Tip of the iceberg
This all goes back to DPW administration. People in management not even sure where the bathroom is and they were in charge of this whole process of oversight. These people were way in over there heads from the get go in regards to golf course oversight they got bamboozled by MDM and the city never knew or if they did they didn't know what to do. All this under outgoing Director Kevin Burnham. And the city. Both losers on this problem because you will never get those trees back luckily you will never get Kevin Burnham back either.

That this happened should not have been a surprise. The previous golf course management company, American Golf, did a good job. Courses were in good shape, improvements were made. But American Golf must not have been greasing the palms of the former gang banger mayor Eddie Perez, who forced them out and cancelled their contract over the objections of others.


This is the company Perez wanted, so the city once again, has another gift that keeps on giving (or not) from that felon. Maybe that is who the corporation counsel should sue.

The tip of the iceberg is right. When the storm hit CT there was a dire need for treesnto be taken down. Unfortunately, because the companies doing this work were getting paid by the load, healthy trees were taken down from all the parks. There were no checks and balances. These contractors took down healthy trees in an attempt to increase the weight which would in turn increase their income/fees received. Currently these parks continue to have trees and shrubs cut. People seeking to acquire wood sometimes go into our City's parks and cut downed trees. In some cases they take an occasional healthy tree. This practice has happened at Elizabeth park, Goodwin, Keney, and Batterson. In fact, at Batterson property owners whose property line meets abuts up against the City of Hartford's continue to cut trees and shrubs eroding the water's edge and allowing the lawn chemicals that are used to run off into the lake. A simple cease and decist letter to those home owners and checks and balances of our parks would prevent or help curtail this practice.
