3. DISCUSSION OF TREE REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT AT THE HISTORICAL PARK -
Pam informed the board that Oncor told the city that the trees have to he removed from the easement or they
will begin to issue fines to the city very soon. This is because of new government regulations from the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Oncor will remove the trees for a fee of $40, 000 or the city can
remove then. Pam said the city will remove them and will have the stumps grinded also. Oncor will allow
us to replace them with slow growing trees that have a maximum height of 15 ft. We will transplant as many
trees as possible in parks and other locations.
There being no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
