He asked if that would qualify the City for more assistance. City 17 Administrator Ulrich stated it would not because the consideration is the amount of property 18 damage. 19 20 Mayor Marty mentioned Ms. Haake’s earlier caution for residents to be careful about checking 21 with their insurance companies and to shop around for a tree removal contractor. 22 23 B.
