Resident urges help after spending about $4,000 to remove dying ash trees
Summary
Resident Enrique Gonzales told the Oak Ridge City Council he has spent about $4,000 to remove dead or dying ash trees and asked the council to follow up on stump removal; Council directed a member to check with 'Daniels' about next steps.
Enrique Gonzales spoke during the public comment period about the removal of ash trees on private and/or public property, saying he has already paid out-of-pocket for removals.
"Spent about $4000 of his own money SO far to remove dead or dying trees," the minutes record. Council Member Rolando Guzman said he would check with a person identified as "Daniels" about stump removal.
The exchange was a request for follow-up rather than a formal council action; no funding or city program was authorized at the Sept. 23 meeting. The issue was logged for potential follow-up by staff.
