This Regular Meeting of the Southold Town Tree Committee was called to order at 7:00 PM at
the Southold Town Annex.
Minutes from the April 27, 2016 meeting were approved.
Discussion Items:
1. Dave Cichanowicz reported that all went well with the Arbor Day events. The tree was
planted at Southold Elementary School in honor of the overall poster winner for 2016,
Hannah Taggert. Everyone gave a special thanks to Peg Murphy for all of her efforts in
bringing all the events together with great success.
2. Dave will speak to the Boy Scouts about the locating of and cleaning of the memorial
plaques located in Town.
3. Peg Murphy spoke about moving the plaque which is located in front of the Historical
Society.
4. Dave updated us again on the trees in the middle of Town. He spoke to Vinnie Orlando
about placing posters on the two trees on the south side of the street which are to come
down. The DOT will waive our obtaining permits due to the fact that we are a
Municipality. We will plant four new trees in the Fall. The States needs the trees to be
"wire friendly". Dave suggested that Cherry trees be planted.
5. A memorandum has now been submitted to the Town Board requesting the Board to
amend the amount of members our Tree Committee may have from a 7 member to a 12
member committee.
6. The committee spoke about our Fall "event" wherein the Suffolk Times advertises leaves
showing business names. Dave will arrange for two full pages in the Suffolk Times for
the Fall.
7. The next meeting of the Tree Committee will be June 22, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. in the Town
Annex Board Room.
This meeting was adjourned at 5:00 PM �
Respectfully submitted,
