Issues <br /> 1. Goals difference: City staff perspective is to attain what is best for <br /> the trees. EWEB staff perspective is to attain what is most efficient <br /> for the maintenance of the power transmission lines. <br /> 2. EWEB has specific safety clearance requirements mandated by the PUC. <br /> They prune to these standards, not necessarily for the "health" of the <br /> tree. <br /> 3. EWEB is in a position to support (with work and funding) enhancement of <br /> street trees. Encouraging this attitude is much to be desired. <br /> 4. EWEB isn't required to do more than notify the city of tree liability <br /> problems, but may be amenable to correcting them while they are there. <br /> Encouraging this attitude is much to be desired. <br /> 5. EWEB staff feel burned by Adams St. removal of last year. They feel <br /> they had agreement from Neighborhood organization and local "tree" <br /> leaders (they named Nora and Nina) but still had significant problems <br /> with the abutting residents. <br /> 3 <br />
