She commented <br />on the costs of removing 25 Ash trees that the city had removed. She stated that they had just removed <br />six trees and paid $4,500. She also stated that she had contacted the city to ascertain whether the city <br />could recommend a vendor, and she was told that was something the city did not do. Council Member <br />Rios felt that the city had received a great rate and was wondering if residents could receive similar rates <br />from the vendor. <br /> <br />Administrator Statz stated that the city does not have a preferred vendor’s listing and does not endorse <br />any given vendor. He stated that a resident that abutted city owned property hired Jeff’s Tree and <br />Landscape Services to remove trees on their private property but gave thought to completing a joint project <br />with the city to also remove dead trees located on city owned property (drainage area). Administrator <br />Statz stated that the total removal costs was $6,000 with the city paying half. <br /> <br />Mayor Golden stated that she was concerned about the proposed public hearing date of the proposed I & <br />I Program Guidelines as Spring Break was approaching and she requested that the date be moved to March <br />26, 2025. <br /> <br />Council Member Koski asked Administrator Statz to explain what the public hearing was about. <br /> <br />Administrator Statz explained that the grant funding was to be utilized for private property owners to <br />improve their sanitary sewer lines to ensure that they are only carrying sewer versus sewer and ground <br />water. He stated that each individual sewer line should be sealed and only take sanitary sewer to the <br />MCES for treatment. He stated when it rains, there is spike in the inflow into the MCES sanitary sewer <br />system which seems to be infiltration of ground water. He stated that the city would need to draft <br />guidelines for the program, and they would be available for review at the public hearing, fund received <br />from MCES was $41,000 and the program would be on a first-come, first-serve basis. <br /> <br />Page 4 of 10 <br /> <br /> <br />
