Summary

Planning staff proposed changing tree-permit applications so contractors apply instead of homeowners; Arbor Day is scheduled for July 10 and park fencing and poison-hemlock control were noted.

Nancy Thill reported proposed amendments to the village tree ordinance that would require contractors, not homeowners, to apply for tree permits. She framed the change as an administrative shift and said she is gathering information on burying powerlines.

Thill also announced an Arbor Day celebration for July 10 at the butterfly garden entrance, said park fencing around trees will be replaced, and noted that poison hemlock is regrowing in the butterfly garden and was serviced by contractor Pizzo.
