Where does that $100,000 figure some from? How did it cost the districts anything because a few trees were cut down?[/QUOTE]

I am refering to posts that I read in a previous thread on ther matter. At least one poster indicated that there was an article in the on line News that the Fine was $30,000, replanting could cost from $40-50,000 . Another post indicated that the District woul be responsible for annual inspections and replanting, if necessary for 4-5 years at about $2500 per year.

Not quite $100,000 but a good bit more than the charitable offering of the "Friends."

If my numbers are not close enough or incorrect I would be happy to adopt the correct figures , if a knowlegable respondent can provide them.
