Committee reviews Main Street tree replacement; $12,680.18 Ohio Greenworks bid, installation slated for September
Summary
Committee member Chris Hice said Ohio Greenworks quoted $12,680.18 for Main Street tree replacement, with installation planned for September. Donations are roughly $2,000 short and the committee discussed nonprofit status to avoid sales tax and a two-week notice for village crews to remove trees.
Chris Hice reported that the Ohio Greenworks bid for Main Street tree replacement "would be $12,680.18" and that installation is slated for this September.
Merchant Mollie Wentworth said donations toward that cost are "about $2000 short" but that potential donors are in the works to meet the goal. Committee members discussed the possibility of nonprofit status to avoid paying sales tax on materials or services.
Chief Copeland requested a two-week notice before the installation so village workers can remove trees and leave the stump/root system for Ohio Greenworks to handle. The committee did not record a formal vote on the tree project in the transcript; members discussed coordination and funding steps to proceed toward installation.
