Cecilton council approves trimming trees in Frisby Meadows after fire crew access issue
Summary
Following a CVFC response that reported difficulty passing a road in Frisby Meadows, the council reviewed bids and agreed to trim trees and remove unhealthy specimens; two companies recommended trimming while one advised full removal, and the town is awaiting a final estimate before work begins.
Town officials discussed tree conditions in Frisby Meadows after a call to the Cecil Volunteer Fire Company (CVFC) where crews experienced access difficulties on the road. The Town had three companies inspect the trees and received two bids; two companies said the trees were healthy but not suited to the space and recommended significant pruning, while one recommended removal. The Mayor and Council agreed trimming all trees and removing unhealthy trees was the best course and are waiting for the remaining estimate before contracting the work.
Council members emphasized public-safety reasons for the work after the CVFC's reported difficulty. No timeline or contract award was recorded in the meeting minutes; the item remains contingent on receiving the outstanding bid.
