Remedial action: The tree under question is adj acent to powerlines and if it were to fall it is likely to first hit the powerline before falling on my property or neighbor's property. If the City's Horticulturist's opinion that the tree is likely to fall, the City should really consider the impact of fall on the powerline which is in the public interest of a11 residents in the area including me and the neighbor at 653 Lovell Avenue. The tree's fa11 on the powerline has potential for adverse impacts with disruption of power supply for several City residents in the neighboring area in addition to the safety/ risks for persons or real estate in the vicinity of its location. If the tree's inspection staff is of the opinion that the tree will not fall on the powerline but only on the neighbor's properiy or does not think the tree's fa11 on powerline is� a concern for the City, please let me know so in writing. In that case, I would like to bring it to the attention of the State Commissioner of Agriculture for proper remedial action including investigation for decertifying or re-certifying the inspection process followed by the City or its appointed officials and also bring it to the knowledge of other residents of City of Roseville through appropriate media resources so that City's taxpayers will become aware of the fairness, competence or otherwise of the inspection process followed by the City using their tax dollars. I will also consider the other options available to me including legal remedy for fair and just treatment to me from the City. I request via this appeal that the City of Roseville act in the public interest of all City residents living in the area and arrange for notification to me or the power utility company (Excel Energy) that this tree is a hazard to the powerline and residents in the vicinity and allow sufficient notice of time for its removal (if the City's Tree Inspection Staff is convinced based on facts that the tree is dangerous or is about to fall).
