Your March <br /> 6, 1998 memorandum clearly identifies stump and tree removal and emergency <br /> response as contracting areas. There are probably more contracts if our witness <br /> reports are accurate. <br /> Therefore, please provide us with copies of the contracts, including costs, that your <br /> department has with private or public contractors that are or will provide services that <br /> have been or could be provided by the "tree crew'. <br /> Please provide us with an organizational chart of the tree crew and identify any vacant <br /> positions and positions filled by temporary, seasonal, and any other non - represented <br /> employees. <br /> Please provide us with the equipment list, including values, used by tree crew. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Lou Sinniger, SCME <br /> Council 75 epresentative <br /> cc: Helen Towle <br /> Gary Gillespie <br /> Pattie Bean <br /> Mark Watson <br /> Bruce Cook <br /> Serving The Public Employee` "' <br /> o -a -M <br />
