Resident seeks help to avoid lien as council considers removing tree from roadway
Summary
Resident Mike Morrow told council the Borough said it had the right to remove a tree from the 8th Avenue roadway and lien his property; he said he could not afford removal and asked the council to reconsider. Council said it would make a decision and notify him.
During public comment, resident Mike Morrow of 204 17th Street Extension raised a dispute over the Borough's request to remove a tree located in the 8th Avenue roadway. Minutes state the Borough had informed Mr. Morrow it "have[s] the right to take down the tree and lien his property," which he said he would prefer to avoid because he cannot afford the removal; the Council said it would make a decision and inform him.
Solicitor Frank Paganie later halted further discussion of the 8th Avenue tree in a separate streets-and-sewers item because the matter "may be in litigation." The minutes do not record a final resolution, timeline, or whether the Borough offered financial assistance or alternative remedies; the item remains pending.
