Bench proposal withdrawn; council rejects $2,900 tree‑removal quote
Summary
Council withdrew a proposal to place a bench on the Lane and rejected a $2,900 tree‑removal quote after a 2‑3 vote, with Councilmembers Nadeau, Aliff and Daugherty opposing.
Council discussion over a proposed bench in the public access area on the Lane ended without approval; the council withdrew the bench placement decision during the May 1 meeting. Councilmember Dana Merrill then moved to approve a $2,900 quote for tree removal on the Lane, seconded by Councilmember Jeff Grenell, but the motion failed 2-3.
Councilmembers Warren Nadeau, Arnold Aliff and William Daugherty voted against the tree‑removal motion; the minutes record the failed tally and show continued caution about approving the work at that time. No alternate vendor or timeline for the bench or tree work was recorded in the minutes.
