Arborist Advisory Committee <br />April 5, 2019 meeting minutes <br /> <br />STATUS OF POHOIKI MANGO GROVE AFTER ERUPTION <br />The Committee will determine how best to assess the status after eruption. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION ON SIGNAGE/PLAQUES FOR DESIGNATED TREES <br />Chairperson Bisel presented the plaque signage that was commissioned by the <br />previous Committee (pictured). He checked with Planning Department staff. There is a <br />working prototype and may need a company to fabricate any signs going forward. <br />Mauna Kea Signs may have been used before. <br />Mr. Bisel said, in the past, the Committee conducted a design competition and the <br />selection was adopted by the County Council. <br />Future signage could be posted on a pedestal with concrete foundation. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />REVIEW OF PENDING EXCEPTIONAL TREE NOMINATIONS <br />Chairperson Bisel checked with Planning Department personnel who supported the <br />Committee in the past. According to staff, there are no pending Exceptional Tree <br />nominations. Regarding Kaimu Milo Grove per an inquiry from John Carse, the <br />Committee will again ensure with the Department there are no records of outstanding <br />requests for designation consideration. Interested parties who believe there is a past <br />nomination may have to resubmit. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION ON ARBORIST EVALUATION OF NOMINATIONS <br />The Committee will explore finding a professional arborist to serve. Alternatively, the <br />County could create an arborist position, possibly using Public Access, Open Space, <br />and Natural resources preservation Commission (PONC) funds. An option is to also list <br />for an open contract. <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
