Robertson added that the cost of this agreement came in way below what was predicted.
The issue was also brought before the Findlay City Council. They agree to a memorandum of understanding as well. Mayor Lydia Mihalik said that they need to remove the trees.
Mihalik explained that the agreement will give the conservancy district access to city land for the tree removal. She added that this comes at no cost to the city.
