(There was no meeting held on January 25, 2017)
Discussion Items:
1. Peg Murphy informed us that Arbor Day falls on Friday, April 28, 2017 this year. The
Board will make their presentations at the schools on that date. The Board picked the
winner of the Arbor Day Poster Contest and the runners-up from all the schools which
participated. Town Board will meet on Tuesday, April 25, 2017 at 4:30 p.m., at which
time the winners will be recognized. Peg will send letters to all schools which
participated. Jay will take care of worksheets. Peg will order the bookmarks, and pencils
will be ordered by Diane. Jill will order the seedlings and all will be distributed at the
schools. Phil Burr has been contacted to participate for Fishers Island.
2. Vinny Orlando and Roger Tabor will attend our March 22, 2017 meeting.
3. Dave reported on the special meeting which he attended at the Supervisor's Office in
January held by the DEC regarding Oak Wilt disease. One tree located on Nassau Point
was identified with the disease and removed by the highway department. (Oak Wilt
affects the red oak, usually not the white oak.)
4. Dave met with the Town Attorney and went over the first draft of the "Tree Code", which
draft was handed out at our meeting so that members can review for input and comments.
The next meeting of the Tree Committee will be March 22, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. in the
Town Annex Board Room.
This meeting was adjourned at 7:45 PM
Respectfully submitted,
Diane DiSalvo
