6. COUNCIL COMMENTS
a. Councilman Malcolm:
Informed Council he had taken a tree expert, Dr. Nelson, to examine the eucalyptus trees in Rohr Park. The
gentleman felt the trees were stressed and contained beetles. Upon review he felt the staff report had been
generous and he would rope off the area due to possible danger to the public.
Councilwoman McCandliss stated she would like the item docketed for a Council meeting for further
reconsideration.
Councilman Nader stated that if the park had been properly maintained all along, the Council would not
be facing this problem now.
City Manager Goss questioned whether the Council wanted to have Rohr Park placed on the next Council
tour.
It was the consensus of the Council to place this item on the next tour.
Councilman Malcolm noted that Dr. Nelson had donated his time to examine the trees and would also help -')
the City in determining the size and types of trees that should be utilized in the replanting.
