<br />NEW BUISNESS 5-C <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: November 14, 2023 <br /> <br />TO: Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee <br /> <br />FROM: Kerri Seemann <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Ash Trees <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />There have been several sick ash trees in Hazelnut Park for the last few years and I suspect that <br />there are more in other parks, as well. I would like to recommend to the City Council that the City <br />Forester inspect the trees in our parks and identify which ones need to be removed in accordance <br />with city code: <br /> <br />Section 710.12.1, Subd. 3 Forester. The position of city forester is hereby continued and <br />the powers and duties of the officer are hereby conferred upon the person as designated from <br />time to time by the Mayor with the concurrence of the Council. It shall be the duty of the <br />forester to coordinate, under the direction and control of the Council, all activities of the <br />City relating to the control and prevention of shade tree diseases. He or she shall recommend <br />to the Council the details of a program for the control and prevention of the diseases and <br />perform the duties incident to such a program as adopted by the Council. Inspections may <br />be performed by a designated tree inspector(s). <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
