Meeting Date: 2/23/94 <br /> Agenda Item: C 8 <br /> CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br /> ITEM DESCRIPTION: Authorization for staff to apply for the State of <br /> Minnesota Urban and Community Forestry Challenge Grants Program 1994 <br /> SUBMITTED BY: Linda Treeful, City Forester <br /> REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator <br /> EXPLANATION /SUMMARY: The city forester would like to submit a grant application <br /> for funds to assist in the city's tree trimming program. The proposal would be for <br /> $5,000 (the maximum grant) for trimming public trees with $8,500 matching portion <br /> from the city. The city's share is covered in the amount budgeted for trimming in <br /> 1994. <br /> If granted, this would allow the city to trim more of its boulevard trees in 1994 <br /> without spending more city money. This will speed up the city's tree trimming cycle <br /> from five years to four years. However, once the first trimming cycle is completed, <br /> the five year trimming cycle begins again. <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: Authorize application for the State of Minnesota Urban <br /> and Community Forestry Challenge Grants Program 1994 <br /> 41. <br />
