Emerald Ash Borer Discussion <br />Moving Forward <br />Short Term/Long Term Plan (2022 - 2025) - Revived Accelerated EAB Management Plan <br />• Work with a selected vendor to remove/replace all public ash trees by 2025. <br />• Objectives <br />• Utilize an RFP and Best Value approach to utilize vendor expertise and capabilities to <br />implement a planned, systemic removal/replacement. <br />• Ensure community safety. <br />• Ensure Roseville's long term tree species diversity when selecting planting. <br />• Eventual restoration of tree canopy. <br />• Maximize efficiency. <br />• Estimated cost of the program could be $1.3 million over four years. <br />• NOTE: this timeline may be ambitious as many communities in the metro are now competing <br />for the same vendors and supplies. <br />• Would continue to pursue grant funding. <br />• Will utilize a Minnesota Green Corps staff member through August 2022 to assist in getting this <br />program off the ground. <br />
