Regular City Council Meeting <br />Monday, June 13, 2016 <br />Page 16 <br />In response to whether once infestation was fbund, was there any hope for the <br />tree, Cominissioner Gelbach stated that the need remained to get rid of the bark <br />and beetle to remove the danger of fiirther infestation. <br />Councilmember McGehee asked if the city had published information for the I <br />__ benefit of privat��erty owners on removal requirements or past experience in __ <br />removing infested trees. I <br />Commissioner Stoner responded that public or private parties were subject to <br />Ramsey County niles for transporting wood from a quarantined area, such as Ro- <br />seville was now designated. Commissioner Stoner stated that it was his under- <br />standing that the more cost-effective way now being used was to chip infested <br />wood to mechanically destroy the beetles.

Therefore, Chair Newby ad- <br />vised that the commission would be returning to the City Council in the near fu- <br />ture with a recommendation to consider signage in parks explaining and suminary <br />the city ban as a gentle reminder. <br />Commissioner Becker-Finn advised that when city staff receives a call reporting a <br />resident feeding wildlife, in response a staff person was sent out to help educate <br />residents. Commissioner Becker-Finn noted that the city was not just citing peo- <br />ple without a prior warning that they were in violation of city ordinance, especial- <br />
