Last summer the City of Saskatoon experienced 3 significant wind events that had an impact on our urban forest. While we did a good job responding we have no formal framework in place as to how to effectively respond to storms should they hit again. I would like to know what formal response plans some of the other municipalities have out there. We will be developing ours and would like to see what others have been incorporating into theirs.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Thank you in advance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Geoff McLeod<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=673 style='width:504.9pt;border-collapse:collapse'><tr><td width=673 colspan=2 valign=top style='width:504.9pt;padding:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='line-height:115%'><i><span lang=EN-US>“We are what we repeatedly do.
