Presidents Report:
1. President Dennis Peters reported he talked to staff at Poulsbo Parks & Recreation regarding donating NGPA Tracts D, E, and F. to the City of Poulsbo. They recommended the board write a letter to attend their meeting the end of March to present the request.
2. A hazardous tree was cut and topped on January 18, 2021 in the NGPA tract adjacent to a home.
3. There was response from 18 homeowners who would like to replace their Plum trees with the newly recommended street trees. In order to possibly get a better price collectively doing so, Dennis got one bid and is waiting on a second bid. The bid ranged from $50-$300 to cut the old dying plum trees down (each tree varies). To then grind the stump, the cost would be roughly the same ($50-$300). Judy Hossner is getting prices on the replacement trees. Each homeowner is responsible for payment for the tree removal and replacement.
