Osceola orders removal of dead or diseased trees at three properties, will assess costs to owners
Summary
By unanimous vote, the Osceola City Council adopted Resolution 2024-24 ordering removal of dead or diseased trees at 116 N Sunset, 119 N Park and 229 E McLane under Chapter 151 and directed the City Clerk to assess removal costs against the properties after owners failed to comply with prior notices.
The Osceola City Council adopted Resolution 2024-24 on June 18 ordering the removal of trees deemed dead or diseased at three city properties and directing that the cost of removal be assessed to the property owners.
The resolution cites Chapter 151 of the City of Osceola Code of Ordinances, which establishes procedures for remedying dead or diseased trees that pose a risk to adjacent properties. The council found that owners at 116 N Sunset, 119 N Park and 229 E McLane were served notices and failed to remove the trees within 14 days as required; on that basis it ordered the city to proceed and recover costs from the owners.
The motion to adopt the resolution was made by Dan Hooper and seconded by Sonya Hicks; the roll call vote recorded George Fotiadis, Dan Hooper, Thomas Bahls, Sonya Hicks and Jose Vargas as voting aye. The resolution directs the City Clerk to assess the cost of removal against each respective property.
The action is administrative: council ordered removal under the city code after property owners did not comply with mailed notices. The resolution does not list contractor assignments or exact cost estimates in the minutes; those details will be determined during implementation and the clerk will report back when costs are assessed.
