Resident warns of unstable tree near West Main and Maple; council notes county responsibility
Summary
A resident reported a fallen tree on West Main near Maple Street and said the remaining portion appears unstable; the mayor said the trees along the rails-to-trails belong to the county, and no county action was recorded in the minutes.
James Jonasson told the council that a tree recently fell on West Main near Maple Street and that the remaining standing portion appears unstable and likely needs to be removed. The minutes record his concern and his recommendation that the rest of the tree come down.
Mayor Eddie Hills replied that the trees are along the rails-to-trails and belong to the county. The minutes do not record any follow-up assignment to county staff, a town directive to request county action, or a timeline for removal; no contractor engagement or funding was recorded.
The item was raised under citizens and council comments and did not lead to a formal motion or vote during the Jan. 13 meeting.
