Commission considers paid tree-pit maintenance role; seeks concrete plan before approval
Summary
Members discussed a proposal to compensate a local worker for tree-pit maintenance at roughly $20/hour (est. 20 hours/month for 4–6 months), generating a preliminary cost estimate but no vote; commissioners asked staff to produce a concrete plan.
The commission discussed a proposal to recognize and potentially compensate a local worker, Ryan Scully, for ongoing tree-pit maintenance. Commissioners said Scully has been performing work (brick repair, mulch leveling, weeding) with support from an anonymous donor and discussed an illustrative compensation package of about $20 per hour for roughly 20 hours per month over several months — a back-of-envelope estimate of roughly $2,400 for a season — but did not vote and asked for a detailed work plan.
S2 and other members emphasized the need for concrete guidelines on tasks, hours and scope before formalizing compensation. "I don't have any concrete figures...this is just for discussion," S2 said; commissioners asked staff to draft a more specific plan to present at a future meeting.
