Mounds View City Council November 12, 2024 Regular Meeting Page 4 to find her own contractor to complete the tree removal. She explained on Monday, April 8 her tree had been removed. She believed this was not okay. She indicated her neighbors were given 90 days to address their problem trees and she was given five. She reported she has copies of the letter she received from the City as well as the emails she received from the City Administrator. She questioned why she was charged for this, given the fact only a few inches of the tree were within the boulevard. She indicated she has spoken to professional tree removal businesses and they agreed she should have received at least a 30 day notice. She reiterated that she received her notice from the City after the tree was removed. She commented the City’s contractor was removing trees in a systematic manner throughout the City. She commented on the process that should have been followed for the abatement procedures noting she was not given proper notice regarding the tree removal. She stated what the City did to her was not right and was not legal. She indicated she would not be paying for the tree removal. Mayor Lindstrom thanked Ms. Zack for bringing her concern forward and noted he would be willing to meet with her to discuss this matter further. Vince Meyer, 8380 Spring Lake Road, asked if the City had done research on how other communities were conducting ash tree removal. He encouraged the Council to look into this.
