Agenda Item 4-D <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE:August 16, 2022 <br />TO:Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee <br />FROM:Marie Hinton, PTRC Chair <br />SUBJECT: Tree Request Program Discussion <br />Background <br />The City of New Brighton has a Boulevard Tree Request Program. Here is the information from <br />the New Brighton website: <br />“We will restock trees May 2022 for planting October 2022. Please complete this form to request a tree. <br />We offer a complimentary tree for residents to place along roads and right-of-way of their property. No <br />sidewalk is necessary. <br />There are several requirements in order to be approved for receiving a boulevard tree, most <br />importantly: <br />Any requested boulevard tree location must pass inspection by the City Arborist to ensure there <br />is adequate space. <br />Watering and minor pruning are to be done by the underlying property owner (the city will <br />provide a 20-gallon watering bag). <br />Unless approved by the City Forester, boulevard trees are currently limited to one per <br />household.” <br />Action Requested <br />Please read through this material and prepare for a discussion during the meeting. <br />Attachments <br />Attachment A – Tree Plan Sheets
