La Pine delays Anderson Perry engineering contract after tree-preservation debate
Summary
Staff presented an Anderson Perry engineering proposal for 2nd Street improvements that would have required removal of perimeter old-growth trees; the Council decided not to proceed with the contract and required public outreach before any tree removal.
Finance Director Ashley Ivans presented an engineering-services agreement from Anderson Perry & Associates for 2nd Street improvements between Huntington Road and Morson Street. Ivans said the proposed improvements would require 'the removal of old growth trees located on the perimeter of Heritage Park' and that Anderson Perry priced alternative engineering to preserve the trees at $42,080.
Councilors discussed the condition and life cycle of the trees and weighed the cost-effectiveness of preserving them. After discussion the Council decided not to proceed with the Anderson Perry contract as presented and directed staff to conduct public outreach before any decisions or tree removals occur.
