recommendation that they should be thinned out with up to approximately 30-35% to be removed. There
are also some Aspens that are leaning and could be a liability; some buckthorn was noted also.
This information should be shared with Public Works Director Palzer so that he may obtain quotes for
the trimming of trees and the removal of others. In addition, information along with a map showing the
