She suggested that perhaps Mr. Frevel would volunteer his services. Mr. Frevel accepted working with the Committee and City Clerk Bender requested that Mr. Frevel provide the Committee with his background and knowledge of Emerald Ash Borer. Mr. Frevel stated that for the most part he could spot an infected tree but it was difficult without foliage. He stated that he has received a certificate from the DNR regarding Emerald Ash Borer but was not a certified arborist. Chair Errickson-Grahek would work with Mr. Frevel. Committee Member Seeley evaluated all of the parks in May, 2021 and provided a list of maintenance items in each park. Public Works Director Palzer previously took care of many of the items on the list.. A suggestion was made to utilize volunteers for removal of trees within parks and staff discouraged this suggestion due to liability issues. VI. NEW BUSINESS 1. Emerald Ash Borer Program Î Lino Lakes (Example) The Committee, along with Public Works Director Palzer and Mr. Frevel would work together on identifying infected trees, the ability to treat trees or remove those that were infested too aggressively for saving and present a budget and plan to City Council in the future. A sub-committee was formed with Committee Members Errickson-Grahek, Seeley and Kubat. Motion by Committee Member Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Seeley to adopt the recommended action for treatment of City owned trees within parks, that are viable to be saved, through a vendor outside of any agreement and/or whether to recommend to Council the inclusion of viable, City owned trees and arranging for a program that can be offered to residents through the RFP process to determine a vendor.
