Good morning everyone. Welcome to our speed was Committee Meeting of thursday, june 30, 2016. Im katie tang chair of the committee.

As we do Capital Improvements to projects citywide. The natural areas, program is a Management Program, a 20year Management Program for how we manage certain land scapes and so some of this work is in the edge of the natural areas, but it is separate as discussed in the environmental evaluation provided. I think something was put on the overhead for you. It does fall within the natural areas program. How many of the proposed tree removals are in that area of the 58 . I could. I would have to make a quick count. But. That is where two of them fell recently, this is an image of that area. I could try to do that and then come back up. So all of the green dots in that natural sort of area just directly it looks like the vast majority are coming out of that area . No. Because they are new. The green ones are new, the red ones are removed. I would have to do a count. I would say, no just roughly looking at it, approximately, 15 or 20. Okay. I would have to do a count. Okay, thank you. Thank
Portion where the photo synthesis occurs, on the surface of every leaf are pores to which Carbon Dioxide is pulled out of the atmosphere, they are like natural vacuums that move the pollution from the air. They plan to cut down 190 trees over all in the multiple projects for glen park. Which will result in more pollution to the debt triment to all of us in the city. Just think of how that will effect the children with asthma. Park and rec say that these trees will be replaced by seedings. How many seedings would actually replace the function of one large tree . 50 . 100 . There is not enough land to substitute, 100 seedings for one tree. The roots of the tree burrow deep into the earth serving for protection against the erosion, if they were cut the space for the Tennis Courts the roots will die and the hill will slide down right under the courts. What is the point of spending millions of dollars that the city doesnt have to move a set of perfectly functional Tennis Courts . The tree s
Somebody had a nice idea and took it up. But, somehow conflicted with this was the ideal of the removal of a whole bunch of trees and moving other parts of Tennis Courts and this sort of thing. This brings up the subject of trees. Now, as my friend over here mentioned, trees have fallen. But the trees that have fallen should have been removed a long time ago, they were old pines that are come up with their end of their life. The trees if they want to take down are giant things, about this big around. Big ucaliptis trees that are historic and to get rid of his trees is just absolutely insane. We have, we need these trees. But, the other thing that i would like to bring up is that somebody has not got the right idea that a tree is a tree. Somebody says, if one kind of tree is another kind of tree, not so. But, what happens was this conflation of the trees as opposed to the rec center, i am in favor of the center. Leave the trees alone. Except for the ones that need to come out. Need to c
