A. Discuss Updated Work Plan
The updated work plan is available to everyone; a hard copy will be mailed to Len as he is unable to open
some of the documents sent. There were no further changes suggested.
B. Review and Choose Significant Tree for Recognition
Several people were not yet familiar with the selection of a significant tree for
recognition. Several have been suggested; members will look at these trees and we will
vote on the tree and the time we would like to recognize the owner.
C. PSE Presentation on Tree Replacement Under Wires
Our PSE representative was unavailable for this meeting, so Mr. Scamporlina explained
that PSE has a program in place where they will remove trees that are in their powerlines
and will replace these trees with appropriate species that will not prove troublesome in
the future. There are several areas in the Auburn area which would benefit from this
program. The Engineering Department has been inventorying areas where sidewalks are
buckled by the trees in the parking strips and planning their removal and replacement.
This may be a program that will benefit neighborhoods and extend the money we have
available for planting. We will be coordinating with the Public Works Department on this
project.
