Commission presses township for overdue tree‑maintenance plan and follow‑up from public works
Summary
Commission members said a promised tree‑maintenance plan from the township (CME arborist) remains outstanding after more than a year; commissioners will ask municipal staff and council for a status update.
Commissioners raised concerns that a tree‑maintenance plan the township contracted (via CME/municipal arborist) has not yet been delivered and urged staff to follow up with township officials.
Members said an arborist had been contracted and that the commission understands funds were committed to develop a maintenance plan, but staff and commissioners reported delays: one commissioner said the deliverable had been promised “probably a year and a half, two years” earlier. Commissioners discussed asking council staff to provide an update and considered asking someone to raise the question at an upcoming council meeting if necessary.
The commission agreed to follow up with the township’s designated contacts (staff and council members) and to contact the arborist to verify the status and anticipated delivery date for the maintenance plan.
