She indicated she believed there were trees being marked in error. She stated she had received a letter regarding red oak trees being diseased with oak wilt, but her white oak tree was marked and taken down, which she believes was done in error. She stated the tree removal company infomled her that her tree was not diseased and that it was white oak and not red oak, She believed there were also three other trees in her neighborhood that were white oak trees that had also been marked, but those trees were not taken down because her neighbors knew they were not red oak trees. She indicated she had lost a valuable tree that has been in her family since 1948. She requested the City be responsible for the cost of her tree removal. . Mayor Aplikowski asked why the tree service company removed her tree if it was a healthy tree. Ms. Bonn replied the tree was already half way down before someone approached her about it. She stated she understood the City was going to send out letters stating that her tree was white oak and to ignore the previous letter, but she never received that letter.
