Councilman Baskin stated that there were a number of trees that were cut down between Perrineville Road going up to about halfway to the bridge and wanted to know what the reason was; Administrator Weinberg answered that he would look into it and get back to him with an answer. Councilman Dipierro commented that he noted they were marked with a red “x” and they were cut and left on the side of the road with the stumps still intact. Administrator Weinberg stated that if it was utility tree trimming then the standard protocol would be to cut them and leave them on the side of the road. Councilman Dipierro asked if there is a list that can be made available as to when this tree trimming would take place; Engineer Rasimowicz commented that he would look into it but it sounds as though it was utility tree trimming.
