.. <br /> Date: 06/08/93 <br /> From: Linda Norris CEEXLHN - RIS1 <br /> To: Bob Hammitt CEWMJRH - RIS1 <br /> Chris Andersen CEWACFA - RIS1 <br /> Subject: Big Leaf Maple Issue continued <br /> I just returned a call from Jeanine Holly who is one of about 30 people <br /> who were apparently involved in dedicating the old big leaf maple trees <br /> to a friend of theirs who died. I explained to her that I did not know <br /> the trees were a memorial. She is okay at this point with the fact <br /> that they had to be removed, but said a couple of things that you should <br /> probably know about. <br /> She said her group had plans to take out the dead trees and plant <br /> flowers on the sites this weekend. She said it was being coordinated by <br /> Dennis Leuck (sp ?). <br /> It doesn't appear that Dennis was working with anyone <br /> on the staff. I told Jeanine that it is important to talk to Bob if they <br /> ever want to do anything in the public right -of -way. She was upset that <br /> the posts came out, but understood when I talked to her about the liability <br /> issues they created for the City. <br /> She also said she talked to Jan this morning and asked him where the <br /> oak trees that are temporarily planted there came from. She said Jan said <br /> he didn't know anything about them and had not been consulted. I thought Jan <br /> was aware of what was happening, so I am confused by his response (if she is <br /> relaying the information accurately.) She was not told that the oak trees <br /> are planted in pots and are temporary. When she found that out, she felt <br /> much better. <br /> She also said there is a plaque by the trees saying they were planted as <br /> a memorial. I'm assuming the plaque is still there? I'm also wondering if <br /> anyone told Dennis that we removed the dead trees, and why we removed the <br /> posts. Thanks for your help with this. Linda <br />
