-3- APRIL 21, 1975 <br /> Mr. Yolk did not think he would have any problems putting in a temporary <br /> diamond for this year's use. The area would probably have to be graded <br /> but that would not pose a large problem. <br /> Mr. Gerald Beach, the Tree inspector, was in the audience to discuss <br /> his program for removal of deseased trees. He needs to know how the <br /> City Intends to handle the disposal of trees. Will a specific area be <br /> designated? Will an attendant be hired to control access to that area? <br /> Mr. McLean said that an area had already been designated on the Hall <br /> Property. He did not know if an attendant would be hired. Is on <br /> actually needed?' <br /> Mr. Beach said that in areas where no attendant was used the problem of <br /> the site growing Inta a dumping ground for all kinds of trash was the <br /> result. <br /> Mr. Beach said that the elm trees must be disposed of within 72 hours <br /> o•t cutting. They must be burned or chipped up so the beetle cannot <br /> continue to live in the dead tree and spred the disease to other trees. <br /> Vr. Beach said he felt that Dutch Elm could not be brought under <br /> control but that he feels Oak Wilt can within five years, if steps are <br /> taken now to control It. <br /> Mr. McLean said that the Council would have to decide whether or not <br /> someone would be hired to oversee the disposal of trees on the Hall <br /> Property and suggested that Mr. Beach come before them at the April <br /> 28th meeting. <br /> Mr. McLean also asked that Mr. Beach check the trees at Sunrise Park <br /> especially on the East Edge of the park where there is a lot of trees. <br /> Mr. Beach explained that even if an Elm Tree was cut now, green, one <br /> generation of beetles could hatch another generation before the tree was <br /> destroyed and that is the reason the owners will have such a short <br /> notice. <br /> Oak Trees are not as dangerous but if the tree Is cut this year then it <br /> will have to be destroyed. If cut within the past year It can be retained <br /> and used for firewood. <br /> ivirs. Shayne La Forge of the Centennial Little League Association arrived <br /> and a discussion of the needs of the Association followed. The basic <br /> rt�erls of the Assocatlon at Sunrise Park for the coming year are: <br /> 1. Ag Lime to be spread around the baseline <br /> 2. Better safety fencing in the area of <br /> the player's benches. <br />
