IX. Miscellaneous
 Commissioner Unger asked counsel to explain their previous comment about the
“Determination letter for the zoning officer”. Counsel explained that the letter
would be considered a conflict of interest. He added, the correct way to deal with
distressed properties would be to call or email the planning department and ask
them to check the address without giving them any details on the property. The
planning staff would then go to such property and make the determination on if it
should be coming to the HRC.
 Staff informed the commissioners about the culvert repairs that the Engineering
Department would be doing in the GE plot. As part of those repairs some trees will
be taken down. The commissioners asked counsel to clarify if a mediation plan was
available, and if so, would they present it to the HRC. The commissions also asked
counsel to clarify who would be responsible for the tree remediation since the
repair would be done by a third party and not the owners.
