Council hears $40,000-a-year Chavez tree-trimming proposal
Summary
Ben Smith reported he had researched Chavez tree trimming, which would trim a certain number of trees for $40,000 per year; council members asked for further scope work and clarification on whether Chavez can process wood chips and yard waste for community use.
Ben Smith told the council he had looked into Chavez tree trimming service and that the company "will trim a certain number of trees for $40,000 a year." He said further leg work is needed to define the scope of work and costs.
Smith also said he will inquire whether Chavez can process the wood chips and yard waste so town members can use them to beautify yards. Council members asked for follow-up information on the number of trees included, specific annual work items and whether the town could phase the work by priority. No contract was approved at the June 16 meeting; council directed staff to research scope and options before any commitment.
