Administrator Schlegel’s recommendation is that the Shade Tree Commission contact Administration to advise what is not being enforced. Mr. Orban stated he’s here as a citizen and since 2001 no summonses had ever been issued under 3 consecutive tree removal ordinances. Councilman Bressi stated there has been a lot of action by the Shade Tree Commission with land use applications. I can’t say for sure about the violations but over the years people have been noticed. Administrator Schlegel will follow-up with the Board’s Chairman and Code Enforcement and to report back at the next meeting. Councilman Bressi stated there was a sabbatical with a 2-year period held up in the Appellate Court and it couldn’t be enforced and when it was approved it was re-enforced. Mr. Orban had concerns regarding a disabled resident who had trees removed from his home with no prior knowledge. Council President Calogero affirmed that when there is an application before the Board(s), Council is limited to what they can do. He asked Mr. Orban to hand over the documented information to Administrator Schlegel.

Councilman Nixon requested to come out of Public Comment to telephone Council Vice President Martin for his vote regarding Resolution No. 387R-15. We can then return to Public Comment.
