contractors. Councilmember George wanted to send a clear message to SCE
that this has happened for the last time. SCE District Manager Beverly

this with their contractor. She reported they hired two arborist to examine
the trees and both arborists determined the trees would live. She noted that

Committee member Tish Sandos expressed a sense of outrage as our trees
are being attacked by a butcher (SCE) and thanked Councilmembers for
their commitment to the City's forest. Char Burgess also addressed the City
Council expressing concern about what SCE will do while we are preparing

projects as presented by Public Works Director Mutter with the removal of
