remove the existing trees and plant an evergreen specie such as Evergreen
Pear; or,c3)'. remove the trees -and concrete in' all. 'existing .tre~ wells.

16 places wherecthe sidewalk has been raised from' the trees and others
where the curb is broken. Roger Fuller, '260 S. Halcyon, stated that people'. .....

stated that if the trees are causing a dangerous. situation they should be
removed and the.City.should.look at other-trees within' the-City that. are in'
poor' condition. Council Member Millis.stated that the'City should not wait
for citizens to. bring these problems to their atte'ntion' and" the. trees should
be replaced over a period of time. Council Member Hogan stated.that'the City
