2 <br /> <br />areas. Lino Lakes is working with a company called YTS to remove the trees from these <br />areas. This work will be done this January. This will drop our inventoried park trees <br />down to less than 100. <br /> <br />YTS is giving the city a quote that can be given to residents to remove, or treat ash trees. <br />The city is also providing drop off sites for residents that would like to preemptively <br />remove their Ash trees, or have to remove them due to infestation. <br />Lino Lakes also gets a quote each year from a local company, Uppercut Tree Service, for <br />removing ash trees and treating ash trees. <br /> <br />The city has a tree sale each year for residents to buy to replace ash trees lost. The <br />County Conservation District also has a tree sale available to Lino Lakes residents. <br /> <br />Anoka County has thousands of ash trees in the regional park. Their policy is to allow <br />the trees to die on the stump, and remove only trees that pose a public health problem. <br /> <br />The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is present at this meeting to address EAB and <br />answer questions. A representative from YTS will also be at the meeting. <br />Mike Hoffman from parks department will be at the meeting as well. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL DIRECTION <br /> <br />This EAB update is to inform board members and elected officials of EAB in Lino Lakes, <br />mitigation progress made to-date, and the future of our ash tree management. Staff <br />would like to hear comments and suggestions on future direction of EAB management. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />1. Map of Target Infestation and Meeting Site
