Mike has contacted Paul <br />Wood of our Planning Department, who may be able to attend an <br />HFAB meeting this fall to continue discussing ways to protect trees in <br />Louisville. Joe suggested looking at how other cities such as <br />Oakbrook, IL have handled similar situations. <br />VII.
