Council approves two ROW tree removals with property owners sharing costs

City of Melbourne City Council · September 8, 2025

Summary

Council approved removal of two right-of-way trees with property owners agreeing to pay half the cost. City shares: $350 for tree near 210 4th Street and $625 for tree at 14 3rd Street; motions passed unanimously.

Council considered two right-of-way tree removals after property owners offered to pay half of the removal costs. The council approved both removals: the city’s share will be $350 for the tree near 210 4th Street (total cost $700) and $625 for the tree at 14 3rd Street (total cost $1,250). Gaege Bracy moved to approve the removals and Beth Opperman seconded; the motions carried with unanimous votes.

Council noted the trees were of concern but not at the point of imminent danger; the owners’ offer to share costs allowed the work to proceed without reallocating immediate city funds beyond the stated shares.
