Committee approves $185 root-collar repair for paperbark maple
Summary
The committee approved root-collar work and fertilizer for a non‑growing paperbark maple for $185; the motion passed unanimously at the Aug. 3 meeting.
A paperbark maple planted six years ago that had failed to grow was examined by the Helena Bailey Spencer Tree Fund Committee on Aug. 3. Committee members determined the tree requires root-collar work and fertilizer; the committee approved the repair at a cost of $185.
Kacy Colston moved to authorize the $185 repair; Judy Hamner seconded and the motion passed by all present. The minutes record that fertilizer is available and will be applied at the time of the root-collar work. The minutes did not record a contractor name or a scheduled date for the work.
The repair was described as limited to root-collar correction plus fertilizer application; the committee recorded approval but did not attach additional funding sources or a budget line in the minutes.
