He discussed how 26 EAB migrated into the community over the past five years and noted the Department of 27 Agriculture has required the City to create an EAB program.

Staff commented further on the proposed program and recommended approval of the 30 EAB contract with Rainbow Treecare. 31 32 Council Member Meehlhause asked if there was an issue of having a City contracting with a 33 service provider and allowing them to use the City logo. City Attorney Riggs explained this was 34 a fairly routine practice and shows there was an approved process in place for this type of work. 35 36 Mayor Mueller asked if the City had an opportunity to provide input to the design, printing and 37 the mailing of the co -branded flyers. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson 38 reported the City would review these flyers each year before being sent out to residents in Mounds 39 View. 40 41 Mayor Mueller commented she was uncomfortable with having the City logo on this flyer, 42 especially given the experience the City had with the service line warranty letters that were sent 43 out. She questioned if the logo was used on this mailing, if other all City consultants could use the 44 City logo for their mailings. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Director Peterson stated this was 45 not the case. City Attorney Riggs indicated this was something the Council was approving as a 46 joint effort.
