Last year they also <br /> trimmed boulevard trees and was one of the companies helping us clear the January ice storm as well. <br /> The amount of work on this removal project alone is annually in the range of$20,000. The costs <br /> given above by Precision are slightly lower than last year (1996). <br /> Recommendation <br /> To authorize the City to enter into agreement with Precision Tree Service for the removal of diseased and <br /> hazardous trees from New Brighton in 1997 at a cost of$10.60/diameter inch (accessible trees) and <br /> $16.80/diameter inch (trees without access). <br /> • <br /> Rick Wriskey <br /> City Forester <br />
