Public works reports storm cleanup underway; staff details large tree losses
Summary
Public works said crews have nearly finished residential storm damage pick‑up after the June 10 storm and reported several large trees lost, with the largest measured at 48‑inch diameter; a cumulative figure in the transcript was recorded as 'approximately 1,100 inch diameter' and is noted as unclear in wording.
Public works told the board crews have been working long hours to restore the village after the June 10 storm. Staff said they have completed residential storm damage pick‑up, are removing hanging limbs and are in a tree removal phase; the largest tree measured so far was 48 inches in diameter and the next largest 44 inches.
Staff also told trustees that they 'lost a total of approximately 1,100 inch diameter of trees throughout,' language that the transcript expresses literally but that the department should clarify in written reporting (the phrasing in the meeting is ambiguous about whether the number is a cumulative diameter measure or a transcription error). Public works said stump work and sidewalk/road patching will proceed as time and budget allow.
