__n____________ --- -------- ~. A. can take as many of the trees as we need for projects. He is hoping to help the City out by _I donating the trees and at the same time get some positive publicity for giving the trees to the City, The majority of the trees are 12-15 feet or taller. I was hoping that there would be some 6- 8 feet tall trees, but there are very few in this category, I am recommending that the City I consider transplanting some of these spruce trees along Highway 96 at the time of reconstruction. I would also like to use some of the trees in our park areas. I I have contacted Evergreen Tree Service to get a price quote on transplanting costs. They normally charge $150-$175 per tree for 1 or 3 trees, However, they will transplant the trees for I approximately $85 if we do 25,50 trees, As a staff, we can begin to consider the various options for transplanting these trees, It is obviously more cost effective to hire a tree service to transplant the trees at the same time even if they are being planted in different areas, .

There would also be one or two meetings with residents to receive input after the master plan has been established, Ramsey County anticipates contacting the City to begin I this process in the fall. V andalism I The City parks have received a lot of vandalism in the last 3 weeks, We have had signs, tennis and basketball courts and play structures painted with obscene language and symbols, soccer nets I taken, and picnic tables broken, The majority of the damage done to picnic tables is from in-line skaters and skateboarders. They use the tables to skate on and jump over. Pro~m Re.port . Tracy has been working on the 1997 North Suburban Youth Safety Camp. The camp is a cooperative effort with the Cities of New Brighton and Shoreview as well as the Ramsey County I Sheriff, The camp will be held on August 13 and 14 at the Shoreview Community Center and 2 ..
