Recommendation: <br />Staff is requesting the City Council to review the information and provide further direction regarding <br />the current program/policy, options include the following: <br />1) Keep program as is and continue to provide Contractor to provide both Boulevard and private <br />property rates for tree removals. <br />2) Revise program and provide a contractor and rates for boulevard trees only. Private tree <br />removal and locating a contractor would be up to the property owner. The time line for removal <br />set by City Arborist would still need to be adhered too. If the owner failed to remove the tree <br />the City would remove the tree(s) following the City Attorney's steps and the cost for the <br />removal would be assessed for the property. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Attractive and Affordable Housing; Provide opportunity for lower <br />costs of services to residents and business of Mounds View. <br />Financial Impact: Financial Impact to the 2024, 2025, and future Budgets. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff will be at the Work Session to discuss the City Diseased Tree Removal Program. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Don Peterson <br />Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
