be a prototype to help
There was a lengthy discussion of the most economical and
efficient methads of removing the City's diseased trees
utilizing City crews and private contractors. Council
questioned Vern Peterson about the time element involved in
felling the trees versus hauling them away and the labor
costs involved in each phase of the operation, Mr. Peterson
replied 40% of the time involved would be required for felling
and cutting ua the tree and 60% for hauling it away. However,
the cost for hauling would be greater than 60% of the total
costs.
Councilman Hunt suggested using private contractors for felling
a;id cutting the trees and City crews for hauling.
Manager Willis replied the budget eid not permit a large enough
staff' to accompi tsh a pick-up operation such as this,
Ther -e was further disclission of the possibility of bulldozing
trees and cutting them on the ground, establishing burn sites
throughout the City and the implications of felling trees now
and leaving them to be hauled away in the winter.
OTIPN% was made by Councilman Hunt, seconded by Ccluncilman
K,,ils, to place the highest priority on removal in parks where
tt,ere is a predominance of elms with no ether varities of trees
