Summary
A longtime Cary resident told the board on Aug. 5 that falling branches have damaged vehicles and could injure children; Public Works staff said they will follow up directly with the resident.
At the Village of Cary meeting on Aug. 5, resident Mike Fahey described repeated incidents of falling tree branches near his home and said one event caused roughly $3,000 in damage to his vehicle. Fahey said the problem has recurred and expressed concern that children could be hurt if the trees are not addressed.
“Kaitlyn Noonan, our public works director, will answer you,” Mayor Mark Koenig told Fahey after the resident described the damage and asked the village to act. Noonan confirmed staff would follow up and the transcript records the board offering a personal outreach: “We’ll reach out to you personally,” the mayor said. The resident provided the village website as contact information on the sign-in sheet.
No formal board action was recorded on Aug. 5 regarding tree trimming or a related budget appropriation. Public Works Director Kaitlyn Noonan was identified in the meeting as the staff contact who will respond to the resident and coordinate any necessary field work.
