MEMO TO: City Council <br />FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Dir44, <br />Parks, Recreation and <br />DATE: January 19, 1983 <br />SUBJECT: 1983 JOINT P0191iRS r•OrrrnrnT <br />It was noted during the preparation of the 1983 Diseased Tree <br />Removal Contract that the Addendum to the New Brighton -Mounds View <br />Forestry Joint Powers Agreement currently refers to 1982 only. <br />In order to eliminate the need for bringing the Joint Powers Agree- <br />ment back to the respective City Councils on a yearly basis, we <br />have rewritten the Addendum to include the statement that "This <br />Addendum will apply for as long as the Forestry Joint Powers <br />Agreement is in effect." <br />As staff indicated in the fourth quarter staff report, the Joint <br />Powers Agreement has proven to be very successful, operational, <br />and cost saving. We feel that the continuation of the combined <br />tree removal contract will also be beneficial to both cities to <br />reduce costs and improve services. <br />In conclusion, staff's recommendation is to adopt the revised <br />Addendum to the Forestry Joint Powers Agreement with the City of <br />New Brighton, combining the contracting of tree removal services. <br />Should you have any questions or desire to review the entire <br />Joint Powers Agreement once again, feel free to contact staff <br />directly at Extension No. 41. <br />BKA/pf <br />
