Danville tree committee elects officers, approves removal of hazardous West Main Street tree
Summary
At its May meeting the Danville tree committee elected Sarah as president and Steve as vice chair, approved previous meeting minutes and voted to remove a tree on West Main Street after receiving a single contractor bid, citing vehicle and pedestrian safety concerns.
Sarah was elected president and Steve was chosen vice chair at the Danville tree committee meeting, after a committee member nominated both and members voted in favor.
The committee next approved the minutes from the Dec. 10 meeting by motion and voice vote.
Under new business, a member asked for approval to move forward with removal of a tree on West Main Street, saying the tree could pose a hazard to vehicular traffic and pedestrians. The request noted officials had solicited three bids but received only one response; the motion to proceed was seconded and the committee approved the removal. The committee did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; the minutes should be consulted for a formal count.
No statutory citations or ordinance numbers were discussed during the vote. Committee members emphasized that emergency removals remain allowable between meetings and that nonemergency removals will be brought back for proper approvals when requested.
The meeting adjourned after completing the agenda; the committee set its next meeting for May 28 at 4:30 p.m. (time change from 5:30 p.m.).
