The hearing is scheduled to begin at 8:15, but since it follows the 8 p.m.
hearing on the city budget, it may be 8:30 or later before the council
turns to the tree question.
The University Inn wants the removal of the trees because they allegedly
block the view of the motel's sign for eastbound traffic. The city's
tree committee unanimously recommended the request be denied; hence this
appeal to the council.
If you're concerned about maintaining the landscaped strip between the mall,
university inn and Pullman Highwy, I encourage you to attend the meeting or
send a letter to the mayor and council by Monday opposing this request.
