Park board approves minutes, two tree removals and adjourns; December meeting canceled
The Fall River Park Board on Nov. 24 approved routine items including acceptance of the Nov. 10 meeting minutes and two separate tree removal requests.

A letter from Michael Montigny requesting removal of a tree at 160 Seabury Street was considered and, after Parks staff inspection, the board approved removal. The record shows the motion to approve was announced in the meeting transcript as "Motion to approve by commissioner Farris, second by commissioner Rigo," and the chair recorded the vote as 'Aye' with the motion carrying.

The board also considered a tree removal requested by Darren Maderas at 73 Grove Street. The motion to remove that tree was recorded in the transcript as moved by "commissioner Cecillio" and seconded by "commissioner Rigo," and the board approved the action by voice vote.

Before adjourning, the board confirmed there will be no December meeting and that the Park Board will resume the first Wednesday in January 2026. A motion to adjourn carried by voice vote. The board closed the meeting with holiday well wishes for attendees.
