I understand the City will be planting the trees over the next few days. Additionally, I understand that Andy Hodes, of the Jewish Cemetery Assoc of Greater New Haven, is coordinating the project. Andy has related that the local Boy Scouts are interested in getting involved to care for the trees. RWA's plan is to install hose connections, inside the cemetery gates, off of two existing irrigation services. One will be installed at the cemetery entrance on Jewell St, and the other will be installed at the cemetery entrance off Whalley Av. We thought these would be the best locations for proximity to the tree·s, plus there would be a functioning spigot for future use. If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks. LLB Larry L.

Thanks so much and I will follow up to hear how it's 90ing. J ,, » > "Larry Bingaman" <[email protected]> 4/1/2011 1:13 PM»> I was just in the process of locating your email address to respond to your previous request -- yes, we do have a water main on the majority of Jewel Street (see attached map) and on Whalley. Of the 8 services on the Jewel street, 6 are "inactive" services to cemeteries, and 2 are "pending destroy". Depending on the specifics of where the City of New Haven is planning on installing these trees, it should be relatively easy to set them up with a service(s) for irrigation. There are existing meter pits on each of these services, and no need for any excavation of the street pavement. Let me know who [and contact information] you would like our staff to deal with to set up the services and meters. By the way, we have tried on a few occasions since our discussion to connect with Lisa Stauger about her water bill and she has not returned my Assistant's call. We'll keep trying.

I received an auto-reply from Lisa that she is out of the office until 4/27. Hopefully Andy will respond . I also wanted to let you know that 12 high school seniors from an environmental studies course at Co-op High School will help plant the trees on Wednesday. They called looking for volunteer opportunities to plant trees. Men from Crossroads (and Yale students) will teach the high school students. On Thursday men from Empower Enterprise will plant the remaining trees.

When I last spoke with you both we set these dates as they are following Passover, and also the last days of our spring planting season . I know that there were some outstanding issues to resolve with watering the trees, so wanted to check to learn whether that has been addressed. We have procured the trees and scheduled the crews. Andy; you mentioned it would be good to provide some training re : watering the trees. Please let me know when you might like us to do so. Perhaps the following week? Thanks for your help.

Regarding water, money talks. The goal with the trees is to make sure they are watered in the most cost efficient manner. If the Greers want more, they will have to step up . Should you wish to have a discussion about this (a diversion from running the city) I am available. P.S. The exec director job of the cemetery may become available. I would be happy to give you a recommendation -----Original Message----- From: John DeStefano, Jr. [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 18. 2011 9:07AM To : [email protected] Subject: Re : Trees I had the chance to speak with Dov Greer Thursday afternoon at the Whalley Avenue Stop & Shop opening .
