Matters related to a change order at Whitt Johnson Park.
Parks and Recreation Director Mark Mailes reported that after cutting some of the
necessary grades at Whitt Johnson Park, it was determined that the roots of a large 12"
Water Oak would be severely damaged and probably killed if continued. The tree is
located on a small hill at the new park entrance on the corner of Wakeforest and
Carnegie.
Mr. Mailes stated that one option would be to construct a retaining wall around the tree at
a cost of approximately $7,200. Another option would be to remove and replace the tree
and rebuild the existing burro at the park. This would cost approximately $3000.

Grubb, to authorize the Parks and Recreation Department to spend up to $3,000 to
replace the tree and re-grade the area.
