Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, June 17, 2013 <br />Page 9 <br />. Motion to authorize expenditure in the amount of $6,400.00 to Tree Service Now for <br />the removal of trees in various locations throughout the Village. <br />Mrs. Mills, seconded by Mrs. Cinco, made a motion to authorize expenditure in the amount of <br />$6,400.00 to Tree Service Now for the removal of trees in various locations throughout the <br />Village. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, any discussion? Does this have anything to do with the ash <br />trees? <br />Mr. Metzung replied, I don't recall if there were any ash trees. We had some pines in the <br />cemetery. I don't recall there actually being any ash trees. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, I only bring that up because the ash trees would be <br />reimbursable by tlie Federal government. If there is any in that, you should find out. <br />Mr. Metzung replied, I will investigate that. <br />Dr. Parker asked, is this also for pruning? . <br />Mr. Metzung replied, no. This is just for the removal of trees. In that, part of our budget was we <br />put money aside to do the pruning of the trees in the neighborhood. We began in the Aintree <br />neighborhood and are going to continue that this yeaz. We have done a lot more tree removal <br />this year. I talked to Ron and we are going to bring that up as he goes through his line items in <br />the budget at the end of this month. We may come back to Council at that time to add to that <br />part of the budget because of that issue, the fact that we have removed so many trees already this <br />year. <br />Dr. Parker stated, on Wilson Mills it seems like there are a lot of overhanging branches. It may <br />be on your list or it may not. If you could check it out. It seems like some of them are pretty <br />large. If they were a problem, they could damage lines. <br />Mr. Metzung replied, we will investigate that. We just took out a string of two or three along <br />there at the corner of Robley and Wilson Mills. <br />Council President Buckholtz stated, Mayfield Village is not one of those communities, but I have <br />been driving through a lot of places where the trees are so overgrown, you can't see stop signs. <br />Cleveland Heights is one of the places where they have a series of stop signs and they are <br />completely blocked and covered. To my knowledge, we don't fa11 under that category. <br />Mr. Metzung stated, between our arborist and the gentleman that takes care of our street signs, <br />they check that every year. <br />Roll Call: AYES: All Motion Carried <br />NAYS: None Expenditure Approved
