STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

By removing hazardous trees and replacing them with new, larger tree stock, this action supports the City Council’s Strategic Outcome of Safe and Prosperous and Active and Appealing.

 

REPORT:

Due to the storm drainage and flood control project in Smucker Park, many trees died from lack of water and root disruption. Fifty-three old growth trees and 13 saplings were removed. The saplings are being replaced through the Arizona Public Service grant program, and the old growth trees will be replaced under a settlement between the City of Yuma and Yuma County Flood Control District. Fifty-three 48-inch box trees will be bought and planted to restore the park's urban forest.

Approval of this motion authorizes the City to enter into a purchase agreement with Epifini Landscaping Inc. to purchase and plant 53 trees at Smucker Park.  The warranty for the trees is for one year after planting.
