Berne tree board logs trimming, removal requests and budget updates
Summary
Board members flagged visibility and pruning needs on streets and park areas, discussed tracking invoices for recent removals and the current tree budget balance, and asked staff to add identified sites to the maintenance list.
Board members raised multiple maintenance items, including overgrown vines on an alley off Center Street that staff flagged for trimming or spraying, pruning needs on Main Street saplings, and follow-up maintenance for recently planted trees near AMSYS construction.
Members discussed recent removals on Clark and Portland and noted the city has not yet received invoices for some work; staff will follow up to collect invoices and track budget impacts. The chair reported a current budget balance of approximately $49,075 and asked staff to add visible problem trees to the maintenance list for scheduling.
The board agreed those items need prioritized pruning, mulch and fertilizer this fall and requested staff to add specific trees to the list and to report back when work is scheduled.
