Asked the city to revisit its unilateral tree removal plan in Kayscreek Estates, noting his tree caused only minor sidewalk lift and should not be removed yet.

Highlighted a conflict of interest with the arborist who evaluated trees for removal also getting the contract to remove them, calling the selections arbitrary.

Suggested the sidewalk issue reflects past monitoring failures and recommended Layton hire a full-time urban forester and seek Tree City USA status.

Argued that Kayscreek residents were rushed and steamrolled, asking for time until July to explore alternative solutions to save mature trees.
