahead of the
curve proactive pruning. Okay, we're not doing that now. And that will probably catch up. And if you go to the last community forestry management plan and look I will just read one state one
thing. The management goal of any municipal shade tree program would be to prune the entire population tree population on at least a 10year rotational cycle. Okay? So you can try to cut all the
money you want, but if you don't do it when those when you have that crisis, you'll you'll you'll see what a crisis is when you have a big storm if you don't do it properly. And we're not doing the 10-year prune cycle this year.
We aren't because we're trying to cut the budget. And so, but that is okay. You can do that for a year, but down the road it's going to catch up to you. Yeah, I mean I guess we would have to have a longer discussion about pruning, but I agree with you. We should be doing
rotational pruning and I agree with you when I read that that's a lot of trees and it even says in there that, you know, that's going to be a big outlay. Um, so we'd have to think about that. That's part of the reason um later in the evening I want to talk about why I think we should get a new plan to help
us think about how to budget for those. So, Yes. Yes. There's still a vote on the floor, right? No. No, it's done. It's done. This is forers report just passed. Moving
forward to old business. I'm sorry, Mike. I just have a question to go back to our conversation in May. Did you talk to DPW to get a record of the trees that they removed? Is this your Yes, they're working on a record for May. Okay. When you get that, can we update
the worksheet and it still says four trees there? Sure. Thanks. I I would like to to Michael talk about this communication we had from a engineering. Uh, as you know, they uh put built warehouses on 53 and
one of those one of the uh things was they were supposed to put trees on the avenue. So, uh they've been, I guess, nudged a little bit and they presented a plan to put 18 trees on that avenue. Uh we we sent them
a letter in 2023 requesting trees. They uh they according to they're putting a little different trees than what we normally put. put I silk Japanese tree there which are beautiful trees and I
would like to make a motion hopefully get a second that move that chairman Lombardi shall communicate to Langon Engineer that we accept their planting and and that they
should request that they proceed with this planning with this project. Second. I mean, this is I have I have no awareness of this before this meeting. I've never seen this. Uh is it they're not going to be planning till the fall
anyway, right? Presumably, that's the time to plant, but they need they they set those in. They need to get their forester geared up uh to make sure he has those uh trees. And uh I I don't
see why uh why there's any hold up. Normally, they wouldn't except instead of putting uh pear trees, they're putting these other trees. And a lot of people think that's a good thing. Some people don't, but we're going to see if we can try it. I mean, picture of the
trees. Absolutely beautiful. So, can I ask is this under was this like under a contract or a plan that has already been approved to plant white flowering trees so that we wouldn't have a say in what kind of trees requesting that John pair white
flowering trees. Okay, that's what's on the rest of the [Music] a Now come back to the shade tree to ask basically can we plant these trees as opposed to trying to clear. I have no
problem. I think they're great trees. They look wonderful and uh I think it'll it'll it'll it'll improve the area. Got 18 more trees cost the town zero. So I'm not saying I'm against this at all. Just uh this this looks like this
memo was received July 9th. Um, and I had never seen it before when I walked in here. No one. No one has until tonight. I'd like a little bit of time to It was only received in the office on Thursday. Had I sent it and mailed it to everyone because I can't scan it, he may
not have gotten it in time for the meeting. So, I spoke to Mr. Lombardi who said, "Please bring it to the meeting." Thank you. Well, I think you should approve it myself. If you don't approve it, you're going to Well, wait until September. You
have no other meeting till September. You may not get the trees planted. Okay. Trees. I'm here to plant trees. That's why I want to sh What's your objection? We need to take a
I mean, I haven't I I I don't like to vote on things that I just see. I don't I haven't had time to look at the plan. I haven't had time to prepare. I don't know anything about the species or tree. The thing is they were going to put in the trees anyway. They're just saying instead of those trees, want these trees. That's that's the decision. Are
you okay with the only decision is are we okay with them swapping out the trees that they have? That's what I was trying to ask, Frank. So, this is already decided in the site plan that it's white flower. Correct. We're just asking. Well, there's nothing we there's nothing we can we can change that anyway legally because it's already approved.
Okay. Thanks for clarifying. This is the tree if anybody What's your name again? Is it an invasive species in New Jersey? Japanese lilac. Japanese lilac. Yeah.
Not invasive. Ivory lilac. It's not native, right? You can look at it. Sure. So since there was a motion and a second, can you take a roll call on this, please?
Mrs. Dy, yes. Mr. Drew, yes. Mr. Lardi, yes. Mr. Mier, abstain. Mr. Chairman, I do have another motion I would like to put on the table here.
Sure. I'd like to move that chairman Lombardi shall meet with the burough grant writer and request that uh he apply for a New Jersey urban and community forest management plan, Green Acres Community Grant.
Is this my old business motion, Frank, that you're putting forward? I don't know whether it's your old business motion or not. It's a little different than yours. Uh this other one that's here, but uh I moved it. I guess it dies.
Second. Yes. Mr. Yes. Mr. Yes. Mr. I don't know what I'm even voting on because I was never told about this. Basically, we talked about it uh last
time. Um you even put the motion on. It's similar to that motion uh that I guess you put on here. I don't know. Last time I didn't have the uh we didn't I didn't get this until after the meeting. Once I saw it, it was the same
similar if not exactly the same thing that was done maybe 10 years ago and I think it's a good thing to do and I'm glad you brought it up. Well, great. Thanks. Well, that's what we're voting on. I think the name of the grant is the green communities grant technically,
just so we're clear on that. Um I believe for what the green it's a green community grant but it's for it's for the management plan green acres community urban and community forestry management plan green communities grant great as long as it's the same grant I
proposed last time I will vote yes Yes. Seeing as the old business section is closed, I move on to new business. Does anyone have any new business? I do have
business here in that falls under suggestions. In 2025 it says spring but really didn't get down
it says one tree at sunset road it says 15set and I didn't go on sunset road and it should be strike out one tree at sunset road and put in 15 sunset
And I think you should also put in 11 birch, not as an alternate, but as if it definitely needs it. You said Sunset Road 15 15 Sunset Road,
11 Birch Drive, moving from alternatives to the suggested list. Okay. And also add five beach drive. If you remember the resident came our last meeting
and we had cut the tree down there. That tree is under the wire. So that consideration and add also 52 Glen Brook Road. That's the one that Rob said was a dead tree and the road guys removed that dead
tree. Was it not dead tree? I thought it was dead. It was dead, right? It's as dead as can be. Okay. So for for this one, we'll just have to since that was in an area we don't plant anymore, we'll have to make sure it's on the other side of the strip.
We'll have to measure a 10 foot radius and ensure we can get that in. As long as we're on that, Mary, can I just ask about the trees that you were you said you wanted to plant on the corner of Jqu. Could you just tell me the I went and looked, but I just wasn't
quite sure exactly where you were thinking. The ugly strip that's all weird's on the side of laboratory. The parking like next to the right. Well, there's two areas if you if you make a left or whatever right onto Jake line. There's a whole strip we plant I
think we planted one tree there maybe before. There's a whole strip that's barren. There's also depending on where one place the trees on the further down there was a tree that was taken out of there that the stump is there. That's also another
planting area that's available. I think it's definitely I think it's definitely two trees. There were two trees removed and the question is who removed them and I asked I did speak to whether
they should put them back. Yeah. So it's a big wide open space that would actually look nice. So you think the land remove them? I don't know who any other new business. I just want to ask if we approve the
application for this grant how that process is going to work, right? Because we can approve it, but then who who is going to do what or whatever needs to be considered at some point. So maybe we don't need to have that discussion right now, but it needs to be
on the agenda that we're actually moving forward with this. Someone needs to talk to the grant writer. Sure. So I'll speak to the grant writer and get an understanding on what we officially need from Shadri and that'll move on to new business for our
September meeting. And I have some rough estimates that I got from a couple uh contractors. If they would be helpful um I can happy to share those. Please share them with me. Thank you. Anything else for new business?
Seeing that there's none, I ask for motion to adjourn this meeting. Second. Thank you everyone and see you in September, September 8th at 5:30. Thank you.
My neighbors didn't see Take care, Dave. Good to see you. Good job. Good job, everybody.
