<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The City of Coquitlam very occasionally allows residents to hire a private contractor to prune a City-owned tree. Generally, this occurs on un-maintained, un-inventoried City trees which were planted by a homeowner
on City property at some point. It is on a case-by-case basis, with a City arborist engaging with the resident to agree on a pruning regime and a contractor. There is no roster list, but we encourage the homeowner to use our City contractor. In almost all
cases, the homeowner bears the cost of the service. <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">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>
