Once staff has direction from Council on the plan, it will be <br />brought forward at a regular meeting to formally adopt. <br /> <br />Currently, the City does not directly provide assistance or programs to residents related to <br />diseased tree control. The City promotes Friends of the Parks and Trails Annual Tree Sale but, in <br />2020 and 2021, that program was suspended due to challenges from Covid and after review of <br />their website there is no information shown for 2022. In 2021, the City contracted with Rainbow <br />Tree Care to treat the City owned ash trees, staff inquired if they provide services at a discount to <br />residents to which they replied they offer approximately 30% off their standard rate when <br />partnered with a City. Attachment C is a copy of their professional services agreement. Staff is <br />requesting direction from Council if there is interest in this program. <br /> <br />Budget Impact <br /> <br />N/A <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />Attachment A – Revised Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan <br />Attachment B – Current Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan (2012) <br />Attachment C – PSA with Rainbow Tree Care <br />Attachment D – City Code Chapter 7 <br /> <br />
