Public input

Gloria Flowers stated that she had been contacted by Robertson Tree Service concerning the issue of her pecan tree. Mrs. Flowers stated that Mr. Robertson has refused to take responsibility for the damage she states was done to her tree and had asked that the City do something about this issue since Mr. Robertson had been hired by the City to trim the trees.  Mayor Long states that the issue of the pecan tree is between Mrs. Flowers and Mr. Robertson and if she wants Mr. Robertson held responsible for the damage then she would just have to take him to court.

After much discussion on this issue, Mrs. Flowers has decided to “ Just drop it” and “ Let it go.” Linda Johnson apologized for what has been done to the tree but stated that nothing can be done to bring the tree back to its previous condition. Mrs. Johnson states that the City will be more cautious when hiring contractors to do work for the City and that when contractors are doing work for the city that someone should be with them at all times and if an issue arises at any worksite that the contractors will stop the project at that time until the issue is settled.

The Board has agreed to try to contact the citizens in advance of any work that will be done in the city prior to the contractor’s arrival.
