What members said, in order
This whole idea of an outside treasurer just seems goofy and outdated to me. But having a, a financial advisory board of some sort does make some sense. I, I just don't think we can count on people volunteering at this point, and I think we should change the rules and then maybe work on that. That's my thoughts.Brian Dolan · Vice Mayor31:25
Have we done a foundation inspection of this building? I'm assuming. That it is probably at least dating to the '60s, if not earlier.Kerry Hillis · Mayor50:09
They also tend to fare best when you have lots of them nearby each other because they kind of hold each other up. The question that I would have, given the shallow roots, is something like a root barrier even something that could be considered without damaging the health of the tree?Kerry Hillis · Mayor53:58
