Councilman Szymkowiak stated that $500,000 he believed was not enough
for street improvement programs. He also stated that tree trimming should
be a priority of the City. The staff noted that tree trimming projects were
not eligible for CD Funds.

were the neighborhood estimates, and that the engineering estimates were
considerably higher. Mrs. Rosenfeld also noted that CD funds could not be
used to displace other funding sources.
