The Public Works Department, City Forester, and Code Enforcement Official would like to draw your attention to the trees in your yard and park strip that overhang the curb and ask that you trim those to a minimum height of nine feet (9’) above the curb so it does not overhang onto the roadway.

Beginning in October, city employees will be around the city trimming those trees that have not been trimmed. The trimming done by the city will be for functionality and may not be esthetically pleasing. Residents are asked to comply with the requested trimmings for the best results.

The green waste facility is open for the disposal of your trimmings on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Pick up a punch pass at the Public Works Office during business hours. You cannot purchase passes at the facility. We greatly appreciate your cooperation.
