29 favored Scheme 2.

written analysis of the issues relative to the

on State Street which included an estimate of probable
costs to retain and prune the existing trees, and
to remove the existing trees and maintain replacement
trees.
Mr. Johnson moved to not remove any of the Indian
State Laurel trees (Scheme 1) and to authorize the
Street Redevelopment Agency Director to solicit bids for
Concept the necessary pruning. Motion seconded by Mr. DeMirjyn
and carried by AYE votes of all present.
Director Quaschnick initiated a discussion regarding
the time schedule and a possible revision to make
Time it more flexible. It was a consensus of the Agency
Schedule Board that a more leisurely pace for review was
desirable with time allowed for community input.
NAME This would mean the actual work would start after
