<v Speaker 1>As the board president? That's why I'm calling. According to

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 1>the law of the association, Unfortunately, you're not allowed to

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:52.639

<v Speaker 3>discretion to cut it down?

0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>If I want to well, that tree has been there

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>since the inception of the association, So it's kind of

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>like sacred grounds.

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 3>Who is on my land that you don't know how

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 3>much of a pain that is causing us. It looks terrible.

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 3>You're you're the president of the homeowners association. Have you

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 3>driven around the neighborhood. Do you see that tree?

<v Speaker 3>They're hell with neighbors complaining bylaws.

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.720

<v Speaker 1>by the bylaws.

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.000
