The following branch <br />clean up options were considered: (1) City would contract a hauler to <br />pick up branches placed on boulevards at no cost to homeowners, (2) <br />City would pay half of the cost of removal with a limit of $100.00 per <br />homeowner, and (3). Have homeowners contract for branch and debris re- <br />moval and the City consider reimbursing the homeowner for at least a <br />portion of the cost. <br />Following the ensuing discussion Councilmember Steele moved, seconded by <br />Councilmember Brown that the homeowners should contract to have branches <br />hauled, submit a receipted statement to the City, whereupon the amounts <br />will be tabulated and Council will determine the amount of reimbursement. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />Mayor Warkentien informed Council that some of his neighbors have re- <br />quested a street light be placed on Albert Street halfway between <br />Garden and the walkway.
