Lake Barcroft trustees approve revised tree-removal policy with new fees
Summary
The Lake Barcroft board approved a revised Tree Removal Policy adding a $300 disposal fee per truckload, a $500 contractor fee if needed, and requiring 50% of removal costs be paid before work begins.
Trustees approved a revised Tree Removal Policy at their June 24 meeting that establishes new fees and a prepayment requirement for removal work.
Under the adopted policy, the district will charge a $300 disposal fee per truckload and may add a $500 contractor fee when contractor services are required. The policy requires 50% of the projected removal cost be paid before the tree-removal project begins.
The minutes do not record a roll-call vote or the names of a mover and seconder; the action is recorded as approved. The policy changes are intended to clarify cost recovery for removal projects requiring district coordination or contractor assistance.
Trustees directed staff to implement the updated fee schedule and reflect the changes in public-facing materials and the district’s procedures for scheduling tree removals.
