Staff continues to evaluate the market and look for alternative ways to equip our staff. <br /> <br />Tree Maintenance <br />With the progression of the Emerald Ash Borer, the city has been keeping an eye on dead and dying trees <br />on our property and along our trails. Several times a year, the Public Works Department is canvassing these <br />areas to look for hazardous trees. We, then, solicit quotes and have a contractor take care of them all at once. <br /> <br />Centerville Lake Water Quality Project <br />The Rice Creek Watershed District, in cooperation with Anoka Conservation district, the cities of Centerville <br />and Lino Lakes, Anoka County Parks and the Centerville Lake HomeownerÓs Association has submitted a <br />grant application for nearly $1,000,000 to help fund a water quality project for Centerville Lake. The <br />recommended approach to the project is to treat the lake with Alum; a chemical which binds to the <br />phosphorus in the lake, enabling it to settle to the bottom. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
