Councilmembers debated a proposal to remove trees on a public access area referred to as "the Lane" during the May 1 meeting. Councilmember Dana Merrill moved to approve a $2,900 quote for the work; Councilmember Jeff Grenell seconded. The motion failed with a 2-3 vote: Councilmembers Warren Nadeau, Arnold Aliff and William Daugherty opposed the motion.
