CONSENT ITEM - 8G <br />-AII�)E_N HILLS <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: November 12, 2024 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />Jessica Jagoe, Interim City Administrator <br />FROM: David Swearingen, P.E. Public Works Director / City Engineer <br />SUBJECT: Hazard tree removal at Freeway Park <br />Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br />$15,000 $21,700 Parks operating budget <br />Council Should Consider <br />Motions to approve, table, or deny the following: <br />Hazard tree removal quote from Precision Landscape & Tree, inc. in the amount of <br />$21,700. <br />Backi!round/Discussion <br />During discussions for the 2025 Park Improvement Project, specifically for Freeway Park, Public <br />Works provided concerns of the large Cottonwood tree clusters as being hazardous and the need <br />for removal. Since that discussion, two of the trees within the clusters have fallen and exposed <br />rotting at the base. Due to the size of the clusters and the location being in proximity of <br />powerlines, Public Works requested a quote from Precision Landscape & Tree, Inc. to remove <br />the hazard trees (Attachment A). The contractor suggested removal activities to occur during <br />frozen temperatures to limit disturbance and the restoration area. Public Works staff have <br />reviewed the quote and recommend City Council approve. <br />Budget Impact <br />The invoice puts Tree/Weed Services over budget by $26,357.07; however, the Parks operating <br />budget overall is forecasted to come in slightly favorable to budget, which would offset this <br />overage. <br />Attachments <br />Attachment A — Hazard tree removal quote <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
