MEMORANDUM
From: Dan Sweat iO
Subject: Attached memo on Downtown Trees ff ?
Yu i
Jack Delius is going to make another request for some over-
time to provide maintenance for these trees, Even though
it is the responsibility of the adjacent property owners, the
fact is the trees are dying and the City is going to get the
blame,
Most of the original trees which were planted have been in
about a year. The original ball and burlap treatment usually
carries these trees for about the first year. Then as the
roots break through the burlap they are on their own and
this is what is occurring now,
I think we should support Jack's request for a few hundred
dollars overtime and he can have his people take care of
these trees, It is my opinion that the City might as well
get geared up to maintain the trees for the great mass of
adjoining property owners will never do it themselves.
