<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>I
am interested to know how your community determines tree ownership and assigns
responsibility for maintenance, particularly with regard to street trees. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Calibri><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Many
communities operate on the principle that if 50% or more of the stem is on
public property, the tree is a City asset and a municipal responsibility. Does
your community work differently? If so, do you maintain street trees if less
than 50% of the stem is on municipal land, or if only if the tree is wholly on
City property? Has your community at any point transitioned from one approach
to another, and if so, did that significantly change the workload for your
forestry crews?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
