Present 5 - Borkowski, Bauman, Murphy, Perez, Chambers Jr. 1. 221262 Resolution relating to the claim of Roger and Margaret Phillips Message from Ms. Phillips Hello Joanna We are declining the meeting scheduled for March 13 before the Judiciary and Legislation Committee. With the two denials we already received from the City stating it “was an act of God”, and so much time past, we felt we were not going to get any further help from the City on this matter and this was closed. We moved on with getting repairs done and we had to put in a claim with our home owners insurance to help cover some of the cost to repair. I only wish Forestry would have listened to our calls that this hugh tree was dying and needed attention.
