The dead trees were removed from the shoreline area. The current tree plan and
proposed tree plan are going to be merged to create a new irrigation plan. We are
going to do an RFP for irrigation design because the Park Maintenance staff is only
familiar with doing repair work.

The Maintenance Crew is using the TRF.LLO app, the free version, on their cell
phones to record maintenance work on trees while they are in the field; they record
the location, equipment used, what the job is, and who is doing it. Eve records the
