Hi Stephen,
Staff and I inspected the tree we believe is in question at Freedom Park. Based on the description
given, there was only one tree that may have been the one described. Please see the attached
photos and work history on the tree. Once you receive the pictures and information from the
gentlemen, please forward those to me so that I can definitively identify the tree.

Subject: Alleged Tree Hazard at Freedom Park
Importance: High
Hi Randy,
A gentleman called me today about an injury he says he suffered
at Freedom Park leading to the pickleball courts. He was walking on
the two concrete walkways that have trees in between them. He states
that on the left hand side, second tree in, there is a 4 inch round branch
(67 inches off the ground) that is a hazard. He indicates he suffered a
serious head injury from it. The incident occured on Sunday April 11th.
Please have someone go out there and investigate and correct if
necessary. Also, it is important that photographs and measurements be
taken before and after any remedial action. He is going to send me his
photos and I will forward them once they arrive. Thanks!
