Emerald Ash Borer Update - Environmental Coordinator Marty Asleson noted <br />that since the council's last update in May, the borer has moved from being seen fifteen <br />miles away to eight miles away in Shoreview. It is inevitable that it will eventually <br />appear in Lino Lakes and may already be present. The city did get some grant funds that <br />are currently being used to promote diversity in the trees in the city and about sixty trees <br />have been planted. There are some nice ash trees on public property that the city may <br />want to consider treating. Staff has been working under the Emerald Ash Borer <br />management plan that the council reviewed in May. Public Services Director DeGardner <br />added that, as far as trees on private property, the city is offering to assist by identifying <br />the presence of the borer and by providing a disposal location; the city isn't able to <br />provide complete removal services for private property. <br />The council discussed sites within the city where staff proposes to receive infested wood <br />and ensured that the sites will be available when they are needed. Staff was directed to <br />continue the public education element of the plan. <br />REVIEW REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS <br />The regular agenda for the City Council meeting of August 22, 2011 was reviewed. <br />There were no changes to the agenda as presented. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 6:10 p.m. <br />These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at the regular Council meeting held on <br />September 12, 2011. <br />Julianne Bartell, City Clerk <br />1 <br />Jeff Reinert, Mayo <br />P20 <br />
