Meeting summary

Concerning the Executive Order, the Tree Advisory Committee is not sure what they are supposed to do, if they are qualified to do it, which ones of them should do it, and if they have to do it in public. They decided to look into it and meet again next month. If the Committee provides us with minutes, we'll be happy to post them.

Mike Perkins presented the Park Department's tree maintenance plans - a two-inch-thick sheaf with full color pictures, which we will post if we can find a scanner with a document feeder.

The plans were not discussed, examined, approved or rejected, because discussion shifted back to valid questions about the Committee's role.

Chairman Carter said he intended to refer the Open Meetings Act compliance issue to the City Attorney.

The next meeting will be 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 6.
