Adoption of the ordinance would allow diseased <br />tree firewood to be kept between March 1 and July 1 only if it is <br />debarked. During other months of the year, such wood can be kept <br />with the bark intact because that is the period in which trees are <br />least susceptible to infestation by the spores. <br />Administrator Achen stated that the City Forester has indicated that <br />he is aware of only three or four households in Mounds View that are <br />presently wrapping their firewood piles in plastic. <br />Acting Mayor Hodges asked how other cities handle the problem. <br />Administrator Achen replied that Mounds View's ordinance is based on <br />State regulations and that he assumed other cities follow the same <br />regulations. <br />MSP (Ziebarth- Rowley) to amend Chapter 92, Ordinance 275 to eliminate <br />the option of sealing diseased trees in clear plastic. 4 ayes <br />DISEASED TREE REMOVAL BIDS <br />Administrator Achen stated that two bids were received by the City on <br />diseased tree removal. He explained that fewer bids were received <br />this year than last year due to changes in the regulations that the <br />Metropolitan Area Tree Utilization System has imposed. He added <br />that some of the contractors did not want to bid on the job since <br />they did not know what the regulations were. The low bid the City <br />received was from J & B Tree Service, who did not know of the <br />regulations at the time they placed their bid, but who assured <br />the City after learning of the regulations that they would still be <br />able to fulfill the contract. <br />
