Electric superintendent asks council for up to $40,000 tree‑trimming budget
Summary
Electric Superintendent Brian Mullen requested the council authorize a not‑to‑exceed $40,000 tree‑trimming budget to support electric‑line maintenance; the transcript records the request but no formal motion or vote.
Electric Superintendent Brian Mullen told the Darlington Town Council April 2 that routine maintenance on electric lines requires tree trimming and asked the council for a not‑to‑exceed $40,000 limit for that work.
Mullen presented the request during his electric report and framed the trimming as part of ongoing maintenance. The transcript records the specific dollar cap requested but does not record a formal motion, second or vote on the item.
No funding source or timeline for the trimming was specified in the minutes; the council did not record an immediate decision in the public transcript. The request will require a future motion or budget appropriation if the council chooses to authorize the expenditure.
