Emerald Ash Borer Several trees have been treated by Rainbow Tree Care within the City and ` its local parks as a way to slow the spread of the bug and providing time for diversification of types of trees for replacement and strategic planning. The Committee forwarded their recommendation to Council for acceptance of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a preferred tree service provider that treats healthy trees as a preventative measure to deter infestation. Rainbow Tree Care has submitted pricing within their RFP, a guarantee, customer recommendations, etc. If Council approves, the proposal will be available to residents through the website and all social media avenues of the City. Monument/Donation Policy The Committee forwarded their recommendation to Council for approval of a Monument/Donation Policy which will guide Staff, the Committee and the donor through the processes, expectations and requirements associated with a monetary or material donation.
