RESOLUTION
WHEREAS it appears from evidence submitted to the Council by Mr, William A.
Reiners, head of Parks and Playgrounds Department, gleaned from his detailed in-
spection of boulevard trees with Elmer H. Lesch, Entomologist of t he Standard
Oil Company, from conferences with Mr. Hodson, entomologist -from the University
of Minnesota, and inspection of certain clippings of affected limbs and branches,
and
WHEREAS it appears that severe damage to the boulevard trees will occur if the
pest infestation, blight and other diseases are not arrested by immediate treatment,
and
WHEREAS, the experts consulted have advised that action taken later than 7 days
from the date hereof will not be effective to control the progress of damage caused
as above described, and
WHEREAS, the need for spraying to control this condition has been created by
the unseasonable high temperatures and budding of leaves, and
WHEREAS investigation has been made to determine the program of spraying work
in neighboring municipalities which indicates that Hopkins, Morningside, Minnea-
polis and St. Paul have begun spraying programs, and
WHEREAS inquiry has been made concerning the cost of performing the work and
bids received from Gopher State Tree Service at $1.15 per tree, Homedale Nursery
at $1.75 per tree, and Hughes Brothers at $1.15 per tree, and inquiry has disclosed
that Hopkins is paying $1.50 per tree and Morningside is paying $1.50 per tree, and
WHEREAS it appears from the Council's interpretation of Sections 5.05 and 5.06
of the Home Rule Charter that the Charter does not require the publication of bids
