The Board of Public Works and Safety on March 27 approved a request to allocate $40,000 from the Fourth District gaming fund for tree removal work in the district.

The board heard the funding-allocation request and, after no objections were raised, voted to approve the allocation by voice vote. No specific contractor, timeline or site list was presented during the meeting.

The allocation was described as coming from the Fourth District gaming fund; board members did not discuss additional funding sources or a detailed spending plan at the time of approval.
