I find our exchange of ideas lively and informative. <br /> Though we may not see eye to eye on every issue I find that your points are well thought out <br /> and come from experience. Your personal and professional commitment toward forwarding <br /> the cause of trees and proper tree care is most impressive. <br /> During our meeting you raised many points for me to address. Due to prior commitments on <br /> my schedule I'll need to address your points in three or four letters. I don't want you to wait <br /> any longer that necessary for a single letter that would cover all the points. <br /> First issue of immediate concern is that of your interest in providing tree maintenance for <br /> young trees in areas outlined on maps you've provide me. As with any City sponsored or <br /> approved activity there are a few rules to follow along with some unexpected benefits. First <br /> the benefits of an official City volunteer - benefits! Enclosed you'll find a note as to the <br /> injury coverage provided to volunteers. This should cover you if you get banged up while <br /> trimming trees. But as with most benefits, there are some strings attached. On the days you <br /> trim city trees you will need to call in letting me know where you will be working. In <br /> addition I will need to receive weekly work reports, with information as to the addresses of <br /> where you worked and when. You will also need to meet with a representative from Risk <br /> Services to make sure you know, understand, and will follow OSHA, ANSI, and other safety <br /> regulations. Please call me at your convenience to set up an appointment to meet with a Risk <br /> Service representative and work up a reporting procedure with me. <br /> During our talk you mentioned that you would be planting trees within the street rights -of- <br /> way. I must ask you to obtain the City permits to do so. City code requires that anyone <br /> planting trees within the right -of -way must obtain a permit (City Code Section 7.635 - <br /> Foliage - Permit to Plant). I can arrange to cover all your plantings with a single permit. I <br /> need to know the address, location, and species of the trees to be planted. Please call me so <br /> I can help you in obtaining the tree planting permit. <br /> If you have any questions, please call me when I have returned from vacation on Jam nary 31, <br /> 1994. Thank you. <br /> ely, <br /> an taszews <br /> Urban Forester <br /> cc: JohffViedlin, Dick Morgan, John Etter, Adrain Stansfield <br />
