Apri127, 2005 To: Roy Harris, Supervisor and Larry Cram — Public Works 3200 Cedar Street, Everett WA 98204 From: "Lee" LeIslea Brooks 2310 23rd Street Everett, WA 98201 Subject: Obstruction Letter that was placed on my door knob (4/25/OS)-enclosed copy of your flyer and attached paper--- Thi ' am it-i�g to Public orks instead in calling because I and my husb d Dale Chartier has calle four times in the past year or so, to have the tree cleaned up fro orms �r — to have the TREE BE CUT DOWN. And in the flyer you say, " The Public Works Department encourages...needs to be maintained, trimmed, and managed...." And the letter goes on to say that the Tree (on city property) that there is a vertical clearance, etc. And the back side on the yellow side with Lany Cram's name on it says, " Tree ne�ds io be trimmed over roadway." Each and every time that I call into Public Works about the city tree I keep getting the same response, "you have to maintain it not us" ...."we just plant them and you maintain them". ...I stated my case but again the same response. Then my husband called in twice in the last 3 months to have the tree be cut down. And the person on the other end of the line said, "okay, sure, we will put this down and have someone come out and cut it down." - I believe that the person on the phone was telling my husband a falsehood to get him off of the phone. And now we receive the two flyers. Why do we want the tree to be cut down? First off, my husband has a failed Fusion in his neck and doing tree cutting is out of the question; AND we paid good hard earned money (on a fixed income) to clean the tree of bugs, insects, which Public Works would not come out and clean out....the bugs were on my car, inside the grass and coming around on the sidewalk....I spent money to debug the tree — my first time and my last time in doing so. In addition, the tree has some san and folia�e items dronpin� onto mv car and I am not happy with this at all. PLEASE CUT THE TREE DOWN ON 2310 23�d Street. I hope that this time you will listen to us and please proceed to cut the Tree DOWN. �� /� � "Lee" Brooks (Dale K. Chartier) Homeowners 425/252/5211 cc: Ray Stephanson, Mayor
