Process <br />1. Resident completes an online form <br />a. Selects from a list of trees <br />b. Name, Address, Phone, Email <br />c. Must agree to water the tree <br />2. HKGi with Public Works ensure that the sites do not have utility conflicts <br />3. Trees are planted once a year depending on funding. (A waitlist will be created if there are not <br />enough trees) <br />4. Trees are planted by a nursery/landscape company with HKGi monitoring the program <br />5. Trees come with a watering bag that the residents are responsible for filling <br />6. HKGI completes an inspection to ensure the work is done correctly <br /> <br />Eligibility <br />Am I eligible to receive a tree? The main criteria to qualify are 1) the tree must be on public land in the <br />boulevard, 2) spacing must be adequate between existing trees, and 3) the spacing between utilities must <br />meet engineering requirements. The requirements are included on the website. 4) The subdivision must <br />be beyond the two-year warranty period. <br /> <br />Is there a cost for the residents? There is no cost but residents that receive a tree can donate to the Tree <br />Fund to ensure that other residents get a tree. <br /> <br />What happens if a tree dies or if there are residents’ concerns post-install? Trees do not have a warranty. <br />The tree health is the responsibility of the resident. <br /> <br />What level of care is expected from residents (e.g., watering, avoiding damage), and how is that <br />communicated? The resident receives a how-to-care for the tree document, which will be on our website. <br /> <br />Next Steps <br />• Finalizing the process with HKGi <br />• Open and advertise the program in February <br />• Plant trees in May <br /> <br />ISSUE BEFORE COMMISSION: <br />The item is an update to the Commission <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br /> <br /> <br />
