Summary

Council members discussed reconstituting the borough Shade Tree committee and updating the five-year forestry plan required by state forestry guidance. Councilmember (S4) noted some seats remain on the roster and urged contacting incumbents to determine willingness to continue; the Mayor said the borough's forestry plan has lapsed and must be updated and re-adopted.
Members discussed appointing a new chair and secretary, confirming training requirements for appointees, and possibly inviting Scott Bolden (local arborist) to speak at a meeting to explain responsibilities and removals. Speaker 3 offered to contact current members and present a slate at the next meeting for formal action.
