Fairview Park seeks tree committee volunteers. | The Locally Times

Fairview Park's public records show a Shade Tree Advisory Committee vacancy announcement dated December 31, 2028, despite an application deadline of February 27, 2026.

The City of Fairview Park's public records present conflicting information regarding a vacancy on its Shade Tree Advisory Committee (STAC). ## Discrepancy in Public Records The STAC is charged with promoting and encouraging tree planting throughout Fairview Park. STAC meetings are scheduled for the second Thursday of every month at 6:00 P.M. in the Dunson Room at City Hall. The presence of a "Meeting Record" dated December 31, 2028, containing a vacancy announcement with a deadline nearly two years prior, indicates a chronological inconsistency in the city's public postings. City records do not specify the current status of the STAC vacancy or whether the position was filled following the February 2026 deadline. The records also do not explain why an announcement with an expired application period remains publicly accessible under a future-dated record. This raises questions about the city's process for updating civic alerts and maintaining accurate information for volunteer committees. Residents can monitor the City of Fairview Park's Civic Alerts page for any updated information regarding committee vacancies.
