Correcting the record again ...

At its June 24^th  workshop, the Village Board heard public comment from Kathleen Foley, a member of the Tree Advisory Committee.

Contrary to reporting in the PCN&R on June 25^th,  the Tree Advisory Committee does not and has not "[wanted] the committee to have jurisdiction over trees on private property"

For that matter, Kathleen Foley has never wanted the committee to have jurisdiction over trees on private property.

Village Board Resolution #43-2013 states clearly that the purpose of the Tree Advisory Committee is "to assist in the development of an ordinance to create a Tree Commission and a public Tree Management Plan for overseeing the proper planting, pruning, preserving and health, community management and involvement of the replacement and of existing and future trees located or to be located within the Village rights of way"

Village of rights of way are not private property.

The Tree Advisory Committee has answered this question repeatedly, including in its FAQs on the Village's website.
