City to spend $35,000 to study tree planting






news@ottawaradio.net

Ottawa -- Ottawa Mayor Bob Eschbach says if you want to use the state’s cash, you have to follow the state’s rules. The City Council this week placed on file a $35,000 contract with Robinson Engineering to study what kind of trees to plant and where.
         
     The Illinois Green Streets Program awarded $337,250 so Ottawa can plant trees along the highways at the edge of town. City Engineer Dave Noble says using grant money requires an engineering study.
         
Commissioner Ed Whitney thinks that’s excessive.
         
     The trees won’t be planted until next year.
