Courthouse lawn tree removals discussed; commission seeks contractor bids
Summary
Maintenance Supervisor Nick Lewis reported long-running tree losses on the courthouse lawn and requested removal of four large oak trees; commissioners tabled the request until two contractor bids are obtained.
Nick Lewis, Maintenance Supervisor, briefed commissioners on ongoing courthouse-lawn tree issues, saying that since 1987 the county has removed 29 trees and replanted 28, with 20 still alive. He asked that four large, older oak trees be removed — one by Road & Bridge and three by outside contractors.
The commission did not approve immediate removals and instead tabled action until two contractor bids could be obtained. The minutes do not list estimated removal costs or contractor names.
