<p>Many municipalities have an option to notify private landowners
of a perceived problem, and if the homeowner does not take action
the municipality may, and send the charges to the homeowner for
payment. Failure to pay means the cost is added to the property
tax owing.</p>

<p><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Thank
you for this Julian. I should have clarified that the mandate
followed the inquest. I remember that this discussed by the
MAUFS committee of ISA Ontario. Do you have a comment on
private trees targeting public areas in terms of any action
required by the municipality? </span></p>

<p>AI was the expert witness who testified for the family in

<p>The RBG inquest was specific to RBG and does not include a

recommendations that are to be applied outside of the RBG.</p>

<p>18 recommendations were made by the Jury and commented on
by Dr. Wolski, the Coroner for Ontario. These were largely

<p>Reading the documents one must be very careful to interpret

to indicate likelihood of failure, danger, unsafe, hazard

A mandate was given at the coroner's inquest in 2005
towards the development of Tree Risk Assessment
Policies as a result of the unfortunate child death on
an educational trail at the Royal Botanical Gardens.
At that time, I was retained by the coroner. This
mandate was for municipalities, conservation
authorities, parks and institutions managing large
populations of trees. I would like to know in the case
of municipalities how private trees targeting public
lands are being evaluated and monitored? Sadly, I am
in the middle of this now.<br>
Secondly, I would appreciate any opinions on what the
average homeowner is expected or should know about
trees at risk on their properties. I do know about
Property Standards ans associated bylaws.<br>
