Council Member Sandy Nurse inquires about the process for constituents when city trees damage sidewalks on their property. Commissioner Sue Donoghue explains that homeowners should not be fined in such cases and can apply for the city's Trees and Sidewalks program to have the sidewalk repaired.

• The city has a Trees and Sidewalks program to address situations where city trees damage sidewalks
• Homeowners should not be fined if a city tree is the cause of the sidewalk damage
• Affected homeowners can submit an application to the Trees and Sidewalks program to have the sidewalk repaired
• There is no direct billing or reimbursement process for homeowners in these cases
