The next item was the Inter-Office Memorandum dated December 30, 1969 from the Super-
intendent of Recreation and Parks concerning the request for tree removal on "C" Street.
City Manager McKenzie reported to Council that in accordance with the report as submitted,
the City was to perform root surgery and tree trimming on the trees which we~recommended
to remain and that the sidewalks would be repaired as well. He stated that the City
was following the policy of tree removal at the expense of the property owners as has
been done in the past.
Mayor Bertucelli at this time called on Superintendent of Recreation and Parks Robert Maxey
who commented that if a request were made for tree removal, it was done at the expense of
the property owner and not the City.
Further discussion followed concerning the matter of tree removal if it was determined
that there was damage to the sidewalk as well as the liability with regard to damaged
sidewalk as a result of tree-root growth.
Mr. Kenneth Bakken 226 "C" Street, commented that ,Mr. Pruitt, one of the property owners
who petitioned for the removal of the trees, was presently in the hospital and was speaking
in his behalf, stating that the trees and their roots were affecting the City's sewers,
overhead electrical wires~ and were a general nuisance. He further remarked that the
City had planted trees in between the acacias and that the removal of the acacias would
still leave the newly-planted trees.
Mr. A1 Martin, 724 Circle Court, commented that the trees were too high and too large
for the area.
Councilman Steinkamp then moved, seconded by Councilman Mammini that the recommendation
of the Superintendent of Recreation and Parks be approved and accepted.
Further discussion followed at which time Councilman Rocca commented that since the trees
were damaging the sidewalks and had been planted by the City, they should be removed by
the City as well.
Mrs. Antoinette Fraschieri, 478 Avalon Drive, asked if tree surgery would eliminate the
root problems, stating that as a property owner, she would not like to have liability for
root exposure if they were fronting her property.
Mr. James Brusco, 635 Palm Avenue, suggested the removal of the large acacias, leaving the
recently-planted plum~;: stating that pruning of the trees would leave nothing but the stump
and some stick branches.
Further discussion followed at which time the motion as earlier made was discussed as well.
Councilman Steinkamp moved, seconded by Councilman Mammini that the two t~ees recommended
to remain have root surgery and pruning performed by the City's crews.
Under the question, ~1~. Martin suggested that the tree across the street likewise be
included to have root surgery and pruning performed as weii.
Councilman Steinkamp included this in his motion. Councilman Steinkamp accepted this as
his second. Motion as made and seconded was regularly carried. 9
Discussion then followed concerning the matter of the two trees which had been recommended
for removal as to whether the removal was to be done at the expense of the property owners
or of the City.
After discussion, Councilman Rocca commented that he found this was a City responsibility
and moved that these trees which needed to be removed, be removed at the expense of the City.
Councilman Mammini seconded the motion which was regularly carried.
The next item was the Inter-Office Memorandum dated December 23, 1969 from the Equipment
Maintenance Supervisor submitting compilation of bids and recommendations for one 17,000

national with the low bid of $6,255.75 for the two 3//4 ton Pickup Dump Trucks; Arata

recommendations of the City Manager and ~quipment Maintenance Supervisor be approved and
accepted.
