Denton trustees approve $1,800 tree removal after 4–1 vote
Summary
The Village of Denton Board of Trustees voted 4–1 May 4 to hire Top Down Tree Service for $1,800 to remove a tree at the corner of Cass Ave and W Denton Rd after discussion of safety and landscape concerns.
The Village of Denton Board of Trustees voted 4–1 on May 4, 2026, to approve a $1,800 bid from Top Down Tree Service to remove a tree at the corner of Cass Ave and W Denton Rd.
Trustee Ryan Osborn moved the measure and Trustee Trent Wheatley seconded. The roll-call vote recorded Osborn, Wheatley, Chair Joe Hobelman and Trustee Doug Rosekrans as voting aye; Trustee Amanda Fangmeier voted nay. The motion carried.
The item was presented as part of routine business under the board’s public-works agenda. Board discussion did not include a formal replacement plan for the tree or additional landscaping funding; the minutes show a dissenting vote from Fangmeier but do not record further conditions attached to the approval.
The action follows public comments earlier in the meeting raising several exterior-maintenance concerns at the community center and park. Trustee Doug Rosekrans asked a resident who raised landscaping issues to provide a written list of concerns for further review.
The board did not set a timeline for the removal in the minutes. The clerk or public-works staff will coordinate scheduling with Top Down Tree Service under the approved contract.
