Resident seeks compensation after city crews cut hedges beyond public right‑of‑way
At the council’s open forum, resident Travis Dunbar of 499 Oakwood Boulevard described damage to a privacy hedge that he said city public‑works crews removed on July 15 while addressing a right‑of‑way visibility concern. Dunbar said he provided his property survey showing a two‑foot public right‑of‑way but that crews removed about eight feet of material, cutting “probably a good 30%” of the hedge and extending roughly six feet onto private property. He said staff and the mayor visited the site and he was told city staff would look for a remedy; Dunbar said he was informed to contact the city’s insurance carrier but asked why he should bear that burden when the city’s crews performed the work. Dunbar provided photos and a copy of his survey to council and asked the city to make him whole. Mayor Gannon and the city clerk accepted his contact information for follow‑up; the council did not take a formal vote but staff indicated they would follow up with Mr. Dunbar and with public works.
