REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1983.
REPORT NO. : WD-10-83
SUBJECT: TREES AT KIRBY SCHOOLHOUSE (CLARKE MUSEUM) j
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended:
1. That this report be received; and,
2. That a copy of this report be forwarded to the Board of
Clarke Museum and Archives in response to their enquiry
on the matter of tree trimming and removal at the Kirby
School .
REPORT:
Correspondence was recently received from the Board of
Clarke Museum and Archives expressing concern over the
condition of trees at the Kirby Schoolhouse and questioning
two areas, namely:
i
1. Clarification with respect to the responsibility for
tree maintenance at the Kirby School ;
2. Advice with respect to what work needs to be done. � ' '
2 _
On the matter of jurisdiction; if one refers to the
attached plan it is evident that the trees near the west
boundary of the property are the property of the Ministry of
Transportation and Communications and will probably be
removed by that agency as part of the Highway 35/115
reconstruction. From a review of the plan attached and
stakes in the field, the trees on both the north and south
sides of the school are clearly the responsibility of the
Museum Baord and their maintenance should be budgeted by
that group. There could be some doubt as to who has
responsibility for the trees on the boundary with Kirby
School Road, however, the Works Department would probably be
responsible for their maintenance.
With respect to the matter of what needs to be done, and
ultimately how to get it done; the Works Department would
be pleased to oversee and make the necessary arrangements,
provided that the costs can be recovered from the Museum
Board. The work would be included in the Town's spring
tree-trimming contract with costs attributable to the Kirby
School being less than $500.00. Upon advice from the Board,
the necessary work will be arranged.
Respectfully submitted,
X'0�4 s

Director of Public Works.
