his service on the Tree Commission at the southeast corner of South Park.
Bricks will be ordered for the new Arbor Day tree and also for previous Arbor Day
trees. Letters have been sent to people with problem trees. The commission
recommended that a software program be purchased to display tree data. The
commission discussed the 2007 Tree City Awards and recommended that the
awards ceremony be moved to St. Caspar's Church. The commission discussed
the gypsy moths and that the park will need to be aerial sprayed. We will look
at applying for a state grant for this that is due this September.

Mayor Dehnbostel said that the cost for the spraying may not be as high as
previously anticipated. The cost per application is estimated to be around
$650.

Mayor Dehnbostel also said that he noted in the Tree Commission minutes that it
was noted that there have not been many inquiries for memorial trees. He said
that when he called the number it was not a working number. Councilor Mathews
said he will check on that.

Streets

Councilor Mathews said the committee discussed sidewalks. They reviewed the
budget and discussed the condition of sidewalks or lack of sidewalks on certain
streets. The committee said there are various options to consider. The
committee would like to meet with the Mayor and get his input before making a
recommendation.

them of the problem. An informational meeting was held on June 15th. The
