CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of August 26, 2013 — Regular Meeting Page 14 of 17 Ms. Hermina Allen, President of Chemie Research and Manufacturing at 160 Concord Drive, expressed concerns about a recent issue regarding removal of a tree on the business property and a letter of appeal she had submitted to the City. She stated she was concerned that the issue would be addressed at a time when she was out of town for business. Mayor Glancy stated that the matter of an appeal should be scheduled as an agenda item for a future Commission meeting and Ms. Allen could get with staff to make those arrangements. Ms. Smith advised that the request for appeal had been received but it appeared the appeal would be scheduled while Ms. Allen was out of town due to a requirement that it be heard within a certain time of the request. Ms. Reischmann advised that Ms. Allen could waive the time requirement in order to have the issued scheduled when she could attend, and she could get with staff to arrange that. 2. Mr. James Fraleigh, 23 Teresa Court, voiced concerns regarding decisions made by the Commission on various issues, and actions taken by the Police Department relating to him personally.
