Residents ask council for tree-permit refund procedures and speed bumps on Old Mill Road
Summary
Two residents urged the council to clarify the fee-refund process for unissued tree permits and to consider traffic calming on Old Mill Road after multiple hit-and-runs; staff pledged follow-up and traffic safety review.
Two members of the public used the council’s comment period to raise local concerns. Ken, a San Marino resident, said he filed a government claim (CJP3054448) over tree removal, reported the claim was rejected, and said he paid tree‑permit fees despite no inspection or permit issuance; he asked how the city handles refunds in such cases. Council and staff asked for his address for follow-up; city staff agreed to follow up.
Later, resident Britney Roth Kushel described speeding on Old Mill Road near her corner lot and asked the city to consider speed bumps to protect several school‑aged children who bike and play there. She said two hit‑and‑run investigations occurred on the street. The police chief and city manager said staff would follow up with traffic‑safety work and noted they have been familiar with that stretch because of recent planning activity.
City staff told both speakers they would follow up and investigate the matters raised.
