Oak Street resident urges board to remove rotten street tree after repeated complaints
Summary
Debra Jones told trustees the tree in front of her home is brittle and dropping limbs; she said she has reported it previously and "plans to attend every meeting until we take this tree down."
Debra Jones of Oak Street addressed the Board during public comment to request removal of a tree she described as rotten and brittle. She provided photos of limbs that have fallen and said the condition has persisted for several years; she told the board she had complained to Michael Fiorillo and had not received a response.
Jones said the tree still loses limbs and that earlier tree work years ago removed limbs over her driveway when she had planned to move the driveway; she said she never followed through with moving the driveway and believes that history may factor into the village's response. Jones told the board she "plans to attend every meeting until we take this tree down." Trustee Michael Horrigan asked whether she had photos of the whole tree; the photos she provided were of fallen branches rather than the full tree canopy.
The minutes record the concern and the resident's intent to continue pursuing the matter; the board discussion was brief and no formal action was recorded on tree removal at this meeting.
