To state City policy regarding removai and replacement of street trees.
STAT-EMEtIT OF POLICY,:
1. The City will make every effort to trim and spray street trees according. to a regular schedule within the limits of available manpower.
2, Dangerous= street trees will be removed and replaced as expedi- tiously as possible. Dead trees will be removed and replaced,
as work schedules permit, as will trees that are damaging side walks, curbs and gutters.
3. Replacement street trees .-will be of the same species as those removed unless another species of street tree is designated on the master street tree plan.
4. Individuals or neighborhoods may request replacement of street trees by another species due to excess leaf drop, blockage of view, medical allergies (a doctor's certification may be re- quested where allergies are cited) or other good and sufficienl reasons. In these cases the individual or neighborhood must bf the cost of removal and replacement since no general public in. terest is served. Except where allergies are indicated, the rf placement trees must be uniform and of an improved species unlr otherwise approved by the Parks and Recreati'on Commission.
5. Any citizen or neighborhood may appeal to the Parks and Recrea- tion Commission and subsequzntly to the City Council regarding staff decision on street trees. However, official City policy
is to discourage removal -of existing street trees simply on thc basis of individual or group preference betwee'n species of trec
