MOMS committee moves to standardize Main Street tree replacements; asks Chamber rep for recommendation
Summary
Committee members discussed safety where trees were removed, recommended 2–3" trunk sizes for tree boxes, and requested Chamber representative Chris Hice to recommend a uniform replacement species and gather installation quotes; donations were suggested to cover costs.
The MOMS Committee devoted multiple items on April 7 to trees along Main Street, including safety concerns where trees had been removed and not replaced. The minutes record a recommendation that replacement trees fit existing tree boxes, with trunks about 2–3 inches in diameter; the notes warn trunks under 2 inches would be prone to damage.
The committee agreed to seek a uniform species for replacements and recorded that the Village retains authority to remove trees when required. The minutes state the committee requested that Chris Hice recommend a new tree species and obtain quotes for installation; members also discussed asking for donations to offset replacement costs. A follow-up meeting was scheduled for April 21 at 5:00 p.m. to move tree work forward during the spring planting window.
