Council authorizes $2,800 tree removal, cites public-safety concern
Summary
The Mount Orab Village Council authorized the mayor to approve removing an additional rotten tree at a cost of $2,800, with members citing public safety and offering that contractors may deliver cut firewood to residents within a limited distance.
Council members authorized the mayor to enter an agreement to remove one additional rotten tree at a cost of $2,800 after a staff report that contractors found the tree "rotten halfway up."
A speaker characterized the issue as a public-safety concern and moved that the mayor be authorized to proceed with the removal. "Yeah, it's public safety," the speaker said. Another council member seconded the motion, and members responded affirmatively in a voice/roll-call sequence.
Council discussed that contractors offered to leave firewood for residents within a limited distance and suggested notifying residents through the village's Facebook page. The agreement and funding source for the $2,800 expense were not specified in the meeting record.
