Contractor presents estimates to remove sick ash trees at Hallie Park; staff to rebid specific removals
Summary
Contractor Travis Wellner presented quotes to remove ash trees and salvage others at Hallie Park; commissioners agreed village staff could remove some trees, and Travis will rebid remaining removals and include stump grinding for the next meeting.
Commissioners discussed plans to remove and salvage trees at Hallie Park after contractor Travis Wellner provided estimates on June 23. Wellner told the commission which ash trees are sick and which specimens might be saved; commissioners agreed not to pursue chemical treatment because those trees would likely need removal within one to two years.
The commission decided Travis and Bill would walk the park with village employees to identify which trees could be removed in-house. Travis agreed to rebid the remaining removal work, and he also said he would include stump removal in the next bid for trees that village employees do not remove. He confirmed there are no special disposal restrictions for the diseased wood.
