Here is a solution to the Davis-Meeker Garry Oak tree dispute:

For the group that would like to save the tree, seek out a bonding company and insurance policy to cover the potential liability in the event the tree causes damage to property or person.

I am sure there is a company that would provide such a policy for a price. There seems to be a large group that has voiced its concern for the future of the tree. Given this, I am sure the cost to each member of the group would be reasonable.

Then ask the city to release its liability for the potential damage to the group.

This would make the mayor happy, release the taxpayers of the city from liability, and place it with the folks who would like to see the tree preserved and retained.
