<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">During a recent Council meeting, one of our councillors asked whether our City would entertain allowing homeowners to engage and hire the private tree care sector for tree maintenance of
City trees as an option to expedite the tree maintenance process. In other words, if the homeowner didn’t want to wait for the City to provide the maintenance of the city tree (which could take between 6 months to a year or more to complete), they could have
the option to call a tree care contractor directly and theoretically, have the work done much sooner.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="color:black">So my question(s) to the group is, does your City, Municipality or Region allow for this, and if so;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
