MEMORANDUM <br /> January 15, 1992 <br /> TO: John Emmons, Transportation Supervisor <br /> FROM: Ben Bonner, Tree Maintenance Supervisor <br /> SUBJECT: TREE TRIMMING REQUIREMENTS FOR APWA PROJECTS FOR OVERHEAD CABLE <br /> Thanks for the opportunity for input on regulations concerning the pruning of <br /> trees for the installation of overhead cable. Jan Staszewski and I got <br /> together and agreed that we'd like to see the following regulations regarding <br /> the pruning of trees by a contractor: <br /> 1) The contractor is required to employ a licensed professional Tree <br /> Trimming Service for the pruning /cutting of any trees. <br /> 2) All pruning will be done according to he latest National Arborist <br /> Association Pruning Standards for Shade Trees. (A copy of these <br /> standards is attached) <br /> 3) City Tree Maintenance staff will have the final approval over the <br /> methods and standards used to prune /cut trees. <br /> Let me know if these requirements will cause you any problems. If so, we can <br /> discuss the issue further. <br /> cc: Bob Hammitt <br /> Gene Shutt <br /> Jan Staszewski <br />
