Park & Recreation Commission Minutes of April 26, 2000 Page 3 misunderstanding about the situation and he spoke with Public Works Director Peter Ingram to clarify what actually has happened and what action the Commission had approved. At this point, the Mayor has requested a moratorium until he has visited the site and reviewed the situation. Commissioner Slusser said he recently visited the Redwood Shores resident effected by the trees and was advised that the Mayor has not visited the site. Commissioner Swope felt there is something wrong with the ordinance if Superintendent Gordon Mann cannot remove the infested trees. Superintendent Hover reported this issue was brought up at a Redwood Shores Homeowners Association (RSHOA) meeting and was planned for discussion at their April meeting, but the RSHOA has postponed their April meeting. The misunderstanding appears to be that many people believe this involved a resident whose tree permit was denied which is not the case. There was discussion about a test program in Southern California of the wasp predator but no one knows when it will happen and how long it will take to get the results. Commissioner Swope felt it is a case of the wrong tree planted in the wrong location. Commissioner Slusser spoke about the status of the tree and its appearance.
