The council member asks what funding is needed for the Parks Department to address lower priority sites for tree and sidewalk repair below the current 85+ threshold.

  • The Parks Department representative states they recently provided a breakdown to the council member's office on the funding needed for 75+ and 70+ priority levels
  • The council member acknowledges this information was provided, saying the 85+ threshold is too high and will not make a dent in the repair backlog
  • Specifics on the funding amounts for different priority thresholds are not provided in the transcript portion

Then in terms of trees and sidewalks, With our current level of funding, we can address sites rated 85 and above.

Well, just I guess, what would you need to sort of improve that?
4:41:12
What would it take you to get you to 80?
4:41:14
What would it take you to get you to 75, 70?
4:41:16

4:41:22

4:41:28

4:41:28
We we we did have that.
4:41:29
We did actually give it to your office.
4:41:31

Thank you.
4:41:38
Okay.
4:41:38
I haven't heard that, but that's great.
4:41:40
And I I think 85 is a really high number, and that's not gonna get you much of a dent in the backlog that you have.
4:41:47
So thank you.
