The meeting is scheduled to run from 7:30 to 9 p.m. <br /> II in the auditorium at the 4J Education, Center, 200 N. Monroe. <br /> While clearing tree branches from power lines last spring, EWEB staff noted that many of <br /> the older trees on that section of Adams Street show signs of significant defects such as excessive <br /> decay or other structural problems. In accordance with an intergovernmental agreement, EWEB <br /> notified the City that these trees may pose significant hazards. <br /> Due to these concerns, the City is proposing to have the trees evaluated by qualified <br /> private tree care professionals to determine if the defects pose significant threats to life or - <br /> property. The private professionals also would be asked to make recommendations regarding <br /> alternatives on how the City might resolve any hazards found to exist. <br /> i <br /> Both EWEB and City staff recognize the importance of these trees to the residents on <br /> Adams Street and the general community, and interested citizens will be invited to view and <br /> ~ participate in the investigation of the trees.
