The City of Lino Lakes is, most likely, in year 5 or 6 in the death curve for this pest. <br />After year 6 and 7 there will be a rapid loss of all remaining Ash trees. <br />There are two boulevard tree areas that could use more money to remove and replace. <br />One area is Clearwater Creek Drive, where there are approximately 103 trees. The other <br />area is West Shadow Lake Drive with 55 Ash Trees. <br />Clearwater Creek Drive from Cedar Street to Tart Lake Road would cost twice our <br />annual budget of $30,000, if contracted. The cost would decrease if the city staff removes <br />the trees, buy smaller bare root trees (6-8 foot high), and have city staff do the planting. <br />In 2018, 33 trees were removed, stumps ground, yards restored, and trees replaced at a <br />cost of $30,000, contracted. <br />Attachments <br />1.
