CHLEB ECK, Clerk <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, Minn. 55117 <br />484-2177 <br />April 3, 1986 <br />To: <br />CITY OF LITTLE CANADA <br />RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA <br />Tayor A:ike Pahey <br />Councilraembers: <br />Eev Scalze <br />Bill Blesener <br />Fick Collova <br />Mugs Nardini <br />City Clerk: <br />Joe Chlebeck <br />From: Tom Iiorwath <br />City Tree Inspector <br />MAYOR <br />Michael Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Bill Blesener <br />Rick Collova <br />Mugs Nero linl <br />Cr. April 2, I received three quotes from Tree Removal companies interested <br />in being hired for this years tree removals on public and private property in <br />the city. The lowest quote again this year is Precision Landscaping Co. from <br />Little Canada. They were lower than Langer's Tree service by only ,4150.00, when <br />all per -inch prices were added up. However, upon closer inspection of their <br />bids, Precision's prices for the average sized trees removed was considerably <br />less than Langer's. Langer's had lower prices for the larger trees of which <br />only a few are removed each year. <br />Based on these quotes, and upon Precision's excellent past performance <br />for the city in the last five years, I again hope you award this contract <br />to Precision. <br />I have been recently hired to work with the Diseased Shade Tree program <br />in Maplewood. They have again elected to enforce Nn. statutes and their own <br />city codes governing the removal of diseased trees both on public and private <br />property. This year I will also be working for the cities of Bellwood, Iahto- <br />medi and Oakdale in the same capacity. I would like to thank the members of the <br />council for their continued interest and support for this program. Past experience <br />has shown, here in the Metro area and elsewhere, that continued sanitation prac- <br />tices is still the best way to combat Dutch Elm disease and Oak Wilt. In cities <br />that have interrupted these practices, the instances of diseased trees in their <br />cities grew fast. <br />I would like to also request a raise in my hourly rate to ;11.00 this year. <br />It will surely help to pay for some added expences this year. <br />Thank you very much for your time and attention. <br />Sicerely, <br />Q <br />
