Two Avon residents raised concerns during public comment at the March 26, 2026 Town Council meeting, telling the council they were upset about tree removals connected to a Duke Energy utility relocation project.
Dave Cox (address given in the record as 7839 Red Sunset Way) told the council he was upset about tree removals associated with the utility relocation. Marvin Selva (recorded address 7960 Red Sunset Way) expressed similar concerns. The transcript records their complaints but does not include direct quotations or describe any council response or follow-up commitments.
Jean Renk, a Duke Energy Indiana representative, and Shelby Pride of the Parks Department appeared earlier in the meeting for a separate agenda item when a $5,000 grant for trail safety and security was presented and accepted; the transcript does not indicate Duke Energy responded to the tree-removal complaints during public comment.
The transcript does not specify whether the tree removals were authorized by permit, the scope of removed vegetation, or any remediation plan. The residents' statements were recorded in the public-comment portion of the meeting; no formal action, motion or vote related to the tree removals is shown in the minutes.
The council's next meetings are scheduled for April 9, 2026.
