[Staff] Tree removal planned for the week of July 22

[Wes Ernsberger]

This is the large maple tree in the courtyard that is near the Social
Hall.  The work will be done by Orion Tree Service.  Removal of the tree
will take one day;  drilling out the stump will probably be done about a
week later.  I will talk to them on the previous Friday (19th) to pick the
exact day based on the weather forecast, their schedule, etc.  When I know
the day, I'll pass that along.  During that day, we can use the building
normally but will need to park in the front and not use the courtyard or
the back parking lot. Karen: Let me know if there is any day we should
avoid due to our schedule.  I looked at our calendar and it looked ok to me.

Details:

The price is $1700.  I got one other bid, which was for  $2400.  There is
$2000 in our budget for this work.

This tree is being removed because its trunk was damaged during the
renovation and because of a large limb that has been weakened due to stress
damage in the past.  If it were to fall, it would hit our roof.

They will haul away everything except for what we want to keep for
firewood.  They are willing to cut two medium sized limbs into firewood
length at no additional charge.   After they are done, we will stack it
with our other firewood.
