A proposal will likely be <br />brought before the City Council at their next meeting. Edwards stated a tree inventory will be done in <br />order to get a handle on trees that may be impacted by the emerald ash borer. <br />Levang asked if there is any new information on the emerald ash borer. <br />Edwards stated the information he has is that it is continuing to move westward. <br />McMillan stated her understanding is that the emerald ash borer will hit a critical mass stage rather than <br />just scattered pockets, which will happen quickly, and that the City will need to keep an eye on it. <br />McMillan stated any dead trees will need to be removed if they present a safety hazard. <br />PUBLIC SAFETY REPORT <br />*10.
