Councilman Bourgeois was out of town last week and will be back by tomorrow.  I talked to him by phone and he agrees with your thoughts on the Tree Commission.  He will call you when he returns.  Thank you.

I would suggest that you ask your Councilmember to reactivate the Commission by requiring a study or report on the Commission to the full Council.  That would place the item on the agenda for public hearing and debate.

It is unclear to me how I might work to have the Tree Commission reestablished.  It was set up under city ordinance, and no action has been taken by the city to dismember it.  Legally, I am unsure where this puts us.  Any suggestions?
