TREES
The staff report was presented (Arnett)
Mayor YG: Xk<<XX~N~<<OCXXxx~kxx~XOC<<lX<<~OCX~N~KX When dId we establish
the $75 fee for planting (Arnett: on the costs involved -- It's
an ongoing fee based on current salarIes of IndIviduals Involved....
covered under POlICY of recovering costs involved in the operation. .
adjusted as salaries increase, etc.. ..) The reason I ask IS because
when an indiVIdual goes to a nursery to buy a tree it seems to almost
cost that and here we're talkIng about a tree plus installatIon.
h'onder whether ci ty recoverIng cost. (Arnett - able to purchase lower...)
YG: If to buy larger speCImens would we have less maIntenance for
specIal feemng (not really, not inItial planting - 6 months of watering
regardless of SIze of tree, etc.)
Reed: I note you indicate - page 5 -dISCUSSIon about criteria used
for choosing trees. XK~~&X It says those in prferred cateogIres
WIll be planted In new plantIng whIle those In least preferred
categorIes will be planted only as a replacement in already
established plantIng where existing trees are doing well.
I have a little problem WIth that. W e have had numerous complaints

nel~borhood would be willing to gIve up on the aesthet1cs for a
slow replacement program. (Arnett - or maybe they would glve up
on the whole thing and we could do a iNII~~Xx~~IX<<~M~X uniform
replacement). Reed: I'm not sure I would want to put the city to
the expense of tak1ng out a whole bunch of healthy trees all at
once wheras from my point of view, from a practical standpoint,
from a commonsense standpoint, If one diesX~~<<Xw, then we shouldn't
replace 1t w1th 1ts same troublesom variety. (Arnett - ..,..)
WE"RE paYIng for all that sidewalk repa1 r. (Arnett. . .)
I would lIke to suggest to. Councilmembers that since Itls the
people who llve along the streets that end up paying half the
cost of the sidewalk repa1r. I think we ought to have some
fleXIbilIty here lR this whole area.
Mayor YG: I think that for those trees llstlng as least desirable
and I gather those are the ones caus1ng sidewalks problems or
drlpplness or what-not, that if one dIes and there is a question
of replacement, that we establIsh some procedure where we check
wi th the residents on t he block to determine wh1ch their preference
is. lKKEXKXXX
Reed: Yes, I just don't want the CIty automatically repIning these
crummy trees.

YG: That would be my suggestion, that we get some prference from
the people there. And if there preference 15 they want continuity

from people who live on th streets with those carob trees, I believe
they are, agreessive roots, some of the Sunset park streets, when we
had to do a sIdewalk replacement dIstrIct last year, we had several
angrry people take the trees out and cut them down
causIng problems.
We have those trees on our street too -- alongside my house -
(Arnett: Camphor and bottle trees - not carobs - voraCIOUS roots
on camphor) Reed: ~othing kills those bottle trees and they are
chewing up sIdewalks lIke crazy. Problem is I don't think we would
want to replant
simply because the neighboring trees are healthy -
I don't think we'd want to continue an established variety that
chews the sidewalks up the way those particular trees do.
Arnett: ... ..from our pOInt of VIew - mIne -- aesthetic problems....
beauty of X~~MX street trees in Beverly H~lls fairly uniform
planting and SIze plus enormous amount of planting on private property
which gIves these trees background. ~~en replaceing a block of trees
- say carob or camphor - as predomInant planting and one goes out
and because of possible root problems after 30 years have caused,
somethIng smaller planted destroys aesthetIcs......
Reed. It would affect aesthetics of street. I'm not so sure the
neighbors, the people who lIve on the street, I belIeve Hill and Pier
and Sunset Park are streets that we got complaints about, 23rd from
Montana toXXX1XYM~IN~ San VIcente that has these same bottle trees
xxxx that drIp glop and chew up the sidealks and then my sIde of
Idaho from 23rd to behind Franklin School there has the same
trees. I'm not altogether certaIn that some people in the immediate

tree, then I think that's what we should do, because that will
mean less complaints and probably better maintenance on theIr part
In terms of what they VIew as the tree instead of subtle Jabs at it.
Arnett: At that same tIme could we not explore with them the
possibllty of establIshment of an assessment district In the blocks
involved to where all the troublesome trees could be removed and new
ones put In that would be less troublesome so that there would be
YG: I would suggest that we start with this policy of askIng. And if
we get people who respond a lot and say I want to change the kInd of
tree, because I'm not sure we're gOIng to get a lot of that, but if
we do, because I have a feeling many people will respond the way
you do Don, that they want the same tree, but we should give them
the optIon. If they do respond that they want to change trees,
then you can come to us and say It looks like people are willing
to change, and then we can go ahead with an assessment district, but
I don't think we should put that in at thIS pOInt.
Reed: So WIth regard to the specIfIC policy then, we need to add a
footnote or statement to the effect that least preferred category
trees will not be automatIcally replanted but there will be a
neIghborhood consultation to determine....
YG: .. ..A procedure for determInIng from the adjoinIng neighborhood
their preference for either replacement of that tree or for a
dIfferent more preferred kind of tree WIll be established before

agreement 1nto the policy.
YG: Can the Clerk note that as an amali~~~K~X amendment to this
pollcy? (r1ght) And then I would slmply urge that you look at this
cost1ng again -- the cost of the $75.
Arnett: Assuming that we -- I'm trY1ng to figure out the tlme lnvolved
in this and what it would mean with regard to going out and Sol1c1ting
the neighbors each t1me we replace a tree.
YG: Just for those that are least desirable. Not for all the trees.
Just the category that 1S least desirable.
Reed: Wait till you have one and then worry about that.
Arnett: JUst trying to determine the amount it would take staff to establish
neighborhood consultat1ons and go up and down the block.

the tree.
