it is why when keith came to work here four years ago he wasn't surprised to learn this 130-year-oldfoot giant sequoia was not doing well. >> it was okay. but it does have a disease. and everybody, we all knew it. >> this, of course, was not just any other tree. it was planted here by famed naturalist john mure in the 1880s. in this 1885 photograph you see the tree protected by a wooden cage planted in a prominent spot for all to see. >> he could have planted it anywhere. he planted it at the intersection of two farm roads. >> keith realized the only way to save this tree would be to clone it. but that's notoriously difficult with giant sequoias. there may be only one person in the world capable of doing it. good thing that david malrch agreed to try. ehe runs the angel tree archive in michigan dedicated to preserving old growth and historic trees. he told us via skype that he jumped at the chance to work on the tree that he touched. in fact, he would do it for free. >> like a sacredness to the trees. he walked all the hills. why did he pick that one spot to plant the tree. >> so muc

keith makes a detailed presentation he'll highlight a few things. just as a reminder we're continuing to see revenues increase due to the development activity we're proposing to use those revenues to hire more staff to support the activities. i might mention a couple of things. yesterday we presented a budget to the star presently commission they requested that we consider adding a position an additional position to address the historic preservation work program. we remember able to accommodate that and we'll be adding a position in january so for the next fiscal year it will be a half fte address a full one after that. we've made an additional position it's about monitoring and activities that are that grow out of development projects or agreements that the request from the two - either follow-up companies of approval or modification reports or the reports that are required out of the agreements their increased subsequentially so the full-time excuse me. halftime positions to become full-time so we can count for the monitoring activities. that's a
