A RESOLUTION SETTING AMOUNT OF PUBLIC SUBSIDY
FOR TREE REMOVAL AND DISEASE PREVENTION

growing upon public and private property, the existence of hazardous trees, the failure to dispose
of downed trees and the existence of obstructive limbs over streets and sidewalks substantially
depreciates the value of property within the city and/or impair the safety, good order, general
welfare and convenience of the public; and
WHEREAS, With passage of Ordinance No. 2257-03 Council has declared it's intent to
control and prevent these conditions; and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to offset the financial burden to property owners for
removal of dead and diseased trees and for disease prevention.

in effect commencing on January 1, 2004 until such time as the Council deems fit.
